According to YG Entertainment on the 18th, Blackpink was appointed as the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) ambassador for the first time as an Asian artist.
Blackpink, who was selected as a public relations ambassador after a rigorous selection process, received a letter signed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, deeply empathized with the purpose of the UN SDGs to bring about positive change in the world, and happily participated in it.
Blackpink said, “It’s an honor to be part of the path toward a better world. Together with BLINK (fandom name), we want to inform the world of the importance of SDGs and contribute to solving the problems we are facing.”
The UN SDGs ambassador is currently composed of heads of countries, such as prime ministers, presidents, and queens, as well as global leaders such as world-class artists.
Blackpink will work with them to communicate the importance of achieving the UN SDGs and encourage their participation.
Since their debut in August 2016, Blackpink has established themselves as a global top girl group by producing numerous hit songs.
