Rabat – On February 20, YouTube officially announced that BLACKPINK has reached 100 million subscribers, making them the first official artist channel in history to make this achievement.
In recognition, YouTube awarded the group a custom Red Diamond Creator Award, which is reserved only for channels that surpass this exceptional subscriber count.
BLACKPINK celebrated the milestone on social media, captioning their post, “BLACKPINK HITS 100 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE,” while YouTube’s official account commented, “We’re so proud to see you make history!”
