Earlier in the year, BLACKPINK announced a new world tour but it has been hit with waves of criticism and controversy.

BLACKPINK’s New Tour Post Triggers Serious Backlash And Frustration

On May 27, BLACKPINK posted a new tour poster on X, and while it seems the same as the initial one posted at the start, it showed off some additional dates in Asia towards the end of the year.

Netizens shared their anger at the post for multiple reasons, including “reused” designs, a lack of clear information about a possible comeback ahead of the tour, and how many countries have been missed off the “world tour.”

Let’s not forget that we gave BLACKPINK their highest-grossing single night show on the BORN PINK World Tour. YG skipping us now is just wild. LOL. https://t.co/pyxV1aEwKf

Yet many fans appreciated the new announcement and also the gap between the shows. They shared how tiring the last tour must have been and how glad they are that the members will have a break between shows.
