On the evening of July 5, the first night at Goyang Stadium, the opening of BlackPink's world tour, BlackPink's Deadline World Tour, was a great success.

Notably, on the first day, BlackPink "played big" when performing Jump - the group's unreleased song. Immediately, the video of the stage climbing quickly climbed to the top of searches and exploded on social networks.

BlackPink colors lost in Jump?

Although it was announced in advance, as soon as the first melody of Jump sounded, fans exploded. Because, it took nearly two years for the audience to see the four members of BlackPink appear together, and it was also the same number of years for the members to harmonize in a new song.

However, contrary to the expectations of global fans, the reaction from Korean audiences was not very positive. Many expressed disappointment, saying that Jump was not worthy of BlackPink's current position.

"Is this BlackPink?", "The song lacks highlights, the hook is too monotonous"; "Where is the usual classy quality?"; "Who would dare give BlackPink a song like this? It's terrible!"; "Is this how they treat each other if they don't renew their contract? It sounds like promotional music at the supermarket!"; "Maybe YG is saving all the good songs for the new group... - some comments from the audience.

According to Sohu, Jump has strong electronic colors, fast tempo, continuously repeating chorus with simpler sound than previous hits like Pink Venom or Kill This Love .

Therefore, it is understandable that the song is criticized as lacking points and not giving the "valuable" feeling like previous hits.

In contrast to the backlash from Korean netizens, international fans have been more positive. On X, TikTok and Instagram, a series of fancam videos of Jump's performance quickly reached millions of views.

International audiences expressed their excitement at the explosive energy of the stage, powerful choreography, and top-notch charisma of all four members, predicting that this could be a super hit of the summer.

In addition, many people are still holding a wait-and-see attitude amid the controversy. Jump has only been performed live and has not yet released an official studio version. This makes fans hope that the complete audio version can "turn the tables".

Because in the past, BlackPink was suspected many times with songs like Ice Cream or Typa Girl , but in the end they became addictive hits, topping global charts.

During the fan interaction, Jennie confirmed that the official version of Jump will be released next week but did not reveal the exact time.

BlackPink Deadline World Tour marks BlackPink's return since the Born Pink tour ended in September 2023.

The tour will last a total of 31 shows in 16 major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris, London, Bangkok, Jakarta, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong... bringing BlackPink to once again conquer big stages from Asia to Europe.

In particular, this tour is also combined with an anti-ticket speculation campaign initiated by the Korean Popular Music Performance Industry Association.

This comes from the fact that BlackPink's concert tickets were once pushed up to more than 45 times the price in Taiwan, equivalent to about 1,732,000 won, showing the group's level of enthusiasm and huge influence around the world.
