Legacy and cultural impact

Since their debut, Blackpink has emerged as a prominent act in K-pop. They have been referred to as the "biggest girl group in the world" by various organizations such as The Recording Academy, Time, and Rolling Stone,[1] "biggest K-pop girl band on the planet" by Vogue, NPR, and BBC,[2] and "K-pop Queens" by Billboard and The New York Times.[3] The group was hailed as the biggest music act in the world in Bloomberg's Pop Star Power Ranking of October 2020,[4] and one of the "world's most influential and bestselling artists" by Rolling Stone.[5] People included Blackpink in their listing of women changing the contemporary music industry,[6] while Variety named the group one of the most impactful figures in global entertainment.[7] Various artists have cited Blackpink as a direct influence, including BabyMonster,[8] H1-Key,[9] Tri.be,[10] Kiss of Life,[11] Classy,[12] Primrose,[13] Le Sserafim's Kazuha,[14] Lapillus' Shana and Haeun,[15] Fifty Fifty's Saena,[16] Mimiirose's Seo Yun-ju,[17] and @onefive.[18]

In South Korea, they ranked first on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 list in 2019, third in 2020, second in 2021 and 2022, third in 2023, and first in 2024.[19] They were the first girl group to make Forbes' 30 Under 30 Asia[20] and were named on the 2019 Time 100 Next list of rising stars, credited with "heralding a new era of Korean acts stepping past language barriers to play global stages" when they became the first K-pop group to perform at Coachella, the world's largest music festival.[21][22] Pop culture critic Kim Do-heon credited Blackpink for changing the perceptions of K-pop artists in the global music scene, garnering attention as iconic figures "on the same footing as Western pop stars" rather than challengers competing with them.[23] Bloomberg wrote that, alongside BTS, "Blackpink has achieved a level of global popularity unprecedented in the history of music",[4] while South China Morning Post highlighted Blackpink, BTS and K-dramas as leaders in the global interest of Korean pop culture.[24] The New York Times recognized Blackpink as one of South Korea's major cultural exports alongside companies such as Samsung, LG, and Hyundai, with entities like Blackpink, Squid Game, and Parasite appearing "as ubiquitous as any Samsung phone".[25] In 2020, CJ E&M honored the group as one of the ten "2020 Visionary" figures for their contributions in spreading Korean pop culture globally.[26] During South Korean President Moon Jae-in's 2021 New Year's address, Blackpink was cited as a leader in the promotion of South Korea's image abroad and highlighted government support of such entities as a key strategy in "firmly [solidifying] Korea's status as a cultural powerhouse".[27][28]

Sisa Journal identified Blackpink's global influence as a standout even among the other greatest girl groups in K-pop history, such as Girls' Generation, 2NE1, Wonder Girls, and Twice, and expressed that just as the symbol of girl groups for pop music fans around the world was the Spice Girls in the mid-1990s, "the representative image of today's girl group is none other than Blackpink."[29] While discussing the evolution of girl groups since the early 20th century, The Recording Academy noted how "the success of K-pop girl groups shot to a new level when Blackpink entered the scene in 2016".[30] Billboard recognized Blackpink as "the most successful K-pop girl group to have impacted the U.S. market", citing the group's performances at Coachella as well as their Billboard 200 chart-topping album Born Pink.[31] The Circle Chart observed a significant increase in the incorporation of English lyrics in songs by South Korean girl groups after Blackpink's international breakthrough in 2020; the organization saw it as an attempt for girl groups to broaden their listener base to include audiences outside of Korea.[32]

Blackpink have amassed a large following on social media and streaming platforms; they became the most-subscribed music group on YouTube in September 2019,[33] the most-subscribed female artist in July 2020,[34] and the most-subscribed music act overall in September 2021,[35] with over 90 million subscribers as of July 2023.[36] Blackpink became the most-followed girl group on Spotify in November 2019;[37][38] as of April 2023, they have over 40 million followers.[39] On Instagram, the group's members are the four most-followed individuals based in South Korea (in order from first to fourth: Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé).[40]
