BLACKPINK's Rosé performed the following songs on her solo segment:

  1. APT. (Solo Version)
  2. 3 am
  3. toxic till the end

During the concert, a fan-taken video of the idol performing the track, 3 am, went viral on the internet due to alleged lack of audience response and enthusiasm. As Rosé was performing the song, she turned the mic towards the crowd for fans to sing along. However, the crowd appeared quiet, a moment that quickly gained traction online.

Several netizens criticized the idol for allegedly not including more fan-favorite songs in her setlist, outside of the viral October 2024 track, APT. feat Bruno Mars. They also questioned the strength of BLACKPINK's fanbase, suggesting a lack of loyal supporters.

However, many BLINKs came forward to defend both the idol and the fandom. Some explained that the viral video failed to showcase that many fans were, in fact, singing along.

Additional videos of the same incident landed on the internet, revealing the audience singing the lyrics. Fans and attendees explained that the general crowd for the Toronto concert was quieter than usual, and noted that BLACKPINK often has their concert audiences filled with more casual listeners than dedicated fans.
