This has led to a frenzy of streaming and sold-out stadiums! BLACKPINK: The Deadline World Tour Finale The Dojeon team is so excited for this comeback! Taking back the reins after focusing on their solo activities. Set to take over Tokyo Dome and Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium this January, these final shows are expected to feature a special guest and setlist, as well as including some of the members own record-breaking 2025 solo hits like Rosé's "APT." and Lisa's "Rockstar " !

The news has sparked a frenzy online with fans speculating about what their new music will be like! Solidifying K-Pop’s "Golden Era" With the rise of K-pop and K-culture in more and more countries each year, there is no doubt that this is the 'golden era' when it comes to K-pop. Actually, the immense global demand for BLACKPINK's finale and EXO’s reunion is proving that the 3rd generation of K-pop remains the primary driver of international K-pop interest. The revenue that they both generate for themselves, their label, and the cities in which they perform is simply phenomenal. Can these veteran groups maintain their peak popularity even a decade after their debuts? Fandom Pride and "Streaming Wars" Global fan bases are celebrating the longevity of their favorites, using the #3rdGenLegends hashtag to highlight the groups' vocal and performance stability against newer rookies, which we have also written about recently. While some fans have actively been engaging in "streaming wars" to secure chart dominance for their favorite artists, many older fans are simply enjoying the nostalgia of seeing both powerhouses active at the same time, and this is the case with the Dojeon team. Which group do you think will regain its reign in the fierce battle of the top two girl K-pop bands?
