Black Pink is a girl group signed to YG Entertainment that debuted in 2016 to great popularity in Thailand. Member Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban, 21, is Thai. Their hits include summer banger hits “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” “Playing With Fire,” “Whistle” and a collab with English singer Dua Lipa on “Kiss and Make Up.”

It’s a band with crossover appeal.

In July, Panthongtae “Oak” Shinawatra, the 38-year-old son of fugitive former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, publicly declared himself a Blink. In the same month, a video dubbing junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha into “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” became a viral hit.

Ticket details for the Jan. 12 and 13 shows have yet to be announced, but hurry, because Blinks, as Black Pink fans are known, are sure to snatch them up quickly.
