28 November, Singapore — The night will stay with me for a very long time. The first day of BLACKPINK’s Singapore concert wasn’t just an event; it felt like being part of a global celebration, a reunion, and a dream come true for thousands of BLINKs. As someone who has attended concerts before, I thought I knew what to expect. But from the moment I joined the crowd outside the venue, I realised this night would be something special. Mi + Wife + 2 daughters made our way through the crowd. It was electrifying despite there is a slight drizzle.
The Pre-Concert Atmosphere: A Sea of Pink Lightsticks
I reached the venue at around 5pm, planning to take a slow walk, grab a drink and enjoy the evening. But the moment I stepped out of the MRT station, I was immediately greeted by a familiar sight: oceans of pink lightsticks, official BLACKPINK merchandise, and fans dressed in everything from concert tees to full-on glam fashion inspired by Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo.
The energy was unbelievable. Fans from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, and even Australia were chatting, taking photos, swapping photocards, and shouting BLACKPINK songs. It felt like the whole area had transformed into a cheerful, buzzing festival ground. Even before entering the stadium, you could already sense the excitement.
We were seated at the corner of CAT 10 seats.
The Opening: When the Lights Went Out
At around 7.30pm, everyone took their seats. The screens began flashing countdown visuals, and the entire stadium roared in anticipation. The moment the lights went out, the crowd erupted so loudly that I felt the vibration through my chest.
Then suddenly—BOOM! The opening graphics lit up the screen.
And when the music kicked in and the four silhouettes appeared, the stadium lost its mind. BLACKPINK stepped onto the stage with “How You Like That,” and from the very first beat, the entire place turned electric. Their energy was so powerful, it felt like the whole arena was shaking.
Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa — Each One Shining in Their Own Way
One of the best parts of seeing BLACKPINK live is realising just how distinct each member is. You don’t just hear their personalities—you feel them.
Jisoo looked absolutely stunning, glowing under the lights like a calm, confident queen. She hit every note with her smooth, steady voice, and when she smiled at fans, the stadium melted.
Jennie was fire from start to finish—sharp, fierce, and stylish as always. Her stage presence is magnetic. Every time the camera zoomed in on her, the crowd screamed like it was the first time seeing her.
Rosé brought the emotion. Her vocals cut through the noise so beautifully that even during loud moments, you could hear her clearly. When she performed her solo part, the stadium fell silent, almost in awe.
And Lisa—the dancing machine—absolutely dominated the stage. Her moves were so clean and powerful, she commanded attention every second. Her rap sections brought the audience to its loudest peak.
Together, they were flawless. The teamwork, the choreography, the charisma—everything was perfectly synced.
The Performances That Stole the Night
The setlist was packed with fan favourites. Songs like “Kill This Love,” “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” “Pink Venom,” “Pretty Savage,” and “BOOMBAYAH” sent the crowd into a frenzy. The fan chants were so loud that at times they almost matched the volume of the speakers.
But for me, there were a few moments that stood out:
-
“Lovesick Girls”—the entire stadium sang along, creating a chorus of thousands of voices. It was magical.
-
Rosé’s solo stage—she poured so much emotion into her performance that the atmosphere softened instantly.
-
Jennie’s solo—the confidence and attitude she brought to the stage made the whole venue erupt.
-
Lisa’s dance break—I don’t think anyone blinked during those seconds. Her precision and power are unreal.
-
Jisoo’s warm interactions—she waved and smiled at fans so sincerely that it felt personal.
The Fans: Singapore BLINKs Showed Their Love
One thing I always appreciate about concerts in Singapore is how passionate and well-behaved the crowd is. Last night was no exception. The fan chants were on point, the energy was high, and the respect was present throughout.
At certain moments, the girls paused to admire the audience. Rosé even said Singapore always feels like home because of how warmly they are welcomed. The members laughed, joked, and interacted with fans, creating moments that felt intimate despite being in a giant venue.
The Finale: A Pink Night to Remember
As the show approached its end, BLACKPINK performed “Forever Young,” their perfect finale song. Confetti rained down, the lights shined bright pink, and thousands of fans sang together like one huge family.
When the four members stood together at the edge of the stage, waving goodbye, blowing kisses, and thanking everyone, you could feel the emotional weight in the air. Some fans around me were teary-eyed. And I can’t blame them—BLACKPINK has a way of turning a concert into an unforgettable memory.
Closing Thoughts
The first day of BLACKPINK’s Singapore concert on 28 November was nothing short of spectacular. The group delivered everything fans hoped for—powerful performances, stunning visuals, genuine interactions, and a night of joy and unity.
Walking out of the venue, surrounded again by pink lights and smiling faces, I felt grateful. Nights like this remind us why music matters. It brings people together. It creates memories. And for many BLINKs in Singapore, this was a night we will keep close to our hearts for a long, long time.
