Last March, the quartet became the most-streamed female group on Spotify with over 8.8 billion individual streams, according to Guinness World Records.
Debuting in 2016, BLACKPINK is best known for the hits Whistle, As If It's Your Last, Boombayah, How You Like That, and Pink Venom, among many others.
The girl band went to the Philippines last March for a back-to-back concert at the Philippine Arena.
They also made history as the first K-pop group to headline Coachella on Sunday, April 16.
On top of their success as a group, the members have been paving their paths for their respective solo careers. Jennie made her solo debut with a single dubbed Solo in November 2018, while Lisa and Rosé released their solo music in 2021 with LALISA and On the Ground, respectively. Jisoo made her solo debut on March 31.
