I have been a fan of the 4 girls of Blackpink for over 5 years and still dream of meeting them in real life. I couldn't ignore the call from my heart so I made a journey to the concert of one of the most famous girl idol groups today.
Emotional twenties
Being a student and lacking life experience, I initially did not have the courage to go. However, searching on social networks led me to useful opportunities. I was active in Facebook groups related to the band. The advice and guidance from BLINK (Blackpink's fandom name) touched me. Many people spent time chatting and confiding... while preparing for the trip. I was reminded meticulously from entry documents to taking care of my health to fully enjoy the event. Finally, I was present at that famous music festival... The position of holding the fence in the VIP area gave me many moments of emotional sublimation.
The multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-racial BLINKs all wore sparkling pink with an overflowing energy. The entire stadium was covered in pink in the middle of the magical dark night. I felt my soul lit up. We headed towards the main stage, happily enjoying the quintessence of Korean pop culture. Next to me, Nguyen Anh Thoa (18 years old) excitedly said: "Having a ticket in the VIP area is extremely worthy, I got to see my idol clearly. Although I was a bit tired from standing for a long time, Blackpink still made me excited." Everyone immersed themselves in every melody, lyric, and dance move of Blackpink. Many fans were moved when Blackpink expressed their gratitude to their fans. I secretly wished that day would never end. It was a strange and unforgettable feeling that we could not always easily express to previous generations.

Hearts beat as one
Soundcheck - a rehearsal activity for artists to check the sound before the show - is a privilege for fans when buying VIP tickets. This is also a form of close interaction between fans and artists, so I do not regret spending money on VIP tickets. A long-time fan, Nguyen Thi Thu Ha (26 years old), could not hide her excitement when she was able to see her idols up close, especially when the female artists enthusiastically interacted and "shot hearts" to fans. Blackpink cherishes every moment of performing for BLINK.
VIP tickets offer the opportunity for many unique experiences for the audience.
I forgot to bring water to this music party. And the lovely thing is that when I offered to buy a bottle of water from a Singaporean BLINK, he gave it to me. A Filipino friend gave me her cake. It seemed like there was an invisible thread connecting young people with the same passion and we connected easily and warmly.
Young people from many countries join in the vibrant atmosphere of the program.
The most important thing I learned after this expensive but worthwhile "idol chasing" trip is Blackpink's serious spirit in art. What they have achieved cannot be based on luck alone but also on strategy and persistent effort. I deeply understand why the girl group from the land of kimchi can break a series of records on the charts, with products that become trends in countries from Europe to Asia. I find myself more positively inspired and more loving. We have idols but we are not blindly infatuated, but look at their hard work to reach the peak of success and realize that we cannot be lazy, cannot live without ambition.
