Girl group BLACKPINK successfully concluded the final show of their world tour in Europe. On the 22nd (local time), they held the 'BORN PINK' concert at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The diverse program captivated the local audience with a relay of the team's representative hit songs as well as solo stages by Jisoo, Jennie, Ros?, and Lisa.
At the end of the concert, BLACKPINK took time to reflect on their journey. The members said, "Tonight is the last night of the European tour. There couldn't be a more perfect ending than this," and added, "We have created another brilliant memory. We sincerely love you." They continued, "Words like 'happy' cannot fully express how we feel. We want to thank all the staff who worked hard with us throughout the two-month-long North American and European tour, as well as our fans who supported us the entire time. Thanks to you, we were able to share unforgettable moments in wonderful venues. We are grateful," bowing their heads in appreciation.
