https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/entertainment/2023/02/k-pop-sensation-blackpink-cancel-rumoured-auckland-tour-date-due-to-unforeseen-logistical-challenges.html

concert cancelled

[glad hill]

YALL THIS IS SO SAD 😭

IM SOBBING

I was just gonna say this

[boreal relic]

😭😭

that’s so sad

surely they can come at the end of the year? 😔

[lusty bluff]

🇳🇿 [Canceled] Auckland (June 21, 2023)

[small locust]

NOOOO😭😭😭😭

[rancid kettle]

I dont think so, I feel its about the money. One small arena show in NZ might be make sense for YG financially. The most cost-efficient thing to do is to do AUS and NZ at one go, so if they dont do this time I doubt it will ever happen again

[glacial arch]

Lol

[glad hill]

They better come again another time 😭

Rosie and Jennie need to visit their part hometownsssss

😭

[brazen trellis]

sad

[violet berry]

I can't believe they took away New Zealand just to add Mexico. That proves that YG is all in it for the money. He doesn't want to do small countries and will only go where the money is. It's just very unfair to Rosé though because this is her hometown where she was born and now she's the only member who won't get to do her hometown. No wonder the Australia prices are now more expensive than other countries. Especially sad considering this might be their farewell tour.

[brazen trellis]

nah i dont thinsk it gonna be there farewell tour

[violet berry]

It's Rosé's hometown not Jennie's but yeah I agree

[brazen trellis]

yeah rosé should visit her hometown

[violet berry]

Well with all the extra last minute dates it feels that way. The contract is ending this year and with Baby Monster debuting I think it's not looking good

[brazen trellis]

idk i thnk they will renew their contract eaither with yg or blacklabel

[violet berry]

Rosé will probably do a solo gig to make up for it if they do disband but YG should be supporting her and let her do Auckland

[violet berry]

Maybe but even if they do they probably won't tour for a long time

[brazen trellis]

im expecting a 2025 tour if they renew

or 2026

[violet berry]

It's a big big IF honestly. I mean the girls are also bordering on their 30s and probably want to do their own thing. Anyway this news is pretty disgraceful and very last minute. It just shows YG does not care about the fans. A lot of the local ones are big Rosé supporters too.

[boreal relic]

its not a he anymore? isnt the new ceo a woman

but yeah so sad we cant have shit in nz

hopefully next time (they're never coming here since they drop music every 5 years)

[violet berry]

I don't know. But YG himself was in Baby Monster's promo video and he seems to be overseeing them so I presumed he is once again in charge

[violet berry]

They did come to NZ before right? I don't see why they couldn't squeeze one day in. What's worse is they assigned NZ then took it away

[west dome]

And they are already in the middle of their world tour

[violet berry]

Yeah like I said I think Rosé will come and perform solo one day but the group probably won't

[violet berry]

Yeah and YG is still adding dates - like the Mexico one. Mexico is further to travel than NZ. It's because Latin Americans were louder and YG is thinking about who will make more money. Not about saying thanks to fans

[west dome]

They are added more?!

Bruh thats messed up

[violet berry]

Yes Mexico. They added Mexico City and removed NZ

[west dome]

Rosé and Jennie really wanted to visit

They couldnt even make that happen

[violet berry]

Yeah and I think especially Rosé cause she was born there and talks about NZ the most. That's why out of all four I think Rosé is most likely to come as a soloist but as a group now I don't know

[west dome]

Really? I feel like jennie would idk why maybe because Rosé is mostly known for being an aussie and yk

But idk

[violet berry]

YG said they took NZ away "due to logistics"

[west dome]

Im just sad that they canceled

[west dome]

Wtf

Whats the point tbh

Yg is just in it for the money

[violet berry]

Rosé is kinda both. But her passport is Kiwi above all else lol.

[west dome]

Ohh ig so

[violet berry]

Yeah like I said cancelling it is a bad look on YG. Would be better if they never listed it at all cause now we know it's down to greed. And I'm sure internationals would have travelled to it but maybe the venue size is too small or something for YG's liking

[west dome]

Maybe it is a little small

But the thing yg doesnt realise is there is ALOT of blinks here

More than he thinks

[violet berry]

Jennie mighttt but I feel like her connection isn't that strong. She did study English there for a couple of years while spending the other half of the year in Korea but she never claimed to be Kiwi or was a citizen so I'm honestly not sure if she feels that strongly about it

[violet berry]

Yeah the average crowd Blackpink is playing to is 20,000. I think the smallest they played was 17,000

[violet berry]

Yeah. It's such a snobbish attitude. Like I said one day wouldn't have killed them as a thank you to fans

[west dome]

Woah

[violet berry]

Yeah so any of those 13,000 venues is no good to YG. The company only cares about the money and packing in as many people as possible

[rancid kettle]

the Mexico date is after Coachella so it makes sense

[rancid kettle]

then it's up to the promoter too book a larger venue, maybe the promoter doesnt think it is feasible

[river dock]

Omll i was looking forward to the concert

honestly wana hoka yg

[rancid kettle]

There could be other reasons as well, for example the local promoter needs to hire a local production team to set up the stage, maybe they find it difficult to find a team to do the job with a feasible price

Promoter wants to make money as well so dont just blame YG, blame the Frontier as well

At least YG was trying and they made further than any other Kpop companies tbh, maybe NZ is just too small a Kpop market for a concert with high production cost

[violet berry]

I think people would have accepted it more if it hadn't been listed in the first place and if other cities weren't added instead. It got fans hopes up

[violet berry]

I think Blackpink went to NZ before no? Either way it is basically greed - YG thinks its a waste of time going there cause the big money isn't there.

[rancid kettle]

tbh better to direct these msgs to the local promoter instead of YG, cause they will listen to the local ppl and they need to come up a reasonable offer to YG

[violet berry]

The blame could be on YG too. I think there's enough to be shared

[rancid kettle]

to be fair, to hold a concert oversea, you must have a local promoter willing to pay the price and take the risk. Otherwise they could do a charity tour around the world for fans and YG can shut down the girls can live with no income

[violet berry]

YG shouldn't have listed New Zealand imo if that wasn't already discussed. New Zealand is a small country not known for having massive concert stadiums. So I don't know what YG was expecting

[west dome]

That wasnt ygs fault tho they didnt know what will happen

[violet berry]

YG can google it though - if they were looking for more out of NZ they made a mistake

YG won't do small countries that seems to be it.

[violet berry]

To be fair the girls are making more money in one show alone than other artists do in multiple shows. Even Harry Styles tickets don't cost that much. I'm sure one smaller venue would not hurt their bank balance just to make fans happy. That's all I'm sayin

[rancid kettle]

from what I have seen Harry Style's concert doesnt have as high production values compared to BP, no fireworks, laser shows, no dancers just a band and he had a much bigger venue so ofc BP have to make it up by ticket prices...

[rancid kettle]

You should not blame ppl for being greedy with all these speculations. Maybe some worker dropped the ball, maybe they dont have a business anymore, in either case you have no right to blame the company for being greedy. And the end of the day, it's a stakeholder business....

[violet berry]

I'm not a big YG defender tbh

[rancid kettle]

I hate YG but on this one I dont see they are doing anything outrageous

It's probably not even in their control if it;s the promoter's decision, e.g. failed the secure the venue or found the cost is higher than they expected

[violet berry]

I still think it's a greedy company. You can call it tactical if you like but that's my opinion. Blackpink's fanbase has so many kids and I don't think YG does anything for the goodness of their heart

[rancid kettle]

My partner is working closely with a company in NZ and I wont be surprised if someone dropped the ball

[rancid kettle]

all Kpop agencies are greedy what you are talking about?

YG having the least profit suggests that they are probably less greedy than their peers tbh

[rancid kettle]

wondering how old you are, cause you seems to be brainwashed by some kpop propaganda to believe that HYBE/JYP are not "greedy" if that's the word you wanted to use to describe a shareholder business

What did Hybe do is good for goodness of army's hearts? May I ask? They are good at selling stories and creating a good image but they also created a jealously, toxic fanbase who can do anything to drag other artists who are threats to their idols

[light lagoon]

fake ass bitches 😭 they wna cancel on us but not Aussie ? bruhh

[small locust]

Nahhh cause FRR😭

[west dome]

Ikr

Its so unfair 😭

[boreal relic]

LMFAOO samesame

[covert maple]

Mexico is a 50k stadium so not entirely suprised they took the opportunity to play a big location in Mexico

[cloud sandal]

WHAT HAPPENED

WHY DID IT CANCEL

[shadow aurora]

😭 https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/entertainment/2023/02/k-pop-sensation-blackpink-cancel-rumoured-auckland-tour-date-due-to-unforeseen-logistical-challenges.html

[signal seal]

;-;

[clear abyss]

I was so exited 😢

Yg needs to get there priority’s together

[fleet panther]

I FEEL SO BAD FOR YASLLLLL

😦

[round canyon]

this is so sad

😭😭

[solemn shore]

I FEEL SO BAD

[signal seal]

fr tho

i feel so so bad for those who were looking forward to blackpink’s concert only to find out it’s now cancelled :(

[glad hill]

IKKKK there are sooo many blinks in New Zealand who would love to see themmmmm

[signal seal]

[solemn shore]

[midnight palm]

[signal seal]

:c

[violet berry]

Encore in Bangkok (again) and still no New Zealand

[clear abyss]

I’m so sad

I thought of an outfit and everything😭😭

I even bought the light stick🥲😭🥲😭💀

[midnight palm]

Waiting…

[river dock]

ive been dreaming of going to their concert🥹
really got my hopes up ae

[boreal relic]

fax

💀

[clear abyss]

Every time I look at concert videos I feel like crying

Because they may or may not disband but if they do I atleast want to see them before they go

[brazen trellis]

I don’t think they will disband

[signal seal]

i pray to god they don't disband

[halcyon ice]

their contracts and in june and they have concerts booked after june,

(hyde park july)

[violet berry]

That doesn't mean anything even if that is true. That just means they aren't renewing.

[halcyon ice]

awh ☹️

[clear abyss]

There contracts end in august

Their*

[round canyon]

they renewed

[rancid kettle]

nah

[round canyon]

yurh

[slate flower]

They didn’t yet but they will

[violet berry]

Don't be too confident cause there's a good chance they won't

[slate flower]

The contract ends in august

But then tell me why they are having a encore in San Francisco in august

[violet berry]

You said it yourself. They are still working until the end of August

US encore will be the very last stop by the look of it.

[slate flower]

Ohhh ur right tho

Sorry about that 💀

But at the same time there is no reason for them to sign it bc of how yg treats them

[violet berry]

Yeah no worries. It's just not worth getting the hopes up for people until there's some concrete YG announcement. But I actually think it's better if they disband then do a reunion tour in 2 years. They will probably reunite quicker that way since they will 100% be put on a huge hiatus anyway and at least going solo they can do a lot more than just fashion

[slate flower]

Yess and they can do something lkke 2ne1 like the reunion at coachella

[violet berry]

That would be better. Honestly if they renew I think people are going to end up being disappointed af because even though legally they are still bound in a contract my guess is there will be very little action from Blackpink for a long time after this. YG will promote Baby Monster full on off the back of this tour. Then probably give Treasure a turn too. If you work in YG it's all about long hiatuses and "taking turns"

[slate flower]

Yea

[violet berry]

I'd honestly rather see all of them end the contract, go with separate labels, do full solo albums and movies and tv shows. And get lots of content from all four girls simultaneous. Then do what 2ne1 did and reunite for another group project

[sly abyss]

im going.

[clear abyss]

Yes but no

That would be boring no offence

[violet berry]

Another year to two year long Hiatus will be worse

[clear abyss]

True

[nova night]

So is everyone recovering form the canceling of nz bornpink concert

[glad hill]

Trying to, yes 😭

[midnight rose]

i wonder if they'll have an oceania encore and try to fit nz in?

[rancid kettle]

unless they can do a stadium concert in NZ. I dont think they will do arena concerts anymore

[fleet panther]

i feel so bad for you all 😭

I hope you all get a ENCORE concert close by atleast

im going to paris encore to see them again

[scarlet charm]

Same, did u order a flight ticket yet?

[fleet panther]

yepp, I live in spain tho, never been to paris

I know 0 french

all I need is accomodation,

[clear abyss]

If they aren’t doing a Oceania encore I will likely book a flight to somewhere

But I am crying in the inside

[fleet panther]

i feel youuuu... not properly tho

im sad about twice, teasing barcelona, but they arent even coming it

😭

[clear abyss]

:(((

K-pop groups saying their doing a world tour * goes to America Europe and a bit of Asia*

[fleet panther]

lol, europe if we are lucky

most world tours include Asia, Oceania and USA..

Like stray kids 😭

''world tour'' they went to oceania, asia and 80% USA

And twice, after 7 years of waiting we got 3 shows in europe . Want to cry inside

[fleet panther]

also, I think they will, seems like they are doing encores for every continent

But it annoys me again

Europe: 1 encore

USA: 4 Encores, some with 2 days

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-gif-23861497

[clear abyss]

Exactly

[fleet panther]

US gets special treatment 24/7

and it angers me alot

[rancid kettle]

Cause the return of touring in Europe is much lower given lower ticket prices than the US and higher tax rate for concerts. For Oceania the market is even smaller. I think BP wont accept arena tour offer in Oceania next time, they can simply make much more money in Asia and US.

[rancid kettle]

They wont

[clear abyss]

Who knows

[sly abyss]

USA BETTER

[fleet panther]
