And naturally, BLACKPINK has fans all over the world.
The Italian rock band and 2021 Eurovision winner, Måneskin, also mentioned the girl group when asked which artists they would like to collaborate with in the future.
"If you could pick one person from today to join your group, who is joining Måneskin?" the interviewer asked the band. While Vic, the bassist, said Nikki Minaj, the band's frontman, Damiano, replied, "The whole BLACKPINK group."
