Because it is one of our big dreams, it is a precious moment that we really love. "
Jennie also commented on the tears she shed at the end of the concert, saying, “I must have choked on a lot with emotions when we did our encore performance. It's a concert I've dreamed of since debuting, and the days of my debut have just passed. "
"I want to be proud of myself and cheer myself up, but I'm ashamed," he added. Jisoo shared, "After the tour ended, it felt like a dream, it didn't feel real. Thinking about the situation now, it feels even more surreal and like a dream."
At the end of the concert, Jisoo commented, “We prepared for 'THE SHOW' for a long time, and even though it took longer than expected due to unforeseen circumstances, we finished it safely, and we hope BLINK will enjoy it. I wish everyone good energy and vibes watching our performances. Thank you for always supporting us. "
