Celebrating unity, icons, and earth‑shaking star power, the Deadline Tour isn’t just BLACKPINK, it’s a movement.


K‑pop powerhouse BLACKPINK has ignited the stage with the opening dates of their Deadline World Tour, which kicked off July 5 at Gaoyang Stadium in Seoul. The tour, spanning 31 stadiums across Asia, North America, and Europe through January 2026, launches with record-breaking energy.

Seoul’s Week 1 shows (July 5–6) were more than epic performances—they were a celebrity reunion. K‑pop luminaries took center seats: BTS’s J‑Hope reportedly shook the stadium like an "earthquake" upon arrival. TWICE’s Nayeon & Jihyo, Red Velvet’s Irene & Seulgi, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, The8 & Jeonghan, LE SSERAFIM, i‑dle’s Minnie, and BABYMONSTER also made the list of surprises. On the acting front, stars like Lee Min-Ho, Jung Hae‑in, Hyeri, Jung Ho‑yeon, and the Snowdrop cast were spotted cheering on their peers 

Fans on X/Twitter flooded timelines with emojis and elation:

“It felt like an earthquake when J‑Hope entered.” 
“MINGYU 5TH BLACKPINK MEMBER” 

The presence of industry icons sparked a lovefest—not just for BLACKPINK’s polished setlist and explosive stage presence, but for K‑pop unity at its finest. Some fan debate swirled, sharing that the star-studded audience may have sparked jealousy or speculation, yet the prevailing sentiment praised shared fandom and camaraderie.


The fan reaction? A raucous, emotional wave of excitement—live encore vocals, synced light sticks, and priceless celeb cameos fueled a sense that this tour transcends music: it's a cultural celebration and a high‑voltage affirmation of global fandom power.
