As a result, Blackpink met fans 18 times in 10 cities in North America alone. This is thanks to the explosive support and interest of local fans.

The four members, who thrilled the audience with their relentless performances, are expected to continue this excitement by going on stage once again on April 22nd.
Meanwhile, Blackpink is conducting the largest world tour by a K-pop girl group, 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR [BORN PINK]', mobilizing approximately 1.5 million people. After successfully performing in North America and touring Europe last year, they are heading to Asia to interact with more fans.
