While many fans loved seeing all these idols together, some netizens started to claim that they were all attending to fill up the “empty” seats.

So it's true Blackpink is really desperate and sends tons of invitations to celebrities when the concerts are not sold out.😭 pic.twitter.com/3lEDkOWrqn

😂 and once again we are proven right

They invited all the idols and actors to come at their concert (just like Jennie did for her solo concert) to fill those empty seats ijbol pic.twitter.com/MV1WC5zanw

BLACKPINK fans hit out at the allegations, explaining that it wasn’t due to filling empty seats as the concert had already been sold out.

"BLACKPINK invited idols to make it look full”

Sweetheart, those idols were guests. The ones who filled up Goyang Stadium? That’s ±35K/night screaming BLINKs. FRIENDSHIPS were celebrated, but FANS made it sold out. Stay pressed. 💅 pic.twitter.com/lSEdPTmvBx

Many BLACKPINK fans also hit back at the fandoms of the idols attending, explaining that artists aren’t forced to attend and that fan wars are just making it harder for fans to see their favorites interact.

do armys and onces realize that a lot of companies invite idols out of courtesy…… if an idol decided to attend blackpink's concert it's their decision only, no one put them at gun point and forced them
