They say Filipinos make the best fans, and Filipino BLINKs certainly proved so as the Philippines came in third on the list of countries that had the most number of viewers for BLACKPINK’s virtual concert, The Show.

The Show streamed on January 31 via YouTube, with viewers purchasing memberships to the group’s official channel to gain access to the show. According to Soompi, the concert – BLACKPINK’s first virtual show – saw about 280,000 paying members.

YG Entertainment, the group’s label, released a list of countries that had the most people tuning in to the show, with the Philippines ranking third, after the United States and Thailand.

Other countries included in the list are Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

BLACKPINK’s YouTube channel also saw a spike in subscribers following the concert, and they are now the second most-subscribed channel, following Justin Bieber. 

The K-pop girl group debuted in August 2016 with members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. After the success of their 2019 EP Kill This Love, the group made a comeback in June 2020 with their song “How You Like That,” the lead single off their debut full-length studio album The Album. – Rappler.com
