    paper BORNPINK

    This is a promotional video for Blackpink’s Born Pink World Tour. Born Pink World Tour is the second worldwide concert tour to promote their studio album Born Pink. Blackpink announced 36 tour dates in total between October 2022 and June 2023 on Twitter on August 8, 2022.

    I didn’t want to simply show some clips or images of the four girls, even though they are the whole point of this tour. Instead, I tried to find a visual representation that speaks to the message of the album and the messages that the girls deliver through the performance.

    I got inspired by the cover of the album as well as the lyrics. My concept is a Chinese term called “ 蛇 蝎 美 人,”which means beautiful and dangerous woman.
