Looking ahead, BLACKPINK's multi-city concert tour is set to begin on July 5, 2025, in Goyang, South Korea, and will span major cities in Asia, Europe, and North America throughout 2026.

BLACKPINK's Lisa and Jennie made their solo debuts at Coachella, performing on April 13 and 15, 2025, respectively, marking a significant milestone in their careers.

Their performances at Coachella highlight the globalization of music, reaffirming K-pop's mainstream success in the U.S., especially since BLACKPINK was the first female-led K-pop group to perform at the festival in 2019.

During her set, Jennie performed songs from her 2023 album 'Ruby,' featuring a surprise appearance by Kali Uchis, while also pursuing an acting career with a role in the Max series 'The Idol.'

Lisa showcased her hit track 'MONEY' from her debut solo album 'Alter Ego,' released in 2025, which includes collaborations with artists like Raye and Megan Thee Stallion.

Despite the excitement, both performances faced accusations of lip-syncing, which fans have defended by pointing out the use of backing vocals.

Some fans noted that Jennie's performance featured a loud backtrack, leading to mixed perceptions of her vocals as a blend of live singing and backing tracks.

Neither Jennie nor Lisa has publicly addressed the lip-syncing allegations, which have sparked a broader discussion about the acceptability of lip-syncing at Coachella.

While Coachella does not officially prohibit lip-syncing, the festival is known for its live music emphasis, making full lip-syncing rare and often criticized.

Artists frequently use backing tracks to support their live vocals, particularly during performances that involve significant choreography.

The debate surrounding viewership statistics for BLACKPINK's performances continues, with fans defending their popularity against comparisons to Beyoncé's historical viewership.

Amidst the criticism, Lady Gaga's past remarks about live performances have resurfaced, coinciding with the scrutiny faced by BLACKPINK.
