In celebration of Blackpink’s fifth-anniversary debut, YG Entertainment has announced the launch of Blackpink Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

It will be officially called “In Your Area Island” and will feature all sorts of designs and items made especially for Blinks, Blackpink’s fandom.

Blinks will surely be delighted upon visiting the virtual island. YG Entertainment has designed furniture sets, items, and clothes to celebrate Blackpink’s fifth anniversary in the K-pop industry.

The 35-second teaser opened with a DJ booth with a huge “Welcome In Your Area” sign in front of it.

The scene then transitioned to show a red race-car bed amidst an orchard of cherry trees as a nod to Jisoo’s part in “Ice Cream”.

To top it all off, there’s a big Blackpink stage at the center of the island similar to “The Show”, the K-pop group’s livestreamed concert.
