BLACKPINK Fan Guide (2026): DEADLINE, YG Hapjeong & the SameE
A current BLACKPINK fan guide to the DEADLINE era, official member activities, YG's Hapjeong headquarters, the SameE merchandise shop and concert prep.
Table of Contents
BLACKPINK debuted in 2016 under YG Entertainment, and its official fandom is BLINK. For travelers planning around the group’s 10th-anniversary era, the useful distinction is simple: official music and tour information belongs to BLACKPINK and YG channels, while Seoul sightseeing should stay limited to public places. The YG headquarters is a secure office, but the official fan space the SameE operates across the street.
Key Takeaways for BLINK
- BLACKPINK opened the DEADLINE world tour at Goyang Stadium on July 5–6, 2025 and completed the announced tour in Hong Kong on January 26, 2026.
- The third mini album DEADLINE was released on February 27, 2026 with “GO” as its title track.
- YG headquarters in Hapjeong is not open for fan tours or lobby visits.
- the SameE Hapjeong is the practical public stop for a café, official merchandise and temporary artist events.
- K-Star Road in Gangnam is more than 15 kilometers away and is not part of the Hapjeong headquarters route.
BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE Era
YG’s official tour record shows that the DEADLINE tour began with two Goyang Stadium concerts on July 5 and 6, 2025. The group previewed “JUMP” at the opening shows before its official July 11 release. The expanded schedule ultimately covered 16 cities and 33 performances, ending with three Hong Kong dates on January 24–26, 2026.
BLACKPINK followed the tour with its third mini album, DEADLINE, released on February 27, 2026. YG’s official discography lists five tracks: “JUMP”, title track “GO”, “Me and my”, “Champion” and “Fxxxboy”. These official pages are safer reference points than reposted schedules, fan-edited track lists or resale pages.
August 2026 marked ten years since BLACKPINK’s debut. That anniversary makes old and new Seoul guides easy to mix up, so check the publication date whenever a post claims that a museum, pop-up or shop is still operating.
Current Solo Activity: Check Each Member’s Official Channel
The members’ solo releases and partnerships are managed through different companies and official channels. Do not assume every solo schedule will appear on YG’s BLACKPINK page.
ROSÉ
ROSÉ’s solo album rosie includes “APT.” For current music, appearances and brand campaigns, use her official artist channels and the relevant label or event organizer rather than an unofficial BLACKPINK itinerary.
JENNIE
JENNIE followed her album Ruby with the digital EP Fallen Angel, released on August 28, 2026. The release date and physical-edition information were announced through her official Weverse notices.
LISA
LISA’s solo catalog includes Alter Ego. Time-sensitive residency, concert and release plans should be checked through her official artist channels and the venue itself before booking travel; do not rely on copied social graphics.
JISOO
JISOO followed AMORTAGE with the digital single “CLICK”, released on September 4, 2026. Use her official music channels for the release and current activity rather than treating film, fashion and music schedules as interchangeable fan events.
Visiting YG Headquarters and the SameE
The YG Entertainment headquarters is at 7 Huiujeong-ro 1-gil in Mapo-gu. It is a working office with controlled access, not a public BLACKPINK attraction. Stay on public sidewalks, keep entrances and driveways clear, and do not wait for artists, employees or vehicles.
Across the street, the SameE provides the visitor-facing option. YG notices identify its café on floors 1–2 and its MD shop on basement level 1 at 6-3 Huiujeong-ro 1-gil. Merchandise inventory, anniversary events and purchase benefits change, so confirm the current notice before traveling for a specific item.
Hapjeong and Gangnam should not be presented as one compact fan route. K-Star Road in Apgujeong–Cheongdam is a separate cross-city destination, not a walkable extension of YG headquarters. If you visit both, budget a distinct transit block and choose each on its own merits.
BLACKPINK Concert Ticket Preparation
The official Goyang notice required separate BLINK membership and ticket-platform registration for presale access. Future events may use different rules, but the same preparation discipline helps:
- Read the organizer’s notice for the exact city and performance.
- Match membership, ticket account and passport names when identity checks apply.
- Complete presale registration before the ticket queue opens.
- Test an accepted card and keep a backup payment method.
- Ignore sellers who promise that a non-transferable ticket will work under another name.
