BLINKs, this is the best Christmas gift you could ask for this year.

The sensationally popular South Korean girl group, BLACKPINK, made up of Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa and Jennie, have reached new heights in 2020, even during a global pandemic. The group has stormed their way into the growing K-pop empire that is rapidly becoming part of American culture.
 
Just six days ago, the band released a 20-second video via YouTube, titled ‘THE INVITATION.’ The top-secret vibes with a large black briefcase and white gloves, ended with a delivery stamp that read, ‘Deliver by: 11am KST – DEC. 3rd, 2020,’ clearly hinting that something big was on the way.

As BLINKs around the world speculated what was ahead, two days later the girls uploaded a second video called ‘THE SHOW’ Trailer. This snappy, hip-hop video introduced their exciting livestream concert in partnership with YouTube Music, set to take place December 26 at 9pm PST/December 27 12am EST. 

‘THE SHOW’ will be the band’s first ever livestream concert and the first event to be featured on South Korean label YG Entertainment’s new digital platform, ‘YG PALM STAGE.’ During a YouTube message from the K-pop stars themselves, they said: “Just the thought of having fun with BLINKs on stage makes us so excited,” 

“We’re preparing really hard for the show since it’s been a while that we’ve seen BLINKs from all around the world. Although it’s sad we can’t meet you guys in person, we’ll show you great performances that will kick away all those sorrows, so please look forward to it!”

The online show will be livestreamed on BLACKPINK’s YouTube channel, but you will need to purchase a Standard or Plus Membership to attend - these can be bought up to an hour before the event starts. The Standard package starts at $29.99 USD, including the livestream, custom emojis and rebroadcast, while the Plus package starts at $39.99 USD and includes everything plus bonus behind-the-scenes content.
