#SHOWBIZ: BlackPink fans demand compensation for Deadline Tour seats with obstructed views
This happened at the South Korean girl group's recent show at Goyang Sports Complex, which is part of their Deadline World Tour.
The Korean Herald reported yesterday that those seated in the N3, N8 and N9 zones found their views obstructed by huge stage installations.
They had paid regular B-tier ticket prices of 132,000 Korean won (RM409), but could not see the stage at all.
The ticketing site mentioned 'possible visual obstruction due to stage structures' but according to fans, this was a complete blockage of their view and some are considering filing a report.
South Korea's consumer protection guidelines allow concert-goers to apply for a full refund as well as 10 per cent compensation should the organiser significantly obstruct the audience's view.

He also serves as the main rapper for the popular Korean group GOT7 (갓세븐). Jackson released his solo debut song, 'Papillon,' which quickly boosted his popularity beyond the group. This track showcased his talent as a strong, independent artist. Similarly, the 'MAGIC MAN' collection reflects Jackson's vision. He actively contributed to designing this collection, ensuring it truly represents him. It connects his music persona with designer toy craftsmanship, offering Team Wang and Jacky (Jackson's fans) a unique and authentic experience. Fans have eagerly embraced this creative fusion, celebrating the singer's artistry in a fresh and exciting way. The designers take the outfits fans know and love, combining elements from concerts and music videos to enhance each figurine. Additionally, some collectables include special features. For example, the Coachella 2023 figure changes colour when exposed to heat above 37°C. This temperature-sensitive effect adds a unique and interactive touch to the collection. Each box offers the chance to receive one of seven distinct outfits. Among them is a secret design called '100 Days,' which adds extra excitement. So, don't miss your chance to grab these adorable figures before they sell out again at Pop Mart. Act fast to add these limited-edition collectables to your collection!

(Video) Fans React To BLACKPINK Jennie & Samuel L. Jackson Lip-Syncing To Each Other In New adidas Ad
Sometimes, you might spot your favourite celebrity in an advertisement for a brand they represent as an ambassador, or have collaborated with. Other times, an ad will feature an all-star cast, including some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. adidas did just that with their latest campaign for the adidas Superstar collection. The black and white video advertisement, posted on Instagram, features rappers Missy Elliott and GloRilla, actor Samuel L. Jackson, model Gabbriette, and BLACKPINK's Jennie (제니). While the video has been gaining plenty of attention on social media, it's not necessarily for the shoes they're promoting. Here's what we mean: Yesterday (Monday, 7th July), adidas shared their latest advertisement on their official social media platforms, featuring the aforementioned celebrities. The promo was created to celebrate the brand's timeless classic, with narration by Samuel L. Jackson and the other stars joining in with their lines throughout the video. On Instagram, fans were raving over Jennie's appearance, praising her ethereal visuals in the promo. Over on Twitter, however, the conversation took a different turn. At one point in the advertisement, many viewers were caught off guard when BLACKPINK's Jennie and the Marvel actor appeared to lip-sync to each other's voices during the line, 'Trendy today, tacky tomorrow.' The unexpected moment instantly went viral with many finding it unexpected and hilarious. Some likened the viral clip to the 'you make a face, I make a sound' game that's been trending on TikTok. Others joked that this might be the closest we'll get to a Jennie and Marvel collaboration, given that one of Samuel L. Jackson's most iconic roles is Director Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Whatever the comments are, most appear to be positive, and fans love the new campaign, knowing the K-pop idol is part of it.
