BLACKPINK’s triumphant headlining Coachella set made thousands of new K-pop fans.

BLINK, a condensed version of the band’s name, is what the group’s devoted fanbase call themselves, and I now count myself among their ranks. Generously, they welcomed me with open arms on social media, with over 200 comments to a tweet declaring my allegiance to Jennie, whose solo portion of the set was a transfixing mix of pop EDM bombast and early aughts hip-hop syncopation supplied by live drummer Bennie Rodgers II, who snuck octopus-armed fills into nearly every measure.

There was a 10-minute lull between the drone show and the beginning of Blackpink’s set, which in the moment felt like a missed opportunity at carrying forth the momentum, but by the time the video monitors flooded with gushing pink waves, the break was forgotten. The legion of BLINKS were a ubiquitous presence on the polo fields, wearing more merch than for any other artist I’ve seen this weekend.

Jennie, Jisoo, Rose and Lisa of BLACKPINK perform at the Coachella Stage during the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 15, 2023.The four members of BLACKPINK — Jennie Kim, Jisoo, Lisa, Rosé — were larger than life, exuding infinite pop star charisma and proving without a doubt they deserved top billing; they are the first Korean band to headline Coachella. Unlike, which was plagued by technical difficulties, BLACKPINK’s was flawless.
