BLACKPINK became the first Asian act to headline Coachella and holds the record for surpassing Justin Bieber's subscriber count on YouTube. They became the first K-pop girl group to ever perform at the prestigious festival. In addition, they have held the Guinness World Record for the most concurrent Blackpink fans on social media. BLACKPINK's success has been driven by their dedicated fan base, known as BLINKs, who have shown unwavering support. In September 2020, Jennie expressed the group's gratitude for their fans, stating that their achievements are the result of their collective efforts. Despite taking time apart for solo projects, BLACKPINK is set to continue their winning streak with the DEADLINE World Tour and the release of their album DEADLINE in 2026.",
