Their blend of fierce choreography, stylish visuals, and diverse musical influences has captivated fans, known affectionately as "BLINKs," on every continent. Over the past ten years, numerous artists have amassed sizable YouTube followings, but BLACKPINK's channel is notable for its sheer volume of subscribers and level of engagement.

According to recent reports, BLACKPINK's official channel is closing in on 100 million subscribers, a mark that would officially crown them as the first musical act in YouTube history to achieve this feat—earning the coveted Red Diamond Play Button once reached.
