Girl group BLACKPINK has shared its reaction after becoming the first artist worldwide to surpass 100 million YouTube subscribers.

On the afternoon of the 20th, BLACKPINK crossed the 100 million mark and received YouTube’s “Red Diamond Button” to certify the milestone.

The members thanked fans in a video posted that afternoon.

Jennie said, “I want to once again thank everyone who always takes interest in our music and loves us,” adding, “I’m especially happy we could make this record together with BLINK,” the group’s fandom.

Rosé said the achievement “means even more,” adding that she had heard BLACKPINK was the first official artist channel to reach 100 million subscribers on YouTube.

Lisa thanked YouTube “for creating a space where we can always communicate with fans around the world,” and added, “Most of all, thank you so much to BLINK for being with us every moment, watching and listening to our music, and growing with us. We couldn’t have come this far without you.”

BLACKPINK is also set to release its third mini album, “DEADLINE,” on the 27th. The release will be the group’s first album in three years and five months since its second full-length album in September 2022.

Jisoo said, “We worked hard for a long time and put a lot of care into preparing our third mini album, ‘DEADLINE,’ so please give it lots of love.”
