Thousands of dedicated fans eagerly gathered at the airport and in front of Capella Hotel in Hanoi to welcome and catch a glimpse of the four members of BlackPink, namely Jisoo, Lisa, Jennie, and Rosé. The group arrived in Vietnam at 9:00 pm on Friday.

One fan from Can Tho City, Dinh Thu Hang, shared her excitement, saying, “I and my friends arrived in Hanoi at noon and have been waiting at the airport to meet BlackPink before they head to our hotel. Despite the possibility of them not using this gate, we still wanted to wait here.”
BlackPink’s Hanoi concert is a part of their Born Pink World Tour, which aims to promote their second album, ‘Born Pink.’ The tour, which started on October 15 last year in Seoul, is set to conclude on August 26 this year.
The group has planned to perform at 64 different venues worldwide, with revenue estimates totaling approximately $163 million. They have already completed successful tours in 21 countries, including the U.S., Canada, Spain, the UK, Germany, France, and China where they performed their hit songs such as How You Like That, Pretty Savage, Kill This Love, Lovesick Girls, Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, and Pink Venom.
The Born Pink concert in Vietnam is expected to attract a record-breaking 67,000 spectators over the course of two nights, making it the largest turnout for an international artist’s concert in Vietnam to date.
