In addition to the performances, Blackpink excited the audience with short interactions, expressing their love for the people and country on their first time here.

"I love Vietnam. I love Hanoi," they shouted throughout the performance.

Rosé, the main vocalist complimented Vietnamese cuisine as very delicious, especially pho, while Lisa said she loved bun cha, and Jisoo added that she liked banh mi.

The 26-year-old singer Rosé has mentioned her love for pho many times before. Vietnamese fans overseas often gift her instant pho packs and have even asked her to get pho at the airport.

In early July, a Vietnamese TikToker came to Incheon Airport to welcome Rosé after she returned from England. She asked Rosé what she wanted to eat most in Vietnam and she replied pho, in a moment that quickly went viral among Blackpink fans in Vietnam.

After receiving instant pho packs from the fans, Rosé took a photo and said it was her favorite dish.

In the reality show "Blackpink House," Rosé asked Lisa to have pho with her on their day off.

"I’m hungry and I want to eat pho", she said after spotting a Vietnamese restaurant on the road. She ordered a big bowl of beef pho, with Vietnamese rolls and fried rice and couldn’t hide her excitement while enjoying the dishes.
