The group BLACKPINK is preparing a large-scale project to celebrate their 5th debut anniversary this August.

Their agency, YG Entertainment, announced the start of the BLACKPINK 5th debut anniversary project by releasing a poster through their official blog on the 15th at 10 AM.

It is also known as the "4+1 PROJECT." While the specific details are not yet known, fans' interest and anticipation are growing regarding the meaning behind the numbers.

YG stated, "We have planned a project in various forms to repay the love and expectations of many fans," and added, "The details will be gradually revealed on the 5th anniversary event website (5th.blackpinkofficial.com)."
BLACKPINK captivated the public immediately after their debut in August 2016. Since then, all their released songs, including "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "KILL THIS LOVE," have become major hits, establishing them as global stars.

Notably, their first full album "THE ALBUM," released in October last year, ranked second on the US Billboard 200 and the UK Official Charts, setting a new record for the highest ranking by a K-pop girl group.

BLACKPINK's influence is also growing stronger on YouTube and Spotify. BLACKPINK currently has 62.1 million YouTube subscribers, making them the top female artist worldwide.
