DEADLINE tour: BLACKPINK to perform FOREVER YOUNG, How You Like That and more, fans demand 'different setlist'
BLACKPINK's probable setlist for DEADLINE World Tour
The fans who heard BLACKPINK practice for the DEADLINE concerts on June 3, recorded parts of the session and shared the clips on social media. In the video, snippets from As If It's Your Last and FOREVER YOUNG were heard. The original poster also shared that they also heard the girl group members rehearsing DDU-DU DDU-DU, How You Like That and probably PLAYING WITH FIRE as well. BLINKs who came across the post, mostly criticised the song choices.
Check out fan reactions to BLACKPINK's alleged setlist
Fana noted that the alleged setlist was the same as BLACKPINK's last October 2022-September 2023 BORN PINK concerts. They were understanding of the fact that the K-pop stars did not release any new album so they had to perform the songs they did in earlier shows, however, as per them, the least they could do is create a "different setlist" from their existing tracks.
"at least they should perform some of the songs they never did at the last tour like ice cream, love to hate me, the happiest girl, ready for love etc," they stated. However, a few patient BLINKs felt that "Forever young and aiiyl were always going to be" in the setlist, probably because they are one of the classic BLACKPINK songs. They are hopeful that the girls might debut some of their unperformed songs along besides performing the popular tracks.
Most of them felt that the girl group's discography was really short so chances of an innovative setlist was almost impossible. According to them, "the problem was going on tour without a new album" and it would have been better if they released a new album this year and headed for a tour in 2026.

Snowdrop reunion: Jung Hae In, Heo Nam Jun and more support Jisoo at BLACKPINK concert, Kim Hye Yoon missing
BLACKPINK's 2-day concerts at the famed Goyang Stadium in South Korea saw an outpouring of K-pop and K-drama celebrities. It seemed that everyone from BTS' J-Hope to members of groups TWICE, SEVENTEEN, Red Velvet, LE SSERAFIM, BABYMONSTER, TREASURE, WINNER, I-DLE, IVE, and more were in attendance. Meanwhile, the acting list included Jung Jae In, Jung Ho Yeon, Lee Soo Hyuk, Hyeri, Kim Jiwon, Lee Dong Hwi, and more. In a new update from backstage, the cast of Jisoo's debut K-drama Snowdrop had gathered to celebrate her performance at the historic venue. Snowdrop team gathers for BLACKPINK's Jisoo Actress Jung Shin Hye shared photos of the cast members posing with the singer-turned-actor. Yoon Se Ah, Jung Eugene, Jung Yi Seo, Choi Hee Jin, Heo Nam Jun, Ahn Dong Goo, and Jung Hae In could be seen in the photos. Noticeably, actress Kim Hye Yoon, who played Gye Bun Ok, Jisoo's Eun Yeong Ro's friend, turned enemy on the show. The two have previously shown how close and supportive they are of each other. So it is assumed that only another K-drama shoot or other filming schedule could have kept the younger actress, who is also known to be a fan of the BLACKPINK girls. Meanwhile, the actors seemed to have had a lot of fun at the concert, thanking Jisoo for the invite and celebrating her stadium show with loud cheers. They called it 'dream-like' and showered love over all four members, including Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. Other invites from Jisoo are said to have been to Hyeri, Lee Soo Hyuk, and BTS member J-Hope, whose attendance caused an uproar at the venue. He is the first from the septet to be spotted at a BLACKPINK concert, and anyone who is aware of K-pop lore would be shocked to see him in the audience.

K-Pop, Demons, and Shaman Magic - Why Everyone's Obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters
When Grim Reapers Dance in Leather Pants - The Craziest Idol Concept Ever Imagine a squad of grim reapers, not lurking in the shadows, but busting out synchronized dance moves in leather pants and see-through tops. Sounds like a skit from an old-school comedy show, right? But in 2025, this is the talk of the town. The animated film ' K-Pop Demon Hunters ' has taken the world by storm, with its demon idol group Saja Boys and their viral hit "Your Idol" topping charts, yes, even beating out BTS and Blackpink. The YouTube clip of their performance? Over 10 million views in just a few days, with thousands of comments in every language you can imagine. Fans are joking, "Just take my soul already!" and asking if their fan gifts should be funeral offerings. Only in K-pop could ghosts and idols blend so perfectly. K-Pop, K-Ghosts, and the Power of the Stage The real magic of 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' isn't just the catchy songs (crafted by actual K-pop hitmakers) or the razor-sharp choreography. It's how the film mashes up K-pop stardom with Korea's wildest supernatural legends. The main girl group, Huntrix, moonlights as demon hunters, using their music to keep evil spirits at bay. Their rivals, the Saja Boys, are literal demons sent by the boss-level villain Gwi-ma, who's always lurking, ready to devour the souls of their fans. The soundtrack is so good, tracks like 'Golden' and 'Soda Pop' are topping global charts, not just in the movie but in real life. It's like if your favorite anime theme song suddenly became the summer's biggest club banger. But what really hooks viewers-especially those who geek out over Korean culture-is the way the film weaves in traditional folklore. You've got dokkaebi (goblins), water ghosts, and grim reapers, all reimagined as part of the K-pop universe. Even the show-stealing tiger-magpie duo is inspired by old Joseon dynasty folk paintings. Director Maggie Kang, a Korean-Canadian, said she didn't set out to make a K-pop movie, but wanted to showcase Korean culture in a way that felt fresh and epic. She even called shaman rituals "the original concert"-music and dance used to fight off evil spirits, just like Huntrix does on stage. Shamanism, Superheroines, and the Rise of K-Occult Here's where things get even more interesting. In Korea, shamanism (musok) has always been a part of the culture, but for decades it was seen as old-fashioned or even taboo. Now, it's having a massive comeback, especially among young people. Why? Because in a world full of stress and uncertainty, stories about spirits, rituals, and healing feel more relatable than ever. And unlike the scary, doom-and-gloom Western occult movies, K-occult mixes in fantasy, action, and even romance. Think of it as supernatural with a side of heart. Recent years have seen a wave of webtoons and dramas where shamans are the main characters-often young women who double as spiritual warriors and everyday problem-solvers. Shows like "Head Over Heels" and movies like "Exhuma" have made shamanic rituals and ghost stories cool again. Even in variety shows, MZ-generation shamans are popping up, offering comfort and advice to viewers. The old image of the shaman as a tragic outcast is gone; now, they're seen as healers, guides, and sometimes even pop culture icons. From Taboo to Trend - How Korean Ghosts Became Global It wasn't always this way. Back in the day, shamans in Korean dramas were usually side characters or even villains. But thanks to artists and filmmakers who started exploring shamanism as a source of creativity and community, the image has totally flipped. Modern artists like Park Chan-kyung have made documentaries and films about legendary shamans, showing how rituals are about healing, sharing blessings, and letting go of old grudges. In a way, these rituals are like the ultimate group therapy session-something that feels surprisingly familiar if you've ever been to a big Indian festival or watched a Bollywood movie where everyone dances away their troubles. Now, with 'K-Pop Demon Hunters' breaking records on OTT and its soundtrack dominating global charts, Korean ghosts and shaman stories are no longer something to hide-they're a source of pride and inspiration. It's a wild, emotional ride that proves the best stories are the ones that mix tradition with a little bit of pop magic.
