BLACKPINK came together as a full group for the first time in 11 months at an event marking their 8th anniversary.

On the afternoon of August 9, BLACKPINK attended the press conference for their new film, BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR BORN PINK IN CINEMAS, held at Times Square in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. The film, celebrating their 8th anniversary, features footage from their world tour concerts and will be shown in over 110 countries.

The members—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—wore matching black outfits and walked the pink carpet. They also took time to sign autographs and greet fans they hadn’t seen in a while.

Jisoo thanked fans, saying, “It’s really hot today, and I’m sorry you had to wait so long. Thank you for coming and making beautiful memories with us. I missed the Blinks so much.”

Jennie got emotional, saying, “Thank you to all the Blinks who have supported us for 8 years. It’s such a hot day, and you’ve all worked so hard.”

Rosé added, “Even though it’s our 8th anniversary, people came to see us from both Korea and abroad. Thanks for the congratulations. I hope you enjoy the movie.”

Lisa expressed her sadness about leaving, saying, “I’m so sad we have to part ways already. Thank you so much to the Blinks, and I hope you stay with BLACKPINK for a long time. Love you.”

BLACKPINK debuted in August 2016 and has since released many hit songs like “Whistle,” “BOOMBAYAH,” “Playing with Fire,” “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” “Pretty Savage,” “Pink Venom,” and “SHUT DOWN.” They’ve produced 32 songs with over 100 million streams each and continue to be a major focus in the music industry.

After finishing their world tour last September, BLACKPINK ended their contract with YG Entertainment. Jennie and Lisa started their own agencies, while Jisoo and Rosé joined The Black Label.

Song Hye Kyo’s much-anticipated return to the big screen with The Black Nuns is making waves, as the film shoots straight to the number one spot in overall pre-sale rankings, even beating out Hyun Bin’s Harbin.

The Black Nuns is a chilling thriller about a group of individuals who perform forbidden rituals to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit. And it’s already generating tons of buzz!

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated computer network, as of 11 AM on January 15, The Black Nuns is leading the pack with a 16.4% pre-sale rate, having sold 38,391 tickets in advance. This is a strong indicator of the film’s high pre-release anticipation, even with nine days still left before its official opening.

With its unique storyline and gripping visual appeal, The Black Nuns is expected to inject fresh energy into the upcoming theater season. Song Hye Kyo has been actively promoting the film, making appearances on tvN's You Quiz on the Block, the web variety show Jeong Jae Hyung's Fairy Table, and sharing vlog videos on the Davichi Kang Min Kyung channel. All of these efforts are driving the film’s rising pre-sale numbers.

The film is also drawing attention for its star-studded cast, which includes not only Song Hye Kyo but also Jeon Yeo Bin, Lee Jin Wook, and Moon Woo Jin, all of whom deliver impressive performances.

The Black Nuns is set to hit theaters on January 24, and it looks like it’s already on track to be a massive success.
