Girl group Blackpink will hold two encore concerts to finish off its "Born Pink" world tour on Sept. 16 and 17, the quartet's agency YG Entertainment said Wednesday.

"The two concerts will be a grand finale to the world tour during which the girl group colored 41 cities around the world in pink over the course of 11 months," the agency said.

The venue has yet to be decided but will be somewhere in Seoul, according to the agency. The second concert will also be streamed online for global fans.

Ticket sales will take place on Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. for members of Blink, the girl group's official fan club. General sales will begin on Sept. 1 at 7 p.m.

Tickets for online streaming will take place on Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. through Weverse Shop.

"We are happy to end the tour in Korea, where we began the tour, with Korean fans," the agency said in a press release. "The members particularly wanted to hold an encore concert in Seoul. The staff and artists alike are putting their best foot forward to give the best performance."
