I’m watching everything," and Ros? expressed, "I’m so happy that many people came to support us until the last performance.

Jennie said, "The concert is coming to an end. Unlike before, my heart feels touched every time the stage ends," emphasizing, "Since this is the day to wrap up the year, I hope everyone enjoys it until the very end."


BLACKPINK then closed their world tour performance with ‘Tally,’ ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU,’ and ‘Forever Young.’

After the concert, the BLACKPINK members shared their thoughts on completing the world tour. Jisoo said, “We started our concert in Seoul exactly one year ago at this time, and I’m happy we could finish the finale concert here. I’m thankful to BLINKs who made it possible to end with such good memories, and many thoughts came to me during today’s performance. I’m glad no one got sick and we could finish the tour healthily. Everyone worked so hard. Thank you.”

Ros? said, "It feels like just yesterday that Jennie unnie was crying during the concert, but it’s already been several years. It’s really amazing. Although it’s the last, it feels like it will last forever. I’m truly happy."


Lisa said, “I wrote down what I wanted to say to BLINKs on my phone so I wouldn’t forget,” and added, “This tour was possible because of BLINKs, allowing us to perform at such amazing venues. Without BLINKs, we couldn’t have done it. Thank you so much for always supporting us until the end and enjoying it with us. I love BLINKs who gave me such a wonderful experience and thank you for lighting up my twenties.”


Finally, Jennie said, “I want to say thank you to our members for their hard work. It’s been a really eventful year. I think we were able to come this far because the four of us stayed healthy and supported each other,” then continued, “This year marks our 7th anniversary since debut. Looking back on that time, I wanted to show a cool and good image, but I couldn’t meet many BLINKs in Korea, so I really wanted to hold the encore finale in Seoul. I’m so happy and grateful that it came true. We will continue to be an amazing BLACKPINK,” concluding her remarks.



Earlier, BLACKPINK, who celebrated their 7th anniversary last month, held this concert amid ongoing contract renewal discussions with YG Entertainment, drawing attention to whether the members would mention the renewal on site. Amid rumors about Lisa’s contract renewal not going through, all eyes were on whether they would address it, but BLACKPINK ended their final world tour performance without making any direct remarks about the contract renewal.
