Hosted during the visit of South Korea’s President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee to the UK, the banquet underscored the importance of fostering international cooperation and collaboration.

Dressed in elegant evening gowns, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa exuded grace and poise as they joined dignitaries from both countries, including British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and members of the British Royal Family. However, their presence at the banquet transcended mere celebrity status, as they attended as advocates for the United Nations’ sustainable development goals and ambassadors for the UK’s COP26.

During his address, King Charles III expressed profound admiration for BLACKPINK’s commitment to making a positive impact on the world stage.
