Wonka star reminisced the time his 11-year-old daughter and her friends asked him to tag along with them, as they went to see BLACKPINK perform at London’s BST Hyde Park. He found it fascinating that his sweet daughter turned into a crazy fan, grooving to BLACKPINK’s tunes with the Hammer Bong (BLACKPINK’s concert lightstick) in hand. He was surprised to see his daughter like that. The Notting Hill actor further revealed that after an hour, he also got hooked to their songs and started swinging the lightstick.
For the unversed, BLACKPINK scripted history by becoming the first-ever K-pop group to headline a big UK music festival (BST Hyde Park) which was completely sold out, gathering a crowd of 65,000 fans from all around the world.
BLACKPINK is one the most successful girl groups in the history of K-pop. The girl group features four members, namely Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa.
