Ahead of their performance at Coachella 2023, BLACKPINK members opened up on their 2019 debut in a conversation with Billboard. Lisa said, “Our motto is to enjoy every stage and moment. ‘As if it’s the last,’ interacting with the audience by energy and doing our best while performing. We’re working hard on various performances for 2023 Coachella; look forward to it.” On the other hand, Jennie said, “We had the best time in 2019 and can’t wait to experience the energy of the audience again. There are some nerves, but more than anything, we’re just ready to have fun.”

Continuing the conversation, Rosé added, “I think performing for Coachella in 2019 was a moment that really woke us up as Blackpink. To be motivated, to dream on and dream big. But we never expected anything as big as being the headliner of a festival we’ve all grown up admiring and hoping someday we could find ourselves in the crowd of.”

Meanwhile, Jisoo said, “It’s always so happy to meet BLINKs up close. The 2019 Coachella was full of fascination and excitement, but we have no clue how 2023 Coachella will be. We try all the time to show a new side of ourselves for each stage to repay the love from BLINKs. It is an honour to perform as a headliner for Coachella festival.”
