While many netizens couldn’t stop praising the members and loved seeing them back together, the members were hit with criticism during the group choreography moments.

In particular, a clip of the members dancing to “Forever Young” gained attention and was the center of criticism from netizens.

After watching the clip, netizens hit back at the “lack of energy” from the members and how after three years, there were no improvements. Some even thought it looked like four soloists on stage together rather than a group, seemingly critiquing the synchronicity and chemistry between the members in the clip.
BLACKPINK are set to go global with DEADLINE following the first Korea shows.
