BLACKPINK will going to perform on Japan's representative music show 'Music Station'.

According to YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK will appear on TV Asahi (テレビ朝日, Terebi Asahi) Music Station broadcast on the 20th and decorate the stage for 'Lovesick Girls -JP Ver.-'.

' Music Station ' is the most popular music program in Japan for 35 years. It is said to be a must-have course for foreign pop stars who are popular in Japan.

This is BLACKPINK's second appearance in ' Music Station ' since October 2019, when they successfully completed their first world tour. It is noteworthy what kind of stage they will capture Japanese viewers with, who have not been active in music broadcasting recently.

BLACKPINK released 'THE ALBUM -JP Ver.-' last August 3. Immediately after its release, this album topped the Oricon Daily Album Chart as well as Japan's Apple Music Top Album Chart.

The soundtrack was also strong. After all of the album's songs landed at the top of major music charts such as Line Music and Japan's iTunes, they succeeded in arranging the top 10 albums on the AWA chart, proving the explosive interest of local fans.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK became the first K-pop girl group (based on Hanteo/Gaon charts) to become the million-seller by selling more than 1.3 million copies with their 1st full-length album 'THE ALBUM' released in October last year.

Thanks to this, it swept various global charts. 'THE ALBUM' topped the iTunes album charts in a total of 57 countries, and ranked second on the US Billboard 200 and UK Official Charts, renewing its own top ranking for K-pop girl groups.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
