After 9 months, their solo private stage in Seoul for the first time had encountered ticket sales problems. This event will be held in the Olympic Park Olympic Hall on September 21st at 1 PM and 6 PM KST. The event has been announced via BLACKPINK's Youtube channel.

According to Korean netizens, they noticed that there are a lot of empty seats in the Olympic Hall, which has a capacity of 2,432.

Some Korean netizens have comments regarding the hundreds of tickets still being sold.

Look at the number of tickets outstanding... Crazy, it's been a while since the ticketing started though.

Considering that a number of groups can sell out the same venue, this has been a cause of concern for many people. Some believed that the lack of ticket sales has been due to the poor connection between BLACKPINK and their fans.

A commenter said, "Look at the number of tickets outstanding... Crazy, it's been a while since the ticketing started though."

A girl group's primary prerequisite is to expand their fandom and members should build a good rapport with their supporters. Some fans said that they fangirled BLACKPINK but there was no deep connection built between them. They said that the company only pushes Jennie and the rest of the members-only follow her. Jennie seems to enjoy all the attention and being on top.

Another possible reason is BLACKPINK's short track list.

One netizen said that the group has been promoting for several years but they only have 10 songs. Can they pull off a concert with that? This was not intended to be a hate comment but I just want to know.

According to Antis, BLACKPINK is a very popular K-Pop girl group, however, they lack fans as a whole.

A commenter said that they are recognized by the general public but their core is not strong enough.

Many, on the other hand, were defending BLACKPINK, pointing out that the event was not a concert but a private stage.

There were also netizens who defended BLACKPINK. They explained that the event was only a private stage and not a concert.

A Korean netizen said that they should not do comparisons with other concert records because BLACKPINK's songs are good.
