Blackpink’s debut in Coachella four years ago was a milestone for K-pop, helping fuel the global craze for South Korean entertainers.
This weekend, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo return to headline the music festival in the Southern California desert, the first time a Korean act has done so. The world’s most popular girl band, Blackpink is setting records on the Billboard charts with hits like Shut Down and Pink Venom from the Born Pink released album last year.
