BLACKPINK’s MetLife Stadium concert on Aug. 11 was a night to remember. The show marked the K-pop group’s first encore performance in the United States as part of their Born Pink world tour. Since BLACKPINK just celebrated their 7-year anniversary on Aug. 8, the group’s staff decided to surprise them with an anniversary cake during their latest concert in New Jersey. The cake had black and pink icing and featured cute dolls of Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and RosĆ©.

The celebration kicked off toward the end of BLACKPINK’s MetLife Stadium concert. After the group performed their encore songs “Stay” and “Yeah Yeah Yeah,” their staff brought out a cake to honor BLACKPINK’s 7-year anniversary. The four-tier cake featured so many cool details, like roses, ribbons, and BLACKPINK’s iconic logo. It also had miniature figures of each of the BLACKPINK members in the center of the cake. The bottom of the dessert also had a sign that read, “Happy 7th Anniversary.” The surprise inspired the girls to sing “Happy Birthday.” Fans at MetLife Stadium concert also joined in.
