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 groups today.
Emotional twenties
Being a student myself, 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 instructions from BLINK (Blackpink's fandom name) touched me. Many people spent time chatting, confiding... during the preparation for the trip. I was meticulously reminded 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 multinational, multicultural, and multiracial BLINKs all wore a sparkling pink color with an overflowing energy. The entire stadium was covered in pink light amidst the magical dark night. I felt like my soul was 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, lyrics, and dance moves 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 cannot always easily express to previous generations.

Hearts beat as one
Soundcheck - a practice where artists test the sound before a show - is a privilege for fans when buying VIP tickets. This is also a way for fans to interact closely with the artists, so I don't regret spending money on VIP tickets. A long-time fan, Nguyen Thi Thu Ha (26 years old), could not hide her excitement when she saw her idol 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 to have many unique experiences for the audience.
I forgot to bring water to this music party. And the lovely thing is that when I asked to buy a bottle of water from a Singaporean BLINK, he gave it to me. A Filipino friend gave me her cake. It seems like there is an invisible thread connecting young people with the same passion and we connected easily and warmly.
Young people from many countries joined 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 aspirations.
