During a state banquet at Buckingham Palace, King Charles III hailed BLACKPINK for their global influence and advocacy for environmental sustainability. The recognition of the K-pop group marked a significant moment of cultural diplomacy between the UK and South Korea.

At a state banquet in Buckingham Palace, King Charles III gave an unexpected nod to the soft power of pop culture by recognizing the South Korean K-pop group BLACKPINK. The occasion, set to strengthen UK-South Korea trade and defense ties, became a platform for cultural diplomacy when the King praised BLACKPINK for spreading the message of environmental sustainability.

During his speech, King Charles personally commended the group members—Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé—acknowledging their role as global superstars who also prioritize vital global issues. His recognition underscored the significant influence of cultural icons in international relations.

In a lighter moment, the King humorously admitted to not mastering "Gangnam Style," a global hit by Korean artist Psy, during his previous visit to Seoul, showcasing a relatable and insightful side of the monarchy that embraces global popular culture.

This rare royal honor given to BLACKPINK at such a significant diplomatic event highlights Britain's recognition of the importance of cultural figures in fostering global connections and addressing important societal challenges.
