BLACKPINK released their bold new sides in concerts overseas: Audacious images and alluring performances that broke the idol stereotype
Fans were more than welcoming to this new side of BLACKPINK.
As a globally renowned idol group, BLACKPINK is not afraid to break the stereotype and goes beyond the norms in their performances on overseas stages. With their touring schedules in the West, the BLACKPINK girls are showing brand new and bold aspects of themselves that cannot be found in Korea.
Jennie embraces her bold image
Jennie is the most daring member in BLACKPINK that will not shy away from any sexy or revealing outfits, especially as the face of many Calvin Klein’s promotional campaigns. During her World Tour performances, the rapper is not hesitant to bring the sexiness on stage.
Recently, in the “BORN PINK” concert in Paris, Jennie dropped her overcoat during the “Typa Girl” stage and twerked in front of the audience, an unexpected move that took every spectator by surprise. Previously, her ballet-inspired outfit for her solo stage “You&Me” was the talk of the town as it stepped out of the safe zone of K-pop standards and led a new trend of stage outfits.
Jisoo broke out of her cocoon, Lisa and Rosé shocked the audience with their electrifying stage performances
As BLACKPINK pushes for more activities in North America and Europe, Jisoo embraces her bolder side with fiery dance moves and attractive expressions on her “Liar” performance. Compared with the original performance by Camila Cabello in LA, Jisoo did not fall short but was exceeding set expectations, taking social media by storm.
Lisa is well-known for her professionalism and eloquence of different dance types, with a notable example of pole dancing. Apart from her charismatic and powerful moves, Lisa’s solo pole dance routine was nothing short of femininity and elegance.
In her “Hard to Love” stage, Rosé brought out her sensual side with a one-shoulder-off fur coat that revealed her captivating slinky dress. The singer’s sexy image was more subtle but no less seductive.
BLACKPINK and the difference in joining award shows in the US versus Korea
Six years in the industry but BLACKPINK only attended year-end award shows in Korea for a few times. In 2022, the group was present at the VMAs with top global stars.
BLACKPINK in Korea is more reserved due to many strict award show etiquettes and image curation. Therefore, it won’t be easy to find their groovy or laid-back images there. On the contrary, at the VMAs, the girls are more than happy to dance along to the music and stages of performing artists.
