The three will have a few days off after wrapping up their "Born Pink" world tour with the two shows in Hanoi, reported Dispatch on Monday.

Rosé’s jeans, which had stuffed animals attached to them, were the cynosure of all eyes as she jigged for the benefit of fans, who had gathered to welcome her and the other members home.

The singer, immediately upon her arrival in South Korea, uploaded photos of herself in a Vietnamese conical hat, garnering millions of likes and tens of thousands of comments. Many made appreciative comments about the group’s concerts in Vietnam.

The shows at Hanoi’s My Dinh National Stadium on July 29 and 30 were attended by an estimated 70,000 people.

The group’s "Born Pink" world tour, which began late last year, has grossed around US$163.8 million so far and sold more than 900,000 tickets.

This makes it the highest grossing girl group tour of all time, surpassing the previous record set by the Spice Girls' 2019 Reunion Tour ($78.2 million).
