BLACKPINK , Président Macron
BLACKPINK made a special finale at a French charity event.
BLACKPINK attended the French Hospital Foundation Gala Concert held at the Zenith Arena in Paris on January 25 (local time). This is an event organized by a charity headed by French first lady Brigitte Macron, who is the chair of the board of directors, and which pursues various fundraising events and voluntary activities with the aim of “improve hospitalization conditions for sick children’ every year.
BLACKPINK is the first K-pop artist to be invited to a concert in France. After famous pop stars such as Pharrell Williams and Mika, they performed the title track of their second album “Shut down” and the pre-released song “Pink venom” in the last part.
The orchestral melody was added to BLACKPINK’s overwhelming performance, giving a very strong impression. World-renowned cellist Gautier Capucon added force to the accompaniment of “Pink venom“, and violinist Daniel Lozakovich, called “Classic Royal”, reproduced the violin performance of “La Campanella”, the original sample “Shut down“.
BLACKPINK was named the United Nations Sustainable Development (SDG) Ambassador about two years ago and is working to deliver messages on a total of 17 major goals, including “climate change response” and “education. “. After the performance, Mrs. Brigitte Macron said: “The proceeds from the sale of tickets for the event and all the funds raised for this concert will be donated to the Fondation des Hôpitaux Français, thank you to the group for joining us in such a significant event”, expressing his gratitude to the members.
BLACKPINK is currently conducting the world’s largest K-pop girl group tour, which attracts around 1.5 million people.
