"Only thing saving YG from their flop era" — Fans react as BLACKPINK's tour announcement skyrockets YG Entertainment's stock value by 115%

On March 1, 2025, the media outlet @TheePopCore reported that BLACKPINK's world tour announcement boosted the stock price of YG Entertainment by 115%. Stocks surged to a price of 57,553.84 KRW ($40.30), a 12% increase after a long declining trend.

The group announced their world tour via a teaser on February 6, 2025. The four-member band, comprising Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé, is ready to set out on a second world tour after their 2023 Born Pink tour.

The 2025 tour will kick off in early July with two concerts in South Korea, followed by performances in various U.S. cities before culminating at Wembley Stadium in London.

Prior concerns regarding the downward movement of share prices were linked to the earlier uncertainty surrounding the group's contracts. In December 2023, YG Entertainment confirmed that all four members renewed their contracts for group activities but terminated their solo deals.

The global fanbase, known as BLINKs, reacted overwhelmingly to the tour announcement.

"Only thing saving yg from their flop era..."

Fans stressed that the Pink Venom group is "the pillar of that company."

"There is no doubt that Blackpink is the pillar of that company," a fan wrote.

"The company is nothing without them omg," another fan wrote.

"Cause we all know right now blackpink is YG's backbone..." another fan added.

Others highlighted that the girl group has "saved" YG Entertainment repeatedly.

"How many times Blackpink will save YG. Bigbang laid a pathway but Blackpink turn it into a highway," a fan commented.

"Blackpink and yg relationship has to be the most interesting I've ever seen in the industry because how can a company make you feel so used but so powerful at the same time. So I'm more than happy at least yg won't see a cent from their individual careers," another fan wrote.

"YG must be happy they can keep the lights on," another fan added.
