BLACKPINK proved their sisterly bond remains as strong as ever — both on and off stage — during their tour stop in Taiwan.

On Oct. 23, Lisa shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the group’s concert in Kaohsiung, captioned, “Kick-off in Asia with Kaohsiung Blinks.” The post quickly went viral, delighting fans who praised the group’s warmth and visual chemistry.

In the photos, Lisa and Jisoo wore cropped leather tops and shorts that highlighted their chic stage charisma. Holding wide-brimmed hats and posing together, the two channeled a playful Western vibe that caught fans’ attention across social media.

Additional images revealed a heartwarming backstage moment between Lisa and Rosé. The two stood close together, with Rosé resting her head on Lisa’s shoulder and wrapping her arm around Lisa’s waist, a gesture that symbolized BLACKPINK’s enduring friendship even after years of global touring.

The final shot captured all four members — Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé and Jennie — embracing tightly onstage as the crowd filled the arena. The touching image, surrounded by glowing lights and cheering fans, underscored the group’s deep connection and emotional gratitude toward their supporters.

As BLACKPINK continues the Asia segment of their world tour, fans worldwide are celebrating not just their performances but also their genuine bond — a warmth that keeps Blinks united wherever the group goes.
