Blackpink to appear on ‘Late Show’

Girl group Blackpink will take the stage on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” next week, the U.S. broadcaster CBS announced.

CBS said Wednesday the four-piece group is scheduled to perform at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York and chat with Colbert Monday.

Celebrities who have made appearances on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” include former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, singer Lady Gaga, actor Ryan Reynolds, singer Justin Timberlake and actor Jack Black.

Blackpink’s appearance on the show will mark the first meeting between the show’s comedian host and the Korean artists, its agency YG Entertainment said in a statement.

The group will also make an appearance on U.S. broadcaster ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday before going on “Strahan and Sara,” another ABC program, on Feb. 15.

YG Entertainment has teamed up with Interscope Record, which is affiliated with U.S. record label Universal Music Group, in a bid to help the K-pop quartet’s foray into the U.S. market.

The group has been invited to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, an annual music festival in the United States, on April 12 and 19.

The group, which is currently in the middle of its first global tour that will take it to North America, Europe and Australia, will perform for fans at concerts in Singapore on Feb. 15, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Feb. 23. and in Taipei. Taiwan, on March 3.
