K-pop girl group BlackPink concluded the first night of their two-day concert held this weekend in Vietnam on an upbeat note, rousing tens of thousands of Blinks, the official fandom name for BlackPink, at the Hanoi-based My Dinh National Stadium to fever pitch.
The four-member girl band kicked off the show, entitled Born Pink World Tour Hanoi, at 7:45 pm on Saturday with their captivating hits and dances.
These Korean idols also touched the heart of their Vietnamese fans by saying 'Mình yêu các bạn' (We love you) and danced to Vietnamese pop star Hoang Thuy Linh’s See Tình.

Unlike rumours prior to the show, the Born Pink World Tour Hanoi on Saturday night treated Blinks to a feast of solo performances by all of the four members. For instance, Jisoo performed Flower, Jennie sang You and Me and Solo, Rosé with Hard to Love and On the Ground, and Lisa with Money.
After their solo performances, they gave a superb gig of Shut Down.
BlackPink continued to heat up the already-hot show with the catchy beats of Pink Venom.
While performing Don't Know What To Do, the four members interacted with their fans by doing a series of adorable actions such as creating heart signs.
