Watch: BLACKPINK's Rose Just Made This Fan's Day, BLINKs Call It ‘Unforgettable'
After much anticipation, BLACKPINK finally made their return to the stage with the launch of their 'Deadline World Tour", and BLINKs couldn't be more thrilled. The first show kicked off on July 5 at Goyang Stadium in South Korea, where Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rose lit up the stage with a series of their iconic hits. Alongside electrifying group performances, each member also delivered powerful solo sets, giving fans a taste of their individual artistry.
Rose performed her chartbuster APT., featuring Bruno Mars at the show. The track, released in October 2024 as part of her first solo album, Rosie, has broken numerous records, including several Billboard ones. During the show, the 28-year-old singer took things a notch higher by inviting a lucky BLINK on the stage.
As seen in a fan-made video, Rose, while singing APT, was seen inviting a fan onto the stage. The latter, who was clearly overjoyed, ran towards the idol and embraced her in a warm, tight hug. Rose reciprocated the love. She held the fan's hand and ran to the main stage while singing the hook of the song. Following this, Rose, the fan and the background dancers were seen dancing to the peppy beats of APT.
Fans, who saw the clip on social media, started reacting to it, with one saying, 'Imagine the honor that fan had to feel being on stage with the greatest kpop group of all time and the most influential kpop track in modern times" Another added, 'Omg this is so cute ROSÉ is so real for this." A different fan wrote, 'That must've been such an unforgettable moment for that fan. Rosé always knows how to make her shows extra special."
APT, a pop-rock and pop-funk song, marked Rose's first solo single in three years and her first release since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. A collaboration between the BLACKPINK member and American pop star Bruno Mars, APT was a commercial success that spent 12 weeks at the number one position on the Billboard Global 200. It broke several records and won numerous awards at various shows.
Besides Rose, the other three members also performed some of the hits from their first solo albums. Jisoo performed a few selections from her EP Amortage, Jennie from her album Ruby and Lisa from her record Alter Ego.

If you've scrolled through Instagram or TikTok lately, you've probably seen it: international influencers and everyday youth showing off their "K-pop idol makeup challenge." What's the hype? It's all about that soft, glowing skin, subtle pink lips, and the signature under-eye sparkle-think Blackpink, IVE, or NewJeans vibes. The world is obsessed, and honestly, can you blame them?

Over 18% of shoppers say "Korean-ness" is a top reason for their purchase. From Seoul to Social Media: The Secret Sauce of K-Idol Makeup So what's so special about this makeup style? Unlike the heavy contouring you see in the West (think Hollywood red carpet), K-beauty is all about enhancing your natural features. The goal is to look youthful, soft, and approachable. The famous "aegyo-sal" (cute under-eye puff) is a must, usually highlighted with a touch of shimmer or a pale pink liner. Add a hint of blush, a gentle sweep of eyeshadow, and you're basically ready to debut on a music show. Beauty YouTubers from Vietnam to Ukraine are breaking down these techniques, and their videos are going viral.

There's something super relatable about wanting to look your best without going overboard. Just like how we love a natural glow and a pop of color on the cheeks, K-beauty is about celebrating what makes you unique, not hiding it.

BLACKPINK stars in first team photos in over 2 years: Check out Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa's fierce looks for JUMP
The BLACKPINK members have turned into chic babes once again! In new photos released ahead of their comeback with digital single JUMP, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa have starred as the embodiment of their charms. Taking a page out of the Gen Z-inspired AI themes, the girl group has shared 'Visual Cut' images. In solo teaser photos, they have donned oversized puffer jackets in a very Balenciaga-esque moment. BLACKPINK JUMP Release Plan BLACKPINK is all set to drop a new single, their first in almost 3 years, and the fans couldn't be more excited. After teasing the track ahead of their world tour, the girls performed it live to their thousands of fans at the Goyang leg of the DEADLINE World Tour. Alongside a very on-brand rap-heavy lyric score, the girls also showcased their choreography for the song while performing it to about 78,000 BLINKs over 2 days. It earned wild reactions from the audience and increased the excitement for the upcoming release. In the newly released photos, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa can be seen taking on never-before-explored styling on them, with tight leather-like tops over skirts and shorts that come from the very brands they've been representing. Displaying the words 'JUMP' and 'high on hope' on their fits, the latter of which can be assumed to be a lyric in the song, they mean business. However, the background of their photos looks superimposed, so we're unsure if that bit was intended after all. The other set of solo images is starkly different and honestly right up our alley, as the four members' distinct styles can be seen shining. While Jisoo goes for a massive rose motif on her white jacket- a nod to her solo song FLOWER, Jennie's deep red puffer looks right out of her Mantra music video. Rosé brings out a unique touch of a cropped coat over a corset look and wet hair look, making the green work really well. Lisa's blue jacket bets everything on its collar as most of it is hidden, but her huge dangly earring caught in the moment adds fun to her look. BLACKPINK's JUMP drops on July 11 at 1 pm KST (9:30 am IST).

Labubu fan club gets a new member, Vishwak Sen seen dangling it on his Mercedes
Vishwak Sen is currently working on his next film, Funky, but putting that aside, the actor is now hitting headlines for a whole new reason. In a recent video, the Telugu actor was seen joining the latest trend of viral Labubu dolls. Vishwak Sen gets papped with his Labubu doll Vishwak Sen was recently papped as he drove around town in his Mercedes. In the video captured by Kamlesh Nand, the actor's car can be seen having a Labubu doll dangling behind it. As the Labubu doll has become a massive fashion trend, the actor was seen sporting his blue-colored monster figure. Moreover, Viswak himself was spotted driving his suave vehicle, looking handsome in a red t-shirt. Watch Vishwak Sen's papped video here: What is a Labubu doll? Labubu dolls are the latest fashion trend that has slowly taken over the internet. These creepy-cute-looking dolls are being sported as a fashion statement by the celebrities. Many are using it on their bags, cars or just holding it. For those unaware, the figurines are charming monster dolls that stray away from the concept of traditional dolls we are all familiar with. Instead of being cute and adorable, these dolls take on a more scary look with pointy sharp teeth, mischievous eyes, yet a charismatic look. Similar to Pokémon cards, Labubu dolls come in blind boxes, with a consumer not knowing what it looks like until bought and opened. While the dolls were initially manufactured in 2019, it was in 2024 that they shot to popularity when K-Pop idol and BLACKPINK star Lisa was seen carrying one. Later on, international icons like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and David Beckham were also seen with their own collectible dolls. In contrast to usual figurines, Labubu mirrors the emotional and unhinged chaos that is settled within humans, making it a sensation amongst Gen-Z. Vishwak Sen's latest film Vishwak Sen was last seen playing the lead role in the Telugu-language action comedy Laila. The movie, directed by Ram Narayan, featured the story of Sonu, who disguises himself as a woman, Laila. The film, which is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, was a critical and commercial failure upon release. Owing to the film's failure, the actor even penned a gratitude-filled apology note to the audience. Moving ahead, the actor has films like Funky and a sequel to Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi in the lineup.
