[Reporter Xu Lijuan/Kaohsiung Report] The Korean girl group BLACKPINK is blowing a pink whirlwind in Kaohsiung today (18th). Although a total of 90,000 tickets were sold out in a flash when they went on sale in 2 days, there are still many tickets that cannot be bought tonight. Die-hard fans who got tickets still went to "listen" to the concert outside the main venue of the Kaohsiung World Games. In addition, the food stalls on the side were open from day to night, making the outside of the venue as lively as a night market.

BLACKPINK’s Kaohsiung concert started at 7:00 p.m. Many fans who couldn’t get tickets and couldn’t enter the venue still didn’t give up. In addition to queuing up to buy peripheral products and taking pictures outside the concert, they also went to the periphery of the venue early to “occupy a seat”. You can't see BLACKPINK and the stage effects on the stage, but you can still feel the atmosphere "by listening" outside the stage.

Ms. Huang, a fan, said that although she couldn’t enter the venue, she must come. She and her friends brought their own picnic mats to eat and drink outside the venue and listen to the music and singing from inside. I was exhausted. Not only did I have to queue for hours to buy products, but there were also long queues for taking photos and going to the toilet. I also worried that it would be very hard to get on the MRT after the show.

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai also went to the main venue of the World Games in the evening to care about the crowd and evacuation issues. He suggested that fans after the show can take the free shuttle bus to Xinzuoying Station and then transfer. The service time of the special bus is from 9:30 to 11:30 tonight; Tomorrow night is 8:30pm to 10:00pm.
