"South Korea's National Treasure" BLACKPINK receives much praise from local and international press for their powerful performances headlining Coachella

The four members of BLACKPINK showed a natural command of the stage and spectacular performances at Coachella 2023, making history as the first kpop group to headline the festival.

On the first day as a headliner for “Coachella 2023”, BLACKPINK put on a series of epic performances of their most iconic songs.

The groups' song list included: "Pink Venom", "Kill This Love", "How You Like That", "Pretty Savage", "Kick it", "Whistle", "Boombayah", "Lovesick Girls", "Playing With Fire", "Typa Girl", "Shut Down", "Tally", "DDUDUDUDUDU" and "Forever Young".

Their performances received a ton of praise from international media outlets, even calling the set a "showstopper."

Each member also showed off their individual charms through their solo performances. Jennie was the first to introduce her solo song “You & Me” in a ballet-inspired, all-white outfit. Fans were in awe of her harmonious performance with the male dancer.

Then, Jisoo captivated attention with “FLOWER” in a stunning red outfit. With flawless visuals and natural command of the stage, the singer put on a wonderful performance for her first ever solo music release.

For her solo stage, Rosé brought a mix of two tracks, “Gone” and “On The Ground”. The singer stole the spotlight in a see-through outfit exuding confidence. The power of her voice won much praise.

The last to perform her solo presentation was LISA with her hit "Money". With a powerful dance and extraordinary movements, Lisa delighted the entire audience.

Both group and individual presentations were applauded and praised by various local and international media outlets such as Billboard, Rolling Stones, Variety, Bazaar, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, USA Today and many more.

Newscasts from various countries also began to highlight BLACKPINK's performance at Coachella and show their amazement at the huge number of viewers who were present both in person and virtually (250 million live viewers and a crowd of more than 125 thousand people). It was even reported that Knetizens took to social media to express their utter pride in the group, while loving the use of traditional Korean elements used during performances.

Now fans are counting down the days to the group's next appearance headlining Coachella, which will be this April 22.

Truly amazing performance, on and off stage (the preparations must have been insane). All the criticism for their past tour performances seems to be nullified. I am really really proud to call myself a BLINK!
