BLACKPINK's 'Deadline' tour leads to fan scams
BLACKPINK's much-hyped Deadline tour is running into trouble before it even starts—fans are getting scammed while trying to buy tickets.
One Hong Kong fan lost HK$4900 (about $624) through a fake seller on the Threads app, sparking worries about more ticket fraud as demand surges for their concert tour, which begins in July 2025 and concludes in January 2026.
Over 200 reports of online shopping scams
Hong Kong police have already received over 200 reports of online shopping scams lately.
They're urging everyone to be extra careful when buying passes for big events like BLACKPINK's reunion concert on January 25, 2026—their first in Hong Kong after two years apart.
The group's Deadline tour will also take them across Asia, Europe, and North America, with fans everywhere hoping for new music and unforgettable performances.
