BLACKPINK Grabs First Music Show Trophy for 'GO' — And BLINKs Cannot Keep It Together

BLACKPINK has officially claimed their first music show win for 'GO,' taking the trophy on SBS Inkigayo on March 9 and sending their global fanbase into an emotional frenzy. The victory marks a significant milestone in the group's highly anticipated comeback, proving that the four-member powerhouse has lost none of its chart-dominating magic.

A Win That Fans Had Been Counting Down To

The Inkigayo win comes just days after 'GO' debuted at the top of major Korean music charts, including Melon, Genie, and Bugs. BLACKPINK competed against strong contenders in the weekly ranking, but the combination of digital sales, viewer votes, and broadcast points gave them a decisive victory. The moment their name was announced, all four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — looked visibly moved on stage.

This is BLACKPINK's first music show trophy since their Born Pink era, and it carries special weight given the members' solo activities over the past two years. Fans had been streaming and voting around the clock in the lead-up to the broadcast, and the payoff was immediate.

BLINKs Flood Social Media With Tearful Celebrations

Within minutes of the win, 'BLACKPINK INKIGAYO' and 'GO First Win' trended worldwide on X (formerly Twitter). Fan accounts shared clips of the acceptance speech, in which Jennie thanked BLINKs for 'waiting so patiently and loving us so loudly.' Rosé wiped tears from her eyes as she held the trophy, while Lisa pumped her fist and pointed to the audience section packed with fans waving pink light sticks.

Korean media outlets reported that the Inkigayo studio audience erupted into chants of 'BLACKPINK in your area' as the group performed their encore stage, a moment that quickly went viral across multiple platforms. According to Yonhap News, the group's comeback has been one of the most talked-about entertainment events of early 2026.

What 'GO' Means for BLACKPINK's Comeback Era

Released on March 5 as the lead single from their upcoming third studio album, 'GO' blends hard-hitting hip-hop verses with an anthemic pop chorus that has already drawn comparisons to their earlier mega-hits. The music video surpassed 100 million YouTube views within 48 hours of release, setting a new record for the group.

Industry analysts note that BLACKPINK's synchronized comeback — with all four members fully committed to group activities after completing individual projects — has generated a level of excitement rarely seen in the K-pop landscape. Their upcoming world tour, set to kick off in Seoul later this month, has already sold out multiple dates across Asia and North America.

With the first music show win now secured, BLINKs are setting their sights on a potential sweep across other major programs including M Countdown, Music Bank, and Show! Music Core in the coming weeks. If the current momentum holds, BLACKPINK's 2026 could become their most decorated year yet.
