BLACKPINK Heats Up U.S. Stage: Rosé and Lisa’s On-Stage Kiss Sends Fans Into a Frenzy

On July 13, following two sold-out kickoff shows in South Korea, BLACKPINK brought their DEADLINE world tour to the United States and made history by becoming the first girl group to hold back-to-back sold-out concerts at SoFi Stadium. The group’s dominance on the global stage continues to cement their legacy in K-pop history.

But what truly ignited online chatter was a steamy surprise during the show. In a playful yet eyebrow-raising moment, Lisa spontaneously leaned in to plant a kiss on Rosé mid-performance. Rosé, clearly unfazed and amused, smiled warmly in response, fueling a wave of fan screams and blushing reactions from the crowd.

This intimate display wasn’t the only spicy moment of the concert. Jennie turned heads with a bold outfit revealing a peek of her bikini top bearing her name, while Lisa captivated the audience with a sultry dance routine alongside a female dancer.

For longtime BLINKs, the Rosé and Lisa moment — affectionately dubbed “Chaelisa” — wasn’t entirely unexpected. The duo, both born in 1997, trained together for years under YG Entertainment before debuting with BLACKPINK. Over time, they’ve formed one of the most beloved friendships in K-pop. Fans often highlight their contrasting yet complementary traits: Rosé, known for her emotional vocals and calm elegance, and Lisa, a firecracker of dance talent and charm. Their opposite energies only enhance their chemistry, making their interactions — whether playful or heartfelt — a fan favorite.

From teasing each other in interviews to hyping up each other’s solo releases, Rosé and Lisa consistently show genuine affection. Their tendency to exchange kisses on the cheek has long been a hallmark of their friendship — and this latest on-stage moment only added fuel to the Chaelisa fandom fire.

As BLACKPINK’s DEADLINE tour continues, the group proves once again that their bond, talent, and fearlessness in performance make them a global phenomenon — and moments like Rosé and Lisa’s kiss remind us just how much fans love every unscripted second.
