Okay, fam, prepare to be absolutely floored because our ultimate faves, BTS and BLACKPINK, are not just serving music, they’re serving culture and it’s a whole vibe! 👑🇰🇷
First up, BTS is set to absolutely slay their comeback stage for their 5th full album ‘ARIRANG’ on March 21. And where, you ask? Only at the iconic Gwanghwamun Square, the actual heart of Korea! Imagine this: our Bangtan boys starting their performance journey inside the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace, walking the king’s path through Gwanghwamun and Wolde, leading to a stage that’s gonna be pure magic. ✨ Remember their legendary ‘IDOL’ performance at Gyeongbokgung in black hanbok-inspired fits? ARMYs are already manifesting that level of visuals and impact! This comeback is gonna be streamed worldwide on Netflix in over 190 countries, so everyone can witness the glory. We’re talking up to 260,000 fans (ARMYs, get ready to secure your spots!) and a global audience experiencing Korea’s beauty alongside our Oppas’ mind-blowing talent. This is not just a concert; it’s a cultural moment, periodt! 💜
And our queens, BLACKPINK, are absolutely taking over the National Museum of Korea (NMOK)! For their new mini-album ‘DEADLINE,’ they’re dropping a massive collab with the NMOK from Feb 26 to March 8. This is history, people – first K-Pop group to do a major collab like this! Our faves will be lending their voices to audio guides for 8 legendary artifacts. Plus, the whole NMOK building is gonna be lit up in iconic BLACKPINK pink! 💖 And get this: you can snag a sneak peek (listening session!) of their new album a day early, starting Feb 26, right in the NMOK lobby. Talk about an exclusive experience! It’s been 3 years and 5 months since their last mini-album, so you know the BLINKs are ready to flock.
Both groups are proving they’re more than just idols; they’re global ambassadors, making Korean heritage cool AF for a whole new generation. When your ‘Choi-ae’ (ultimate bias) shows you culture, you bet everyone’s paying attention! 💯
