The group BLACKPINK has once again proved its global influence by proudly ranking in the final round of the 'Best Music - Spring' category on 'FANNSTAR,' a weekly idol ranking site.

According to the 'FANNSTAR' announcement on the 20th, BLACKPINK landed at 18th place after a fierce competition among prominent global stars. The top of the chart currently features major players in the K-pop fever, including BTS (1st), WOODZ (2nd), and SEVENTEEN's DK & Seungkwan (3rd), yet BLACKPINK continues to showcase its unrivaled presence among them.

This achievement is even more significant as it was reached even though BLACKPINK is not currently in an active promotion period. Since 'FANNSTAR' voting is conducted 100% through fan participation, the result confirms the steadfast loyalty and strong solidarity of global BLINKs (the fandom name) beyond just the ranking.

In particular, as BLACKPINK has established itself as an 'icon' leading the world music market by breaking new records with every album, the mobilization of fans is expected to intensify as the final vote progresses.

With the final voting continuing until May 4th, fans are keenly watching to see how much the 'Global Queens' BLACKPINK can boost their ranking in the final sprint.
