The two-hour show has five acts, each with a specially filmed video that would play during the intermissions. In the first and second acts, you'll be treated to some of their hit songs from The Album and Born Pink, from the unapologetically confident tune How You Like That to the empowering Kill This Love and Pretty Savage, before taking it down a notch with Lovesick Girls and then bringing the energy up again with Pink Venom. Coupled with powerful choreography, it's going to be a feast for both your ears and your eyes.

Come act three, each member will showcase their individuality with solo performances:

Jisoo: A flawless cover of Camila Cabello's Liar

Jennie: Unreleased track You & I (Moonlight) in a Tinker Bell-like outfit

Rose: Hard to Love and the EDM-inspired On the Ground

Lisa: Hip-hop banger Money and the VMA award-winning track Lalisa

These solos allow each member to shine, from Jisoo's visuals to Jennie's 'triple threat' of vocal, rap, and dance, to Rose's powerhouse vocals, and Lisa's intense dance moves.

The lights will go down after Shut Down, Typa Girl, Ddu-du Ddu-du, and Forever Young, and you'll spend a few minutes in the darkness in what appears to be the end of the concert, but Blackpink won't leave without saying a 'proper' goodbye. The girls will rock back up onstage to perform their 2016 chart-topping debut song, Boombayah, before wrapping up with As If It's Your Last, a nostalgic encore and an ode to the Blinks who have been with them since day one.

Blackpink's 'Born Pink World Tour' is scheduled for March 4 at National Stadium Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur; March 25 and 26 at Philippine Arena, Manila (Bulacan); and May 13 and 14 at National Stadium, Singapore.
