The Coachella Music and Arts Festival is one of the most highly anticipated music events, and has gained a reputation for gathering thousands of audiences, who attend to see their favorite artists perform on live stage.
On April 15, the second day for Coachella 2023 was held, with K-pop sensation BLACKPINK headlining the event. The group initially made an amazing accomplishment during 2019, when they became a sub-headliner, which is a first among K-pop artists.
As BLACKPINK grew and advanced ahead with their flourishing career, the girl group has once again achieved another feat. On Coachella 2023, they became the first K-pop act to headline the event, marking another memorable triumph for the girls and BLINKs, their loving fandom.
Here are the 7 best BLACKPINK moments during Coachella 2023!
1. BLACKPINK's 'PINK VENOM' Intro Stage
After a series of dance numbers from backup dancers, BLACKPINK made their explosive entrance with the heavily trap-infused "PINK VENOM," which set off to a great start! The girls performed "PINK VENOM" with a rendition, giving the song a bit of a twist, exceeding the expectations of fans.
2. Jisoo's Exquisite 'FLOWER' Solo Performance
During the event, BLACKPINK didn't just get to perform live together, but also had the opportunity to shine individually. For their solo stages, Jisoo kickstarted the lineup with "FLOWER," her solo debut song. Jisoo captivated audiences with her catchy music, vocal prowess, and elegant visuals!
3. Jennie's Wild 'You & Me' Solo Stage
For her solo portion, Jennie went with a confident stage of "You & Me," where she freely expressed her ability as a performer. The BLACKPINK member closed in everyone's interest with her live vocals, which trended across the internet.
On her stage, Jennie also suffered a wardrobe malfunction that involved her skirt. However, the idol demonstrated how professional she is by continuing the performance, since for her, the show must always go on!
