Last night was one of those rare moments in life when everything simply felt perfect. On November 28, our family of four—myself, Enya, Leya, and little Yuli—finally attended the long-awaited BLACKPINK concert in Singapore. I’ve been to many shows before, but nothing prepared me for the energy, colour, and pure joy that filled the stadium the moment the lights dimmed and the iconic “BLACKPINK in your area!” echoed through the air.
For us, this wasn’t just a concert. It was a shared family memory that I know we’ll talk about for years.
Our Favourite Members, Our Family Style
Each of us came with our own bias.
As for me, I’ve always been a Lisa fan. There’s just something magnetic about her—the sharp dance moves, the confidence, the playful attitude. When she appeared on stage for “Money,” it felt like the entire stadium shook from the cheers. I found myself yelling louder than my daughters, which earned me a few amused looks from Enya.
Speaking of Enya, she came fully prepared—Jennie T-shirt, Jennie lightstick charm, Jennie phone wallpaper. She loves Jennie’s stylish edge and cool confidence. When Jennie performed “You & Me,” Enya’s face lit up like it was Christmas Day. She sang along word for word, and for that moment, she was simply a happy fan enjoying her idol.
Leya, our older girl, loves Jisoo. She says Jisoo reminds her of “a warm big sister,” and honestly, I can see why. When Jisoo performed “Flower,” Leya swayed along, completely mesmerized. It was sweet watching her quietly smile, soaking in the moment like a dream come true.
And then there’s Yuli, my wife, who is fiercely loyal to Rosé. When Rosé stepped forward with her emotional solo, The way Rosé’s voice filled the stadium during “APT” even got me emotional. Yuli actually teared up a little—and I don’t blame her. Rosé has that effect.
The Personalities Behind the Superstars
Though the group dazzled the night away as one, each of the four members showed their unique charm:
Lisa – A global superstar with unstoppable energy. She danced like her body was made of pure rhythm. Sharp, bold, and effortlessly cool—she dominated the stage each time she appeared.
Jennie – The trendsetter. Stylish, fierce, and confident, she carried herself with a mix of elegance and swagger that’s hard to ignore. Her charisma alone could fill the entire arena.
Jisoo – Graceful and warm. She radiated a calm, comforting energy and interacted lovingly with the crowd. Watching her felt like being wrapped in a gentle, joyful presence.
Rosé – Emotional and soulful. The moment she sang, the stadium softened. Her voice carried raw feeling, touching even those who didn’t know every lyric.
A Family Experience We’ll Never Forget
One of the best parts of the night wasn’t just the performance—it was seeing my family immersed in something they genuinely love. The way the crowd waved pink lights, the fireworks bursting during “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” the deafening sing-alongs during “As If It’s Your Last”—it all came together to create a memory that felt bigger than just a concert.
When the night ended, and the confetti slowly drifted down, we held hands and made our way out with sore throats, tired feet, and full hearts.
Moments like these remind me why family experiences matter so much. It wasn’t just BLACKPINK “in your area”—it was BLACKPINK in our hearts.
