- My best moment as a Blackpink fan (Blink)
My best moment as one of biggest Blackpink fans, is when I heard that Blackpink will have a concert in Indonesia on early 2019. Unfortunately, I didn't attend the concert because I don't have money and the tickets were so expensive. That's why we call Blackpink as one of the highest-selling concert-touring girl groups worldwide.
