First online performance'The Show'... Focus on music and performance over advanced effects
Four members of Black Pink walked out on the stage filled with water, leaving the burning flame behind. As they performed a group dance with the dancers to the hit song's-Ddu-du-du', the stage filled with a splash, reminiscent of a feast of water and fire.
The four members of Jenny, Jisoo, Rose, and Lisa warmed up the stage with intense performances as if they became "fish that met water" and as a hot fire ("It's hot, it's like fire").
The live band's vivid sound harmonized to stimulate sight and hearing. The members' professed "There is a splendid and special stage that will surprise you" is probably what they said about this stage.
The stage of'Ddu-du-du-du' is the climax of the SHOW', a live stream concert held by BLACKPINK on the 31st. Black Pink's first paid online performance,' The Show', made an effort to revive the essential beauty and excitement of offline concerts online.
Most of the K-pop industry, which had to choose online concerts as an alternative to the pandemic era, has focused on maximizing the advantages of digital. It showcased things that could not be seen offline using advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
However, for the Black Pink performance on this day, we chose to make use of the sense of reality by focusing on music and performance without cutting-edge technology.
The band team'THE BAND SIX', who had been on the world tour, joined the stage and gave a rich arrangement, and the sound was also focused on delivering the members' lives. It is also a characteristic of YG Entertainment's performances to compete with the sound of a live band.
The members showed about 20 songs including group songs and solo songs for about an hour and 30 minutes.
In particular, it was the first time to reveal the stage of some of the songs included in the first regular album' ALBUM' released in October last year to fans. 'The Album' became the first K-pop girl group to become a million-seller, becoming a bridgehead for them to leap into a global girl group.
They opened the door with songs that emphasized charisma, such as'Kill This Love', 'Crazy Over You', and how You Like That'.
Lisa said, "I've been waiting so long for today," and Rosé cheered, "Let's sing and dance with us today, whether you're on the sofa, in bed, or even on your way to work."
Starting from don't No What To Do', when the trend shifted to exciting songs such as playing with Fire' and love Girl', the members each appeared in the cave-shaped set and then walked out in front of the standing microphone to raise the atmosphere.
The solo stage was also varied. Rosé released the solo album subtitle song'GONE', which will be released soon, for the first time on this day, attracting the attention of fans. It is a lyrical ballad song that maximizes Rosé's distinctive grim tone.
Jisoo changed Tobro's'Habits' into Korean lyrics, creating an alluring atmosphere, and Lisa showed a stage dominance reminiscent of a pop star with Doja Cat's'Seiso'.
Jenny's'Solo' remix stage, which newly arranged the rap part and dance break, showed outstanding oriental stage direction.
The stage set also focused on analog production. YG Entertainment has described this as a kind of reverse idea'.
Three main sets were prepared, and the stages were converted to different atmospheres, but the members predicted that "the installations that are precisely described so that even the fragments of the stairs in the ruined city are attached are impressive."
The song'Sour Candy' in collaboration with Lady Gaga attracted attention with a set that seemed to be surrounded by a mirror. In the second half of hit songs familiar to the public, such as whistle', 'Like the Last', and'Bombaya', the light background of the city raised the atmosphere.
The last song forever Young' filled the stage with messages from fans. By showing the process of making the messages of the fans into sculptures, he emphasized 'analog'.
Jisoo said, "I hope you receive a lot of energy and good energy while watching this performance." "We seem to receive a lot of comfort and energy through this performance. We are also four people who love the stage," Rosé said with strength.
The video of the four members recalling the memories of the past performance at the empty gymnastics stadium added to the fans' longing.
Jenny said, "I think I can do (performance) again, and at the same time, I think that I should prepare a new song as soon as they are ready...
The performance was broadcast live on YouTube through a partnership with YouTube Music. It is the first time that YouTube has live-streamed a solo concert by a specific singer through a partnership
Jenny's'Solo' remix, which newly arranged the rap part and dance break, showed an oriental stage direction.
The stage set was also made as analog as possible through physical implementation. The agency explained that it is an adverse idea' of an online concert that allows you to pour your energy into a single venue rather than a tour that requires you to move around the city.
The three main sets have been converted into 10 stages with different atmospheres, but the members predicted that "they are depicted precisely enough that even the fragments of the stairs in the ruined city are attached."
