Blackpink’s star may still be rising in the U.S., but on YouTube, it reigns
supreme: the foursome—a.k.a. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa—has 31 million
subscribers, more than any other music group in the world. This year,
Blackpink also became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella,
heralding a new era of Korean acts stepping past language barriers to play
global stages. Blackpink’s success has been powered in part by a devoted
legion of digitally savvy fans—in this case, Blinks—who, among other
things, helped its flashy “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” music video reach 1 billion
streams. The group’s goal, they say, is to make music that helps listeners
gain “confidence and boldness.” —Kat Moon

BLACKPINK在美國或許還只是一顆正冉冉上升中的燦星,
但在YouTube上,她們有著統治級的表現。
這個由Jisoo、Jennie、Rosé與Lisa組成的4人團體,
擁有全球音樂團體之最的3100萬訂閱人數。
今年BLACKPINK也成為首個在Coachella演出的K-pop女團,
預示韓國藝人跨越語言隔閡,在全球舞台上表演的新時代到來。
BLACKPINK的成功,有部分歸功於被稱為BLINKs的忠實且熟悉網路的大量粉絲,
尤其是幫助她們閃耀的《Ddu-Du Ddu-Du》MV達成10億觀看數。
BLACKPINK表示,她們的目標是帶來能幫助聽眾提升「信心和勇氣」的音樂。
