K-pop girl group performed for their massive hoard of loyal followers at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney as a part of their In Your Area world tour last 15 June.

On Saturday evening just metres away at Sydney Olympic Park, dance festival I Am Hardstyle also took place and let's just say it was a wildly different fanbase. In fact police reported that 5 people were arrested on drug supply charges.

However during Channel 9's Sunday afternoon news slot, Channel 9 ran a story reporting on the drug bust and used footage from BLACKPINK's concert.

Social media users have now called for an apology from Channel 9 for the misreport.
