The traditional aesthetic of Korean culture has decorated BLACKPINK's stage at Coachella.

Already regarded as 'legendary,' BLACKPINK's headlining set at Coachella has been gaining attention for a variety of reasons. One of them is the fact that the group incorporated Korean traditional elements to their production.

On an online forum, K-netizens discussed how beautifully BLACKPINK brought elements of Korean culture to the stage, including using dancheong for their main stage and Jisoo's solo stage, as well as the traditional patterns on Jennie's stage outfit.

They also incorporated buchaechum, a traditional fan dance from Korea, and the members waved the Korean national flag as they walked down the stage.

Netizens also expressed their pride, because the members bid farewell to the crowd in the Korean language.

Reactions include:


"I think them speaking Korean at the end is daebak..."

"Amazing how they are doing this even though their actual nationalities are quite diverse. They are paying tribute to Korea in a way"
"Singing in Korean and bidding farewell in Korean....so cool"
"I love their outfits....love the way they designed it like that"
"The dancheong stage is SO pretty"
"I am so proud..."
"So proud of my princesses"
"I hope they go up even higher from here and on"
"This isn't even a Korean event and they decided to showcase these kinds of Korean elements in front of many international people, and being proud of it. I am really thankful for those artists. I felt so proud."

"This just makes me feel how much effort they put into preparing for this production"
"I cried"
