Hey there! Let's dive into some pop-culture goodness!
The Philippines took the spotlight, proving its die-hard fans are top-notch when it comes to supporting K-pop acts. During BLACKPINK's virtual concert, The Show, the Philippines claimed the third spot among countries with the most viewers, trailing close behind the US and Thailand.
Unveiled via YouTube in January, The Show demanded viewers to purchase memberships on BLACKPINK's official channel for access. With a record-breaking attendance of approximately 280,000 paying members, it's safe to say this was quite the spectacle - not just the K-pop group's first virtual show but a significant milestone[3][5] in their online concert series.
As for the list of countries with the most enthusiastic viewers, it doesn't stop at the Philippines. The US, Thailand, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom joined the party.
BLACKPINK's subscribers saw an explosive growth post-concert, moving them up to the second most-subscribed channel, surpassed only by the one and only Mr. Justin Bieber.
Comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, BLACKPINK embarked on their musical journey way back in August 2016. Following the success of their 2019 EP Kill This Love, they stormed back in June 2020 with their chart-topping single "How You Like That," effectively kickstarting their journey towards their debut full-length studio album The Album.
