TikTok ad by Visa seemingly shows Blackpink will stage concert in Singapore in November

Is Blackpink coming to our area after all? Early this year, Blinks in Southeast Asia were left disappointed after an announcement for Blackpink's upcoming Deadline tour revealed that the group would not stage any stops in the region.

However, a recent TikTok ad by digital payment company Visa might have just let slip that the quartet – comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa – will be performing two shows at Singapore's National Stadium this November.

Netizens were recently alerted to Visa's ad which showed a compilation of clips from previous concerts by Blackpink. The 30-second-long video then ended with a graphic showing the purported dates of Blackpink's upcoming concert in Singapore.

According to the graphic, Blackpink will be performing at Singapore's National Stadium on Nov 29 and 30 with Visa cardholders apparently entitled to a presale session for tickets on Jun 11.

While some fans have rightfully questioned the authenticity of the video, a quick check of the video's URL indicates that it shares the same user tag as other official Visa videos on TikTok.

At 11am on Tuesday (May 27), concert organiser Live Nation confirmed that Blackpink will indeed stage a two-night concert at Singapore's National Stadium on Nov 29 and 30.

A presale session for Blink membership holders will commence on Jun 10 and general sales will take place on Jun 13.

More details, including ticket prices, will be announced at a later date.

Blackpink's upcoming tour Deadline will kick off on Jul 5 at South Korea's Goyang Stadium. A recent video by YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk indicated that Blackpink will release a new song "soon". 

Yang, however, has stated the agency does not have "a confirmed date" for the song, leading many fans to doubt if the song will be released before the start of the Deadline tour.
