While performing their stage yesterday, the group was suddenly cut off and rushed backstage. Although the announcer explained they would return to finish their set, they never did.

BLACKPINK was never able to perform “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” their newest title track, during the Lotte Festival.

 

Fans were thankful to receive the treat during a hot day, but insisted that yesterday’s incident was in no way BLACKPINK’s fault.

they're the best but they shouldn't have to apologize for something that isn't even their fault 😟
