The message delivered by the group BLACKPINK after the Macau concert was followed by criticism from some Chinese netizens .
Recently, BLACKPINK's official social media account said, "We were deeply touched by Macau BLINK (fandom name) this week. "Thank you for your sincere support," they wrote in English. Earlier, BLACKPINK completed its world tour ‘Born Pink’ performance in Macau on May 20 and 21.
However, when the post was released, some Chinese Internet users reacted negatively, leaving comments such as "Why is it not China's BLINK, but Macau's BLINK", "Macao, Hong Kong, and Taiwan belong to China", and "China does not welcome BLACKPINK".
Recently, as relations between Korea and China have deteriorated, Korean celebrities' appearances on Chinese entertainment programs have been suddenly canceled, creating an anti-Korean atmosphere. As a result, some Chinese netizens shared a list of celebrities who visited BLACKPINK concerts, including singer Cheng Xiao and actress Angela Baby, leaving criticism comments as a group.
