Famous Musicians Who Are Blackpink Fans
Blackpink is one of the biggest acts in K-pop and the general music industry. One of the smaller K-pop groups that has achieved mainstream success, Blackpink is composed of Lisa, Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie. With their vocals and some rapping skills, the four have been able to churn out hit singles and best-selling albums since August 2016, reported Korea JoongAng Daily. Blackpink's first single album, "Square One," ended up debuting at number one on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, per Billboard, which immediately put the girl group on the path to major stardom.
But even with their early achievements in 2016, Blackpink didn't make a huge impact in mainstream culture until they released their first Korean-language EP titled "Square Up" in June 2018, reported Billboard. The lead single from that EP was "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du." The single didn't receive the best reviews by critics — Business Insider's Palmer Haasch wrote that "the song is dramatic and filled to the brim with confidence, but it doesn't have the same kind of thematic substance as tracks like 'Kill This Love'" — "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” was a commercial triumph. The song was the highest-charting song by a Korean girl group in U.S. music history and impressively peaked in the number 55 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, per Billboard.
With all this success, Blackpink's gained millions of fans, and some of them are famous. So, who are they? Read on to find out!
