Previously, Blackpink's official YouTube channel reached 100 million subscribers, setting a new record for music artists on this platform. The achievement was less than 10 years since its launch, and the channel also recorded more than 41 billion views for music products and related content.
Right after the special milestone, Blackpink posted a short video to express their gratitude to the fan community. In the video, the members appeared in a warm atmosphere, successively sending thanks in both Korean and English, emphasizing that fan support is an important factor in helping the group achieve this achievement.
The members also introduced the Red Diamond button - a special reward from YouTube for the channel reaching 100 million subscribers. The image of the girls raising this symbol is seen as a milestone for the group's global development journey, from the early days of debut to the position of leading K-pop star today.
In the common message, Blackpink sent thanks to fans who have always listened to music, followed activities and accompanied the group throughout the past time. Each member also shared their own feelings, expressing their desire to continue to receive love and support in upcoming projects.
Notably, the milestone of 100 million registrations came just days before Blackpink released a new mini album called "Deadline", expected to be released on February 27. This is considered a product marking the full return of the group's lineup after a period of focusing on personal activities, so it is receiving many expectations from global fans.
With a large number of followers on YouTube and strong influence on digital platforms, Blackpink continues to affirm its position as one of the most successful girl groups in the world today. The new achievement not only reflects the group's appeal but also shows the increasing role of the online music market in connecting artists with international audiences.
