Hollywood star Hugh Grant attended the Blackpink concert at BST Hyde Park, with his daughter on July 2. After attending the event, the ‘Notting Hill’ star declared himself a 'rabid blink' fan. The term ‘Blink’ is an affectionate nickname the group has for its massive fan base.
Hugh Grant then joked, ‘Slept with my heart hammer,’ a nod to the pink hammer-shaped light sticks known as BI-Ping-Bong that have become a signature of BLACKPINK's concerts.
Grant tweeted, ‘Very grateful to three eleven year olds for taking me to see @BLACKPINK yesterday. Am rabid Blink now. Slept with my heart hammer.’
A video clip of Grant from the concert went viral on social media. The actor is seen wearing a Blackpink hoodie while at the concert venue.
Hugh Grant and Blackpink were excited to see the actor at the band's concert. Many took to Twitter and expressed their joy. ‘Omg my fav actor is a blink,’ one user tweeted.
The South Korean girl group crooned hit songs like ‘Shut Down’ and ‘Pink Venom’ during their concert. They impressed a huge crowd of 65,000 fans with their amazing performance.
Blackpink is the first-ever Korean group to headline a major music festival in the United Kingdom.
