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在美国或许还只是一颗正冉冉上升中的灿星,
但在YouTube上,她们有着统治级的表现。
这个由Jisoo、Jennie、Rosé与Lisa组成的4人团体,
拥有全球音乐团体之最的3100万订阅人数。
今年BLACKPINK也成为首个在Coachella演出的K-pop女团,
预示韩国艺人跨越语言隔阂,在全球舞台上表演的新时代到来。
BLACKPINK的成功,有部分归功于被称为BLINKs的忠实且熟悉网络的大量粉丝,
尤其是帮助她们闪耀的《Ddu-Du Ddu-Du》MV达成10亿观看数。
BLACKPINK表示,她们的目标是带来能帮助听众提升“信心和勇气”的音乐。
