It's no longer uncommon to associate Billboard charts with Korean artists outside the K-pop world.

"BLACKPINK in your area!" BLINKS, it's time to fall in love with the Korean girl group all over again as the dance performance video for their comeback single, How You Like That, is here to slay. For the unversed, June 2020 saw the highly-awaited comeback by BLACKPINK as the pre-release single, How You Like That, was unveiled for the world to consume.

Can we stop everything and just give BLACKPINK's newest release How You Like That a good look? The wings, the technicolour, the goddamn powerful lyrics and the four women, rising like the Phoenix to remind everyone that they are the best in the business. It has been a long, long wait but Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa made it worth the wait.

It won't be wrong to say that BLACKPINK is one of the leading Korean girl groups whose international fanbase increases every year thanks to their addictive tunes and the members' electrifying personalities. It's hard to believe that it has just been four years since Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa debuted as BLACKPINK in 2016 and went on a rampage to attain global domination.

Over decades, Korean entertainment has swept across the globe with a huge international fan following at its beck and call thanks to the gripping dramas, creative storytelling in films and addictive music. Korean actors are not just popular locally but enjoy a worldwide fanbase as well.
