AceShowbiz - BLACKPINK successfully caused fans frenzy when they appeared on U.S. television for the first time in the early morning hours of Tuesday, February 12. Stopping by "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", the South Korean sweethearts performed their smash hit "DDU-DU DDU-DU", which became their first track to chart on Billboard's Hot 100.
As if entertaining their fans in the Unites States with their TV performance wasn't enough for them, BLACKPINK announced the North American tour dates for their "In Your Area" world tour during their appearance on the show. The leg is set to kick off during Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, where they are set to perform on April 12. It will conclude on May 8 in Ft. Worth, Texas.
While the show was airing, the hashtag "BLACKPINKonLSCC" was trending worldwide on Twitter. The late night show's official Twitter account even jokingly declared that it had become "a BLACKPINK stan account."
