Safety hazard at BLACKPINK's DEADLINE concert? BLINKs enraged over fog and fire effects near artists and fans
This time, however, the issue goes beyond fan dissatisfaction. The latest controversy has raised serious safety concerns - not only for the four members, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo, but also for the fans standing very close to the stage.
Safety hazard at BLACKPINK's DEADLINE concert in Citi Field
After the concert, several fans took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express concern over the intense fog and fire effects used during the show. One fan mentioned suffering eye irritation due to how close the effects were to the audience, while others reported similar discomfort and even considered seeking medical attention.
we should demand yg to pay for our doctor visit cuz i was dying.. especially during ktl omg i was so scared
Many pointed out that Jennie appeared visibly affected during the group's performance of JUMP, seen wiping her watering eyes onstage. The moment fueled speculation that the special effects may have been too close to both the artists and the crowd.
also guys can i sue yg or citi field for an injury?? cuz yesterday the fog and fire effects were so close to us it got into my eyes and i thought im gonna go blind.. it also hurt jennie during jump pic.twitter.com/I5puVkI9PS
As posts and videos from the event continue circulating online, fans are now questioning whether YG Entertainment and the venue provided adequate safety measures. The incident has reignited conversations about concert safety standards and production oversight on such large-scale tours.
yg and whoever staffs behind the stage of blackpink needs to be called out. first it's Lisa & few dancers the malfunction incident of stage they'd almost gotten into accident, next Rosé she slipped probably the stair is slippery and now it's Jennie the fog and fire effects.

The DEADLINE World Tour is set to cover 16 cities with a total of 31 shows, including major stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Toronto, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
However, with each stop, the controversies surrounding the group seem to grow louder. Fans are holding out hope that as the tour progresses, improvements will be made - and the focus can return to the music and performances rather than the drama.

Avengers Doomsday plot leaks: Fan theory says it will be Pedro Pascal vs Robert Downey Jr, reveals real reason why Dr Doom was seen with Franklin
It's always entertaining to see fans of superhero films speculate about what all is going to happen in the upcoming films. One goes through multiple Reddit threads, posts on X (formerly Twitter), and hundreds of videos on YouTube and ends up being even more confused about the plot than before. Well, a new set of Avengers: Doomsday leaks are making the rounds of the internet, and if they are true, fans will be able to see the return of many beloved superheroes in prime roles before Marvel moves on to Secret Wars. This article contains spoilers for The Fantastic Four First Steps so if you have not watched the film, come back to us later. It all started when someone supposedly working for Marvel Studios leaked a document containing plot points for Doomsday. Apparently T'Challa's sister, Shuri, is going to be a big part of the movie, as she is the one who will discover the incursions (worlds colliding) and the timelines merging. The Fantastic Four will be travelling to Earth 616, as shown in the post-credits scene of Thunderbolts*, to recruit help for their upcoming fight against Dr. Doom. Wong, Thor, the Thunderbolts, Banner, and Captain Marvel will all be informed about Franklin's kidnapping and the fact that a specific universe is heading for them at a dangerous speed. ALSO READ: Comic-Con salutes James Gunn and gets first looks at Coyote vs. Acme, and new Star Trek forays Upon investigating more about the universe, Shuri will detect the energy signature of Captain Monica Rambeau, something which makes Captain Marvel even more excited for the mission, as she wishes to rescue her mentee. While all this information should be taken with a grain of salt, the angle of Reed and Sue's son Franklin is definitely worth exploring. The post-credits scene of The Fantastic Four: First Steps shows Franklin in the arms of Doom as the masked god reveals his face to the child. The omega-level mutant revived his mother, and many believe that Doom removed his mask so that Franklin could heal the injuries on his face. Franklin has the ability to become the strongest of all, and just like Galactus, Doom realises this as well. It's safe to assume that Reed Richards and Victor Von Doom will be once again go head-to-head. Reed will have the rest of the Fantastic Four with him, while Doom will command his army of Latveria (a fictional country ruled by him). We know Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, is in the film, which means that he will be leading the charge for the new Avengers. While Captain Marvel's return can prove to be exciting, The Marvels was a huge letdown at the box office, and if she returns, this might prove to be her last appearance. Among all this speculation, a new doubt among fans seems to be on the rise. What if casting Robert Downey Jr as Dr. Doom is just a ruse, in order to hide the identity of the true Von Doom.
