MANILA – "Blackpink is the revolution," a voice suddenly said towards the end of "Forever Young." The song then goes from a lively dance hall track to songs that accumulate before turning into party music that brings back the festive mood.
With their glow sticks – hammer-shaped toys with a bright pink heart – Filipino fans of "Blinks" or Blackpink also said "Blackpink is the revolution" at the South Korean girl group's first concert. in the Philippines, Saturday night.
It was appropriate for Blackpink to open the show with "Forever Young", alongside his recent single "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du". Both songs have sparked the relentless energy of thousands of Blinks who have invaded the Asia Arena Mall.
For two hours, Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa sang and danced while the fans screamed and waved their glow sticks, creating a beautiful ocean of pink hearts.

The quartet also played their singles "Whistle", "Stay", "Playing with Fire", "Boombayah" and "As if it was your last." They also sang "See U Later" and "Really" (which received a reggae remix), which are B-sides of their first Korean feature film "Square Up".
With very few songs under her belt, Blackpink managed to extend the show for a good two hours, thanks to dance numbers, covers and even a performance of "Kiss and Make Up", the band's collaboration with the singer English Dua Lipa.
Each member has also been able to shine at every step.
Jisoo presented his powerful voice with a cover of Zedd's "Clarity". Rosé presented the crowd with a melange of melodies including "Let It Be" from the Beatles and "You and I" by Park Bom, Lisa marveled with a sensual number, and Jennie owned the stage with her solo song "Solo".
Filipino Blinks has also left an impression on girls.
At one point in the series, Rosé was suddenly drawn to a stuffed toy with a picture of her baby. "It's so cute, you're so creative," said Rosé, holding the toy that was brought to the stage. She then spotted fluff with photos of the other members' babies, who were also brought on stage to allow the girls to take a picture before being returned to the fans.
Blackpink closed the evening with a cover of "Stay", an acoustic song pleading "stay with me". The public responded with flashing banners stating "We will stay forever".
Filipino Blinks can only hope that when the quartet returns to the country, he will be able to interpret more original songs.
