Since then, BLACKPINK has become one of the most influential and groundbreaking acts of all time.

The group has broken numerous records, including being the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, having multiple music videos with hundreds of millions of views<\/a> and charting high on Billboard\u2019s U.S. albums list multiple times. Plus, their social media followings rank among the biggest worldwide for any music act.<\/p>\n After taking a brief hiatus as a group in September 2023 to focus on solo projects, BLACKPINK is finally back in your area.
