ABOUT PUBG MOBILE
PUBG MOBILE is based on PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the phenomenon that took the world of interactive entertainment by storm in 2017. Up to 100 players parachute onto a remote island to battle in a winner-takes-all showdown.

About BLACKPINK
BLACKPINK is a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment. The quartet consists of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA. BLACKPINK had captured the hearts of audiences from the moment they released their debut single [SQUARE ONE] in August 2016. Since then, they have turned every release, including “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and “Kill This Love”, into international hits, making their foray into global superstardom. Spurred by this success, in 2019, BLACKPINK became the first female K-pop act invited to perform at Coachella, the largest music festival in the U.S. The following year, in October 2020, BLACKPINK released their first full-length album “THE ALBUM”, which topped prominent music charts, and recognized by numerous prestigious awards. It also surpassed 1.4 million in album sales, and BLACKPINK became the first K-Pop girl group to reach this milestone. The group also went on to perform a successful first livestream concert, “THE SHOW” on YouTube on January 31, 2021.
The band’s global influence keeps growing, and it is shown with their collaborations with international pop artists. Each of the members have also been active as global ambassadors for renowned luxury brands. And additionally, BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel recently surpassed more than 77.5 million subscribers, making them the artist with the most subscribers on the platform. |
