군백기 없다..방탄소년단 ‘봄날’ 6년 만 역주행, 83개 지역 깜짝 1위

군백기 없다..방탄소년단 ‘봄날’ 6년 만 역주행, 83개 지역 깜짝 1위 그룹 방탄소년단(BTS, RM 진 슈가 제이홉 지민 뷔 정국)의 ‘봄날’이 6년 만에 또 한번 글로벌 차트를 강타했다. 지난 13일 일본 오리콘 차트가 발표한 ‘데일리 디지털 싱글 랭킹'(12월 12일 자)에서 방탄소년단이 2017년 발매한 ‘WINGS 외전: YOU NEVER WALK ALONE’의 타이틀곡 ‘봄날’이 깜짝 1위에 올랐다. 이 차트의 순위권 밖에 자리했던 ‘봄날’이 순위가 급상승하며 1위로 직행한 것이다. 또한 ‘봄날’은 12일부터 14일 오전 8시까지 기준으로 미국, 일본, 독일, 영국, 프랑스 등을 비롯해 총 83개 국가/지역의 아이튠즈 ‘톱 송’ 차트 1위를 찍었다. 다수의 국가/지역 ‘톱 송’ 차트에서 연말을 맞아 캐럴(Carol) 장르가 강세를 보이는 가운데, 머라이어 캐리(Mariah Carey)의 메가 히트곡 ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’를 제치고 ‘봄날’이 차트 정상에 올라 눈길을 끈다. 이 같은 ‘봄날’의 역주행에는 아미(ARMY. 팬덤명)의 저력이 있었다. 지난 12일부로 전원 군 복무에 돌입한 방탄소년단의 오는 2025년 완전체 활동을 기다리는 팬들의 따뜻한 마음이 차트에 반영된 것으로 예상된다. 한편, ‘봄날’은 브릿 록(Brit-rock)적인 감성과 일렉트로닉 사운드가 결합된 얼터너티브 힙합(Alternative hip-hop) 장르의 곡으로, RM과 슈가가 작곡에 참여해 멀어진 친구와의 만남을 기다리며 희망을 잃지 않겠다는 메시지를 곡에 담았다.

Blackpink, today is the finale of their world tour.. The grand finale of their year-long journey.

Blackpink, today is the finale of their world tour.. The grand finale of their year-long journey.

BLACKPINK will finally conclude their [BORN PINK] World Tour at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome on the 16th and 17th. As a moment that completes the beginning and the end with domestic fans, it has garnered great attention as a festival that encompasses performances from the past year. Not only will their stage presence and directing expertise be showcased, but it is expected that fans from all over the world will be able to feel why they were so passionate about BLACKPINK through their senses.

◆ Coming with performances that conquered the 64th concert+US/UK festivals

Since October of last year, BLACKPINK has embarked on the largest-scale tour in girl group history, covering 34 cities including North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East with a total of 64 performances, including encore performances. In the meantime, they made their presence known as a “world-class” group by actively participating as headliners at the world’s largest music festival, Coachella, and at Hyde Park in the UK, becoming the first Asian artist to do so.

The Seoul concert has prepared only the best results, condensing everything. It is truly the conclusion of [BORN PINK]. In particular, they plan to actively incorporate some of the performances from Coachella and faithfully reproduce the excitement of that time within Korea. Some hit songs have been arranged exclusively for this occasion. The dancers, with the largest number ever employed during the tour, add to the overwhelming scale.

◆ Expanding the scale and adding novelty.. Diverse variations in directing

YG’s high-quality production, which has evolved through various environments and variables in each country, supports their high level of completion. As the first K-pop female artist to enter the largest indoor venue in Korea, Gocheok Dome, they have made efforts to enlarge the stage scale and incorporate various production elements such as LED screens, lasers, lighting, and special effects in order to interact closely with all the audience members.

The hanok-inspired set that received praise from global fans and influential foreign media at Coachella was newly produced. Every detail, from the expression of curves and materials to the sense of depth, was focused on in order to preserve the beauty and symbolism unique to Korea.

As the special moment that decorates the culmination of the grand journey, the concert on the 17th will be conducted through the first-ever simultaneous online streaming for the [BORN PINK] tour, inviting BLINKs from all over the world to a magnificent festival beyond physical boundaries. It is expected to be a meaningful gift not only to the fans who have been running together but also to the audience members who unfortunately cannot attend the concert.

Various attractions have been prepared throughout Seoul. In the vicinity of Hongdae, a collaboration pop-up with Verdy, which has excited fans from the UK, France, and the US, will be launched. On the day of the concert, there will be various booths and events encouraging carbon reduction in daily life, such as a carbon calculator event for the audience, promising both fun and significance.
