In Japan, BABYMONSTER’s first fan meeting and Asia tour kickstarted with a memorable performance, including a cover of BLACKPINK’s “As If It’s Your Last.” Despite technical glitches, BABYMONSTER’s quick recovery and live rendition impressed fans, prompting nostalgia for BLACKPINK’s past performances.
Netizens and BLINKs, BLACKPINK’s fandom, have reignited discussions about the group’s iconic moments and expressed yearnings for their reunion. Jisoo, BLACKPINK’s eldest member, contributed to this sentiment by sharing an Instagram story promoting a collaboration game featuring all four members, evoking emotional responses from fans.
While fans hope for a BLACKPINK reunion, each member is actively pursuing solo ventures. Jisoo remains busy with filming commitments, Jennie is preparing for her solo album following recent collaborations, Lisa is engaged in filming for “The White Lotus” and preparing for her solo album, and Rosé has hinted at upcoming solo projects.
Given the members’ individual activities, a full-team comeback may not materialize until 2025. Despite this, the anticipation for BLACKPINK’s collective endeavours remains high among fans, who eagerly await updates while celebrating BABYMONSTER’s promising debut in the K-pop industry.
