YG PLUS, a company specializing in entertainment infrastructure and IP business, announced on the 16th that Verdy, a world-renowned graphic designer from Osaka, Japan, will collaborate with BLACKPINK. As the art director of the BLACKPINK world tour 'BORN PINK' capsule collection, he plans to incorporate his unique artistic sensibility and BLACKPINK's unique stylish sensibility into the capsule collection.

One of the hottest artists in the streetwear and subculture scene today, Verdi is known for his iconic artwork 'Girls Don't Cry' and 'Wasted Youth' as well as the character 'Vick'. Also known as 'Visty'. He is constantly collaborating with various global brands as much as his global popularity, and has recently presented creative works with Nike, Human Maid, Instagram, Levi's, Minions, Coachella, Beats By Dre, etc.

On the other hand, BLACKPINK, which became the first Asian artist to headline the ‘Coachella Festival’ in April and stood tall as a global top artist, is getting stronger day by day, regardless of team and solo. They have expanded their influence through continuous collaboration with world-class pop stars, and all four members are active as ambassadors of famous fashion beauty brands as representative style icons that lead the trend. In addition, Blackpink's official YouTube channel has 89.2 million subscribers, ranking first among male and female artists worldwide.

K-pop fans and fashion maniacs around the world are expected to pay keen attention to this capsule collection, which combines the two artists' unique styles and artistic senses.
