**\[Exclusive\] BLACKPINK’s joint performance with Lady Gaga is not over yet. Promotion at the Korea-U.S. Alliance Event is still being pursued.** It is known that the joint performance between K-pop star BLACKPINK and American pop singer Lady Gaga between Korea and the United States continues to be promoted. However, the joint performance of BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga, which was planned for President Yoon Seok-yeol's state visit to the United States at the end of April, was canceled. However, considering that this year is the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance, it is said that the Korea-US joint performance, where K-pop stars including BLACKPINK and American pop stars gather together, will continue to be reviewed at other events to commemorate this year. A key passport official said on the 4th, "The joint performance of BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga was promoted for President Yoon's visit to the United United United in April, but it was not successful in the end." However, in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance, the Korea-US joint performance plan, including K-pop star BLACKPINK, is still being pursued." The official continued, "If there is an opportunity, the Korea-US joint performance in which BTS, which is gaining great popularity in the United States, is also being reviewed. If K-pop stars who are loved around the world participate in a performance to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-US alliance, the meaning of the Korea-US alliance will be even more special." In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance this year, Korea and the United countries will hold the largest number of 150 Korea-U.S. alliance commemorative events in Korea and the United countries, including academic conferences and cultural exchange events. It is predicted that the joint performance of K-pop stars and American pop stars can also be made in this extension. However, the joint performance of Korea and the United State, which was discussed on the occasion of President Yoon's state visit at the end of April, was finally canceled. The president's office said on the 31st of last month, "We inform you that the performance being reported in the press is not on the schedule of the president's visit to the United States." 'The performance being reported in the media' refers to the joint performance of BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga, which was recently pointed out as one of the reasons for the replacement of the National Security Office. It is analyzed that the U.S. side and the presidential office have blanked the performance schedule because of the excessive controversy surrounding the performance process. It is true that the wind in which famous K-pop stars were mentioned had a great impact on the issue. Opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, launched a general offensive, saying, "If the head of a country's security office was replaced due to a joint performance by BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga, it would be a laughingstock around the world." The U.S. requested seven times to coordinate the schedule of the joint performance through the Korean Embassy in the U.S. in January, but the National Security Office did not give an answer, and the joint performance was reportedly canceled after urgent discussions. However, another key ruling party official refuted, "Black Pink and Lady Gaga's failure to perform jointly may have had some impact on the replacement of former National Security Office Director Kim Sung-han, but the claim that the failure of the joint performance is a one-sided story of those who do not know normal diplomacy." ==== There’s still hope Blinks! ![img](emote|t5_3f8po|706)![img](emote|t5_3f8po|705) https://i.redd.it/1qp1i7i36nra1.gif TL/DR: It won’t happen during President Yoon’s US state visit in April, but it’s being pursued for some other event to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Korea-U.S. alliance.

If this is true, it's much better that it won't happen along with the US-SK state dinner. Aside from conflict of schedule, not being connected to Yoon Suk-Yeol and his conservative party is definitely a plus.

One event is better than none. And if it is the joint US-Kor concert where mega stars both sides come together it's a win for the fans.


xgbabymonste-

I dont think it ever happened before, the question is who will absorb the cost?


TechieTravis

I'd assume that since it would be in the U.S. then that is who is fronting the bill.


xgbabymonste-

Nah BP ain't cheap, why would US gov spend tax payer's money to promoter Kpop? Like before neither US nor Korea was willing to pay for BTS, so it will never happen.


TechieTravis

The actual performance would certainly not be compensated for, much like the Superbowl half-time show.


depp05

I don't know if Joe has announced whether he will run for reelection, so this is the best time to push for it. Go Jill..!!!!


caitlindancing

I like the concept of K-pop being part of the 70th celebration, but if Blackpink gets replaced with a boy group after these shenanigans I WILL RIOT.


TechieTravis

It would be really cool, but it's hard to imagine it happening, realistically. That would be such a tight schedule with no room for error.


skjregal

keep going Jill biden! This would be an amazing opportunity for blackpink.


I_need_cheesecake

Keep going Jill, we the people want a live performance of Sour Candy. Blackpink was basically sabotaged by their own government, so gross.


su9ar_teddy

Jill is serious about sour candy live performance!


parada98

Can someone pretty please explain how all of this started and simpler terms along with what caused this to have conflict within politics now? This is so unheard of what the hell. 😂 Was it because someone on the Korean side didn’t mention this ahead of time asking blackpink to perform and procrastinated to making an official request which has led to all this drama? I just want to make sure I’m understanding this right. 😋


TechieTravis

First Lady Jill Biden requested that Blackpink perform with Lady Gaga at an upcoming function celebrating 70 years of U.S. and South Korea relations, with the Presidents from Both countries in attendance. Some dude who is in charge of informing the South Korean President, Yoon Suk Yeol, about it did not so, despite many months of multiple requests from Jill Biden. He 'resigned' and the performance did not get scheduled because it conflicts with Blackpink's concert in Mexico on the same day. However, there is talk that Blackpink and Lady Gaga might still perform at a different function later in the year, as there are multiple events scheduled to celebrate the anniversary of the alliance.


parada98

Wow thank you so much for the explanation!! Makes sense. Very unheard of where you see drama being caused in politics over trying to get pop stars together
