BLACKPINK INTERACTION 2019 WITH WESTERNER ARTISTS

The main problem being the difference in culture, beauty definition, music taste, and racism. Even BLACK PINK’s fandom, BLINK, was worried for the girls’ future when YG didn’t let go of the “American dream”. Blackpink's performance at Coachella last year has left a good impression on American fans. BLACK PINK brought fire to the stage and paid attention to stir up the audience’s emotion. In addition, the performance with the live band also gives a different feel than the group’s previous stages.

When BTS came over to promote, a lot of people did think they met the hype ARMY gave them, which attributed to a lot of their success.
