Fans laud BLACKPINK for surpassing 100M Spotify streams on all 32 songs of their discography

The overwhelming support from fans worldwide continues to propel BLACKPINK's music to new heights, exemplifying their global impact and dedicated fanbase, affectionately known as BLINKs.

Meanwhile, the quartet concluded their highly successful BORN PINK World Tour in September 2023, solidifying their global dominance.

Notably, Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa have embarked on solo endeavors by launching their agencies. BLACKPINK's groundbreaking journey extends beyond Spotify milestones.

As of September 27, 2023, they became the first Korean act to achieve the highest number of videos surpassing 1.5 billion views each on music streaming services worldwide. A highlight includes the dance performance video for How You Like That, standing as the first and only K-pop group dance performance video to surpass 1.5 billion views on YouTube.

Recent reports from News1 suggest that the group might be taking a temporary hiatus as a group. The members, prioritizing their solo ventures, terminated their solo contracts in December 2023, leading to the creation of their solo companies. Rosé is reportedly gearing up to launch their one-man agency soon.

While this news might leave BLINKs with mixed emotions, the group's legacy remains intact.
