Some fans felt excited about the announcement, while others said that the one-day concert is not enough to accommodate the massive number of Blackpink fans or “Blinks” in the country.
“One-day concert isn’t enough for Manila concert, don’t underestimate the number of @BLACKPINK Filipino fans. They’re the Nation’s Girl Group here lmao,” a Twitter user wrote.
An online user also reshared a video of Filipinos who sang along to Blackpink’s “Kill This Love” during the campaign rally of then-presidential candidate Leni Robredo and vice presidential candidate Kiko Pangilinan.
