Girl group BLACKPINK (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa) is facing criticism from Vietnamese fans. According to an exclusive report by Star News on July 4th, the setlist for BLACKPINK's 'BORN PINK' world tour concert in Vietnam has been leaked.

BLACKPINK is set to hold their 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]' concert in Vietnam at the My Dinh National Stadium, Hanoi, on the 29th and 30th of the month. The My Dinh National Stadium is the largest performance venue in the country, capable of accommodating more than 40,000 spectators, and BLACKPINK will be the first K-pop girl group to perform there, further solidifying their strong presence as global artists.

However, with the leakage of the setlist for BLACKPINK's Vietnam concert, the response from local K-pop fans has taken a 180-degree turn. Despite the high ticket price of about 10 million dong (approximately $470), fans are expressing disbelief and discontent at the inclusion of only 14 songs. Moreover, the absence of any solo songs from the members and the difference in the setlist from their recent Thailand concert has only fueled the criticism towards BLACKPINK.

Previously, in May, BLACKPINK faced harsh comments from Thai fans as well. Some fans had filed complaints with the consumer protection agency, citing that the ticket prices for K-pop stars' concerts in Thailand were too expensive.

In fact, this year, the average price of K-pop concert tickets sold in Thailand is known to have increased by 17.9% compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, with the VIP ticket price for BLACKPINK's Thai concert reported to be 14,800 baht (approximately $570), Thai K-pop fans are expressing their anger.

Despite this, it's still a challenge to secure tickets for BLACKPINK's concert. According to local sources in Vietnam, some fans are already scrambling to get tickets, even though ticketing has not yet begun.

Back in March, the tickets for BLACKPINK's Taiwan concert were priced at approximately $320, but the resold ticket prices skyrocketed to about $14,600, approximately 45 times the original price, sparking controversy.
