Fans of the group, known as Blinks, showed their support on Twitter, with many considering going to Coachella for the first time to see their favorite group.
Blackpink will be the first K-pop girl band to perform at Coachella. Always great to see any type of Asian representation in mainstream American art and culture as it is so exceedingly rare. Let’s break more stereotypes and preconceptions in 2019.
#BLACKPINK make history as the first female K-pop act to be on Coachella’s lineup! Alt rock band Hyukoh will also be performing this year, so honestly 2019 is starting off on a great note for Korean artists 🙌🔥💜 https://t.co/lx3mqesMxs
