K-pop superstars Blackpink may have wrapped up their explosive Toronto shows, but two of its biggest names—Lisa and Rosé—kept the excitement going with a surprise visit to a beloved Korean restaurant in North York after their final concert.
On Wednesday, July 23, after performing at Rogers Centre, Lisa and Rosé made an unexpected late-night stop at Huh Ga Ne, a 24-hour Korean barbecue spot nestled on Finch Avenue West, right in the heart of Toronto’s Koreatown North.
Fans Catch a Rare Glimpse of the Global Stars
The group’s concerts drew tens of thousands, but for a lucky few, the real highlight happened after the show. A video shared by local lifestyle account Toronto Diary captured the two Blackpink idols leaving the restaurant, surrounded by their team.
The clip quickly made the rounds on social media, with fans stunned to see the global music icons in such an unassuming, everyday Toronto setting.
“When you met Blackpink Lisa & Rosé in Huh Ga Ne in Toronto,” read the caption, as viewers commented in awe of their visit—and their down-to-earth restaurant choice.

A Surprise Visit to a North York Staple
While Toronto boasts countless Korean barbecue restaurants, Huh Ga Ne is a favorite among locals for its authentic flavors, 24-hour service, and unpretentious vibe. Known more for sizzling meats than celebrity sightings, the restaurant suddenly became a viral hotspot overnight.
Though the restaurant has yet to comment on the visit or what the stars ordered, their presence alone sent fans into a frenzy.
Reactions From the Fandom
Blackpink fans—or Blinks—flooded the video’s comment section with admiration and excitement.
- “I love that restaurant!” one person wrote.
- “Lol good taste,” said another, praising their choice.
Not all comments were glowing, though. One user jokingly compared the humble setting to a fast food spot: “Damn, you might as well just take them to A&W.”
Still, most agreed that the stars’ casual outing only made them more relatable and likable.
Why the Visit Matters
For Blackpink to dine out at a local Toronto establishment after a global tour show speaks volumes about both the appeal of Korean cuisine in Canada and the group’s desire for low-key, authentic moments away from the spotlight.
It’s a rare glimpse of celebrities behaving just like regular people—enjoying barbecue in a late-night joint after a long day’s work.
Huh Ga Ne, located at 19A Finch Ave. West, may never be the same again.
