BLACKPINK, Time Magazine's Entertainer of the Year "Icon of the Present Age"

Girl group BLACKPINK was selected as '2022 Entertainer of the Year' by TIME. 

Time magazine released a list of the most influential people in each field this year through its official website on the 5th (local time). Beyond K-pop, BLACKPINK became the first girl group in the world to be named 'Entertainer of the Year'.

Time magazine said, "Blackpink is an icon of the current era that leads the trend, and has become the biggest female band in the world that no one can deny." Through the regular album, we have changed several records,” he revealed the reason for the selection.

“Blackpink says they are ordinary girls, but in fact, their 2022 is absolutely not. It is a blockbuster concert attended by famous pop stars such as Selena Gomez and Usher. It also has the largest number of YouTube subscribers among artists in the world", it added. 

Members expressed their feelings to Time magazine, "We are the happiest when we are doing music. We are enjoying every moment happily, so we have achieved good results along with it." 

Then, regarding the fan club BLINK, "We think the greatest power was the fans who always love and support us unchangingly. We will do our best every moment with a grateful heart.”

BLACKPINK was selected as one of the 'TIME 100 NEXT 2019' figures, drawing attention as an artist with high expectations for global influence. In addition, the group has been steadily raising the status of K-pop, such as being nominated for 'Person of the Year' in 2020.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK is cruising through the largest world tour of a K-pop girl group, attracting about 1.5 million people. BLACKPINK, who met a total of 200,000 spectators by selling out all tickets for 14 concerts in 7 cities in North America, moved to Europe and successfully held 10 concerts in 7 cities. In addition, from 2023, the following year, they are expected to expand their rapport with fans by heading to Asia and Oceania.
