The viral sensation continued during the event as videos surfaced capturing the genuine shock and surprise of the BLACKPINK members upon the mention of their names by the King. In the footage, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rose, seated at separate tables, exchanged smiles and glances, clearly moved by the special recognition.
Additional clips shared on social media showcased the BLACKPINK members mingling with other guests and even having an audience with the King. Rose, taking the lead, engaged in conversation with King Charles in English on behalf of the group.
The videos swiftly went viral, prompting an influx of fan reactions on social media. One fan expressed excitement, stating, “BLACKPINK’s ENTRANCE!
