As of today, Lisa from BLACKPINK reigns as the most followed K-pop artist on Instagram, boasting an impressive 95.4 million dedicated followers. Additionally, their official YouTube account has garnered a staggering 89.6 million subscribers.
Stay tuned as Starbucks Coffee Asia Pacific unveils further details about this highly anticipated collaboration with BLACKPINK, promising an exciting new merchandise collection that fans won't want to miss.
