BLACKPINK is on the 2019 TIME 100 Next List Time.com: https://time.com/collection/time-100-next-2019/5718842/blackpink 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 https://i.imgur.com/mPPPKAL.jpg 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。 https://i.imgur.com/WcQxrFj.jpg ===== 大家可能有聽過年度「《時代》百大人物」(TIME 100), 今年他們新推出了1個年度「次世代百大人物」(TIME 100 Next)名單, 共分為藝術家(Artists)、倡議者(Advocates)、領袖(Leaders)、奇才(Phenoms) 及創新者(Innovators),BLACKPINK被列在Phenoms之中。 (分類的中譯參考自蘋果日報報的香港梁天琦入選新聞,因為Phenoms有點難翻得傳神) https://tw.appledaily.com/new/realtime/20191113/1663273/ 完整名單:https://time.com/collection/time-100-next-2019/ 遴選說明:https://time.com/5725626/how-we-chose-time-100-next/
