TAIPEI (TVBS News) — BLACKPINK members Lisa and Jennie sparked a global fashion frenzy after wearing boots from Taiwanese brand D+AF during their weekend concert at Kaohsiung National Stadium (高雄國家體育場). The K-pop girl group's appearance before over 100,000 fans Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 18-19) triggered massive social media discussions about their Taiwanese footwear choices.
Lisa wore D+AF's "lightweight thick-soled lace-up short boots" during the encore performance, while Jennie selected "slimming magic pointed high-heeled boots." Fans immediately flooded social platforms with excitement and style commentary about the Taiwanese brand's international exposure. D+AF expressed surprise and delight on Threads, Meta's social platform, confirming dramatic search increases for both boot styles.
Concert aftermath saw keywords like "Jennie same style" and "Lisa's platform boots" trending rapidly across social media platforms. Popular sizes sold out swiftly on the D+AF website as global demand surged for the BLACKPINK-worn styles. The Taiwanese footwear brand launched a "Star Stage Special Project" (明星舞台特別企劃), offering the identical shoes at accessible prices.
Fans showcased their outfits on social media platforms, expressing desires to dance to BLACKPINK's "How You Like That" while wearing their new D+AF footwear. The sustained buzz surrounding the Korean pop group's footwear choices could significantly elevate global awareness for local Taiwanese fashion brands. This cross-cultural fashion moment demonstrates Taiwan's growing influence in international style markets. ◼
