BlackPink has released the concert film BlackPink world tour Born Pink in cinemas at CGV theaters in more than 110 countries, including Vietnam.

According to Box Office Vietnam, after one day of release, the film earned 1.5 billion VND with 9,504 tickets and 370 screenings. As of August 10, the film had a total revenue of more than 5 billion VND.

Concert in Hanoi appeared in the movie

Filmed on the final day of the Born Pink tour at Gocheok Sky Dome (Seoul), the film cleverly combines performances from major cities around the world to recreate the explosive energy of watching live.

The stage design was inspired by hanok tile patterns, subtly simulating traditional Korean house architecture, highlighting BlackPink's signature style.

The film is staged more like a Broadway musical than a regular concert. Every note, movement and facial expression of the artists are meticulously and vividly recorded. Notably, the Born Pink concert in Hanoi also appears in a few scenes.

Each member's solo stages show their own personality and aesthetic taste. In particular, Lisa, as a rapper, still shows her charm even when appearing on screen.

It can be said that the combination of elements, from stage design to filming, creates a rich visual experience, helping viewers not only enjoy the music but also get a real sense of the atmosphere like BlackPink's live performances.

Old script, not focused on audience

Expected to be as impressive as Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Movie and BTS: Yet to come in cinemas, but the script and staging of BlackPink's concert film are somewhat old-fashioned.

The film takes a traditional approach, focusing on capturing the performances. The audience only knows that the scene changes based on the artist's characteristics such as costumes.

On the other hand, despite the group's synchronized performances in concerts, the repetition makes the appeal not as strong as before.

If BlackPink's movie invested more in behind-the-scenes footage, it would be more interesting. Because if it stopped at the shows, it would be a loss for the audience who had seen it live before.

When watching Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, you can see that the film puts the audience first, you can hear the audience's cheers clearly but it doesn't overwhelm the singer.

Similarly, BTS: Yet to come in cinemas also moved viewers with their chemistry, sweat, tears, or arms around each other... BlackPink's film only stopped at recreating a concert, nothing more, nothing less.
