Fans flocked to catch the final leg of Blackpink\u2019s world tour in Hong Kong, with shops reporting a boost of around 30 per cent in business from concertgoers.<\/p>\n
Kai Tak Sports Park turned into a pink-dotted sea of fans on Saturday, as attendees in matching outfits or waving the band\u2019s signature light sticks filled the venue and nearby shopping centres.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels more familiar watching [Blackpink] at home. The atmosphere here is great,\u201d 29-year-old Matt Chan said.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s show marked the first of three concerts by the South Korean girl group in Hong Kong, the final stop on their Deadline world tour that began last July.<\/p>\n
As early as Friday, the complex was already awash with the group\u2019s signature pink hue, with lights illuminating buildings while giant posters and rows of flags adorned the area.<\/p>\n
Many of Saturday\u2019s concertgoers were mainland Chinese fans who had travelled to the city to see their idols, with some saying they planned to stay a few extra days in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n
