BLACKPINK

– South Korean President Yoon said, “I hope that Blackpink, which plays a great role in promoting national interests, will continue these good activities in the future.”

– The South Korean news channel mentioned Blackpink: “I’m sure everyone knows these four ladies. Blackpink is the girl group representing Kpop. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they have a special diplomatic mission that rewrites the history of popular music and enhances the prestige of the nation.”
