Blackpink

 

　　BLACKPINK's global appeal has never been a subjective matter. It is arguably the most well-recognised and successful all-girl group from the K-pop capital of South Korea.

　　BLACKPINK has now added another feather to their cap, achieving a feat previously only conquered by the likes of Beyonce and Taylor Swift. The KPOP group manageed to sell out, with little to no effort, two consecutive nights in the MetLife Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 82,500, and certainly is a daunting venue to most perfomers because they are unsure or afraid that they might not sell it out.
