BLACKPINK gets royal welcome at South Korea-UK banquet; earns praise from King Charles | Watch

Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé from BLACKPINK graced the South Korea-UK state banquet as honoured guests. King Charles commended their advocacy for environmental sustainability during the royal reception. Each member exuded grace and royalty in their attire, adding to the elegance of the event. The ceremony saw the distinguished presence of British and Korean leaders, including UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, highlighting the significance of this gathering.

King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted a splendid dinner at the palace to commemorate the state visit of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee to the United Kingdom. Among the distinguished guests were members of the South Korean girl band BLACKPINK.

Amid ongoing speculation about their ties with YG Entertainment, the Pink Venom singers joined the South Korea-UK state banquet as COP26 ambassadors, advocating for the UN's sustainable development goals. A viral video captures King Charles, the evening's host, praising the members for their efforts in spreading the message of global environmental sustainability to a large audience.

‘It is especially inspiring to see Korea’s younger generation embrace the cause. I applaud Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, better known collectively as BLACKPINK, for their role in bringing the message of environmental sustainability to a global audience as Ambassadors for the U.K.’s Presidency of COP 26, and later as advocates for the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals,’ King Charles said.

He emphasized how K-pop is influencing the youth and leaving a lasting impression on them. As reported by Sky News, King Charles said ‘Korea has matched Danny Boyle with Bong Joon-ho, James Bond with Squid Game and the Beatles' Let It Be with BTS’s Dynamite”. He continues “Our cultures share a remarkable ability to captivate imaginations across the world, transforming a so-called soft power into a shared superpower.’
