It looks like Blinks will have to wait a bit longer to see new performances from their favorite girl group.
Blackpink announced Thursday that it has postponed its online concert for more than a month to comply with the South Korean government’s stricter regulations against COVID-19, as the country continued to see an increase in cases.
The concert, titled “The Show,” has been moved to January 31 from December 27, Jisoo said in a video posted on the group’s official Twitter page.
“In order to comply with Korean COVID-19 prevention guidelines and ensure safe performance, we have unfortunately made the decision to postpone ‘The Show,'” he said.
