Blackpink fans around the world, or BLINKs as they like to call themselves, have more things to anticipate this week other than the premiere of the “Light Up the Sky” documentary on Netflix. The widely famous K-pop group is going to host a global fan event on Tuesday, just a day before the film is out on the streaming platform.

The content to be included in the fan event is not specified, but reports have it that members of Blackpink – Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé – will be interacting with their fans. There are also reports that the K-pop stars would be answering some questions from their fans during the virtual event.

‘Blackpink: Light Up the Sky’ release date, where to watch
It should be noted that a paid Netflix subscription will be required to watch the “Blackpink: Light Up the Sky” documentary. The film is expected to shed light on how the K-pop group started and how Blackpink became one of the most popular music groups worldwide.
“Blackpink: Light Up the Sky,” helmed by Emmy-nominated director Caroline Suh, is expected to narrate how the group started leading to one of their most significant achievements since 2016, which was their Coachella performance in 2019. The documentary that will be available on Netflix on Wednesday, Oct. 14 promises to let fans in on unreleased behind-the-scenes footage that would allow them to see more of how their K-pop idols prepare for sold-out concerts and in crafting their previous records.
