Blinks worldwide are puzzled by BLACKPINK’s Vietnam concert setlist, which includes only 13 songs.
The concert, which is part of the group’s BORN PINK world tour, is set to take place at Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium from July 29-30, 2023, and is expected to attract over 40,000 fans from around the region.
However, yesterday the official setlist for the concert was posted on the official Vietnamese government Facebook page … Showing the group were only slated to perform 13 songs. The photos were deleted shortly after, but not before Blinks had downloaded and shared them.
Among the songs on the list are the group’s mega-hit DDU-DU DDU-DU and songs from the Born Pink album like Shut Down and Typa Girl.
However, Blinks Online immediately began voicing their concerns over the number of songs. They pointed out that a number of the group’s biggest hits were missing, including the tour’s title theme, Pink Venom.
Others also pointed out that with so few songs, fans attending the Hanoi performance might feel shortchanged. Especially considering the high ticket prices of around 10 million Vietnamese dong, or around US$421 each.
Many speculated that the reason for the choice of songs could be due to concert organizers having to adhere to the government’s rules for performing artists, especially considering the more conservative culture in Vietnam.
There has been an update to the story above:
