LONDON (Reuters) – In a grand ceremony at Buckingham Palace, King Charles bestowed honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire medals upon the popular K-Pop band BLACKPINK. The event was attended by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, adding to the prestige of the occasion.
The quartet – Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose – shared joyful moments with the British monarch as they received their medals. Laughter filled the air as King Charles playfully remarked, “It’s amazing you’re still talking to each other after all these years.”
Expressing his admiration for the band, the King added, “I hope I shall be able to see you perform live at some point.”
