On July 4, the list of songs that Blackpink group was licensed to perform in Hanoi in July was posted on the media as well as information sites and online forums.

The number of songs is currently unclear, whether it is only 13 or will be added in the future, but many netizens expressed their frustration. They said that 13 songs is too few, compared to the performances in Thailand, Tokyo, Seoul... In Thailand, the group performed 21 songs, Tokyo had 23 songs, Korea 24 songs. In the US, the group also performed an outstanding number of songs.

In particular, the solo songs of each member of Blackpink such as Jennie's "Solo", Jisoo's "Flower"... were not on the performance list. The group's fans expressed disappointment: "This is not a concert, it's just a Vietnamese-Korean cultural exchange"; "Are they planning to perform for 1 hour and then end the night? I have never seen a show with so few songs when the group has so many songs"...

Compared to Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour", Blackpink clearly performed too few songs, with only 13 songs. Taylor Swift's solo concert, she performed 44 songs, divided into 10 parts and lasted more than 3 hours. The song list remained the same whether she performed in the US, Europe or Asia. Taylor Swift is preparing to perform in Singapore, her ticket sales time coincided with Blackpink's ticket sales time for the show in Hanoi.

In addition, the ticket prices for the Blackpink concert have also caused controversy because they are expensive compared to the number of songs and benefits for the audience. The cheapest Blackpink concert price is 1.2 million VND and the most expensive is 9.8 VND. Meanwhile, the ticket prices for the Taylor Swift show range from 1.8 million VND to the highest of 6.05 million VND.

Some netizens said that with the price and number of songs, they are not sure they will attend Blackpink's show because they do not think it is worth the price.

They were excited before, but not anymore. Others said they still want to meet the beautiful girls of the top Korean girl group. Because, they think this is a rare opportunity. The debate is still going on.
