In every country and territory they visited, Blackpink left a good impression on the audience. At the end of July, the four girls of the group had 2 shows in Hanoi and attracted nearly 70,000 Vietnamese audiences. The 2 shows that exploded in music and image of Blackpink in Hanoi received a shower of compliments from the Vietnamese audience.
After two shows in Vietnam, Blackpink has a series of shows in the US. According to Touring Data, as of August 31, revenue from Blackpink's world tour reached 350 billion won (equivalent to 264.5 million USD).
With impressive sales, Blackpink became the first girl group in the world to achieve a "huge" achievement. As expected, the group will end the Born Pink world tour with the final show on September 9 in Seoul (South Korea).
Last July, Blackpink's management company shared with the Korean media that they expected the group to earn $200 million by the end of the tour. Thus, Blackpink has surpassed the expected revenue mark.

In addition to the "huge" revenue, Blackpink also created other records. The group's Born Pink tour became the first tour by an Asian female artist to surpass the $100 million mark.
With over 97,000 spectators in attendance, Blackpink's two shows at the National Stadium in Singapore became the highest-grossing concert of all time in Asia, with $9.226 million.
Blackpink also holds the record for the highest-grossing group in Thailand. The group earned $36.3 million for their agency and sold more than 205,000 tickets for their 10 shows in Thailand since 2019.
The Korean girl group is also the only K-pop artist to have sold out tickets for a concert at Rajamangala Stadium (Thailand). The group's two concerts in Thailand earned a total of 15.3 million USD in revenue, contributing significantly to Thailand's economy and tourism.

Also in 2023, Blackpink affirmed their name and influence in the world when participating in the major music event - Coachella in the US. They are also the only Asian artists invited to attend the music event Coachella in 2023.
After the global tour Born Pink , Blackpink will consider renewing their contract with YG Entertainment. Since last April, the news that Blackpink member Lisa had difficulty renewing her contract with the management company has made Blackpink fans worried.
According to some Chinese news sites, Lisa and YG Entertainment have not reached a mutual agreement and the Thai singer has received cooperation offers from other companies. Currently, Lisa and YG have not responded to this information. Whether Lisa continues or leaves YG may affect the future of the group Blackpink.
Debuting in 2016, the four girls of Blackpink have captivated audiences with their musical talent and unique style. Blackpink is managed by YG Entertainment - one of the three largest entertainment companies in Korea.
Before Blackpink, YG Entertainment was the "cradle" that trained legendary Korean music groups such as Big Bang and 2NE1. They are also considered one of the most rigorous places to select and train artists in the Korean entertainment industry.

After only 7 years of operation, the group has owned 5 songs with over 1.3 billion views on the YouTube platform. On July 30, the group's MV Ddu Du Ddu Du reached over 2.1 billion views on YouTube, helping Blackpink set a new record in their career.
Blackpink's songs are a mix of strong hip-hop beats with EDM and many other genres. Portal Kocca commented that Blackpink's music has many similarities with famous European and American artists, with a strong street feel.
The four members of the group aim for a unique image. Blackpink's MVs are full of color, creative choreography, and express the free and strong spirit of women. This helps them attract a large audience from Europe and America.
Each member of Blackpink has a fan community and takes turns releasing music products with their own mark.
In addition to their influence in the music industry, the young Korean group is also an idol in the fashion industry. Rosé, Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie are all the faces of luxury fashion and jewelry brands.
