Blackpink fans demand compensation for Deadline Tour seats with totally obstructed views
That's what happened to some unlucky concertgoers at Blackpink's recent shows at the Goyang Sports Complex, opening their Deadline World Tour.
Those seated in the N3, N8 and N9 zones found their views obstructed by huge stage installations that blocked off any view of the stage.
According to the Korean Herald, fans complained that the seats weren't 'restricted view seats' but 'no view seats'.
Though they had paid regular B-tier ticket prices of 132,000 Korean won, they could not see the stage at all while officially labelled restricted view seats were sold for 99,000 instead.
The ticketing site did mention 'possible visual obstruction due to stage structures' but according to fans, this was a complete blockage of the view and some are considering filing a report.
Korea's consumer protection guidelines allows concertgoers to apply for a full refund as well as 10 per cent compensation should the organiser significantly obstruct the audience's view.

BTS RM tells fans not to worry about latest photo, just a trick of the light
SEOUL, July 7 — BTS fans or ARMY were taken aback by a recent photo by the group's rapper RM but it was all a misunderstanding. In the photo shared in his Instagram story, RM sported coloured sunglasses with the caption 'So ready to cook'. Concerned fans spotted what looked like bruising on his face leading to worried comments on his IG. Fear not, ARMYs it was just a case of refracted light – the coloured sunglasses had left a cast on his face that mimicked a bruise but RM is just fine. He is currently in Los Angeles alongside the other BTS members working on new music now that all members have completed their compulsory military service.

(Video) BLACKPINK Drops New Song At Star-Studded 'DEADLINE' Kick-Off Concert In Seoul
BLACKPINK (블랙핑크) is back! The global sensations recently held their 'DEADLINE' concert in Seoul – kicking off their highly anticipated world tour. During the show, the quartet also gave fans a first listen at their comeback track, 'JUMP'. Over the weekend (5th and 6th July 2025), the renowned girl group performed their two-day concert at the Goyang Stadium in Seoul. This concert is BLACKPINK's first full group performance in over two years since all four members announced their departure from YG Entertainment in 2023 to pursue their solo careers. As such, BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans) gathered from all over the world to catch the girls live. Given BLACKPINK's influence in the entertainment industry, many celebrities also attended the show. On the first day of the concert, stars like EXO's Suho (엑소 수호), WJSN's Bona (우주소녀 보나) and actor Lee Minho (이민호) were spotted in the crowd. The second day of the concert saw more celebrities in attendance, including Red Velvet's Irene and Seulgi (레드벨벳 아이린, 슬기), TWICE's Jihyo and Nayeon (트와이스 지효, 나연), SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan, Mingyu, and The8 (세븐틴 정한, 민규, 디에잇), and BTS' J-Hope (방탄소년단 제이홉). The concert also garnered attention after YG Entertainment announced that BLACKPINK would perform their comeback track for the first time during the event. Before the show, the girl group dropped hints about the song, including the title: 'JUMP (뛰어)'. The song initially drew a lot of attention, despite not being officially out yet, because it marks the first BLACKPINK release in two years. However, following the first performance, netizens' reactions became mixed. As heard in videos taken from the concert, the track featured an upbeat tempo with a beat drop before the chorus. Unfortunately, many netizens found 'JUMP' a little lacklustre in comparison to BLACKPINK's past title tracks. Some argued that the quality of the song isn't up to par with the group's other releases, lamenting it sounds like a 'B-class' track. Others also said the quality of the song was disappointing, given the anticipation built up for it. However, many fans did seem to enjoy the song and are hoping that the official release would bring more justice to the song. 'JUMP' is expected to be officially released later this week on music streaming sites. In the meantime, check out a video of the performance below: Sources: Koreaboo, Twitter, TikTok
