BLACKPINK’s monumental comeback with “DEADLINE” has generated thousands of interactions online, marking the idols’ return after a three-year hiatus. Once again, BLACKPINK is the talk of the town for all the right reasons, collecting awards like no other.

On March 11, a new episode of Show Champion was broadcast. As usual, the show prepared a special lineup of performers, including EVERGLOW, H1-KEY, TUNEXX, MADEIN, ONE PACT, Jay Chang, X: IN, LAVIN, ASC2NT, RED OOPART, Saem, and QQQ.

The adrenaline reached its climax as the hosts announced the candidates for first place. BLACKPINK’s “GO,” H1-KEY’s “To. My First Love,” Hearts2Hearts’ “RUDE!,” IVE‘s “BLACKHOLE,” and TUNEXX’s “I’m Alive,” were all competing to add a jewel to their crowns. Ultimately, BLACKPINK earned their first award in this era with “GO,” marking a special moment for the idols who were criticized for the little support they received from K-Netizens during this comeback.
