K-pop girl group Blackpink is the greatest girl group on the planet right now.

The group is set to perform their first livestream concert "The Show" on YouTube this Sunday at 2 PM KST. Furthermore, one of the members, Rosé, will be premiering her solo debut song during the upcoming online concert.

On Thursday, the Korean girl group offered BLINK (the name of the group's fandom) the opportunity to check out the upcoming performance with a phenomenal appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden".

Blackpink previously appeared on the show in April 2019.

The group’s 2020 debut album "The Album" was set to be paired with a blockbuster world tour, however, the ongoing pandemic derailed those plans, Blackpink decided to translate the spectacle into a livestream concert.

In a Zoom interview with Rolling Stone, Blackpink members Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa said fans should expect multiple surprises.

“We want it to be a secret. It’s our first online concert too, so we are trying to take advantage of that and create stages that wouldn’t be possible if we were going to do it live — especially regarding choreography — and make it ‘Blackpink',” Jennie said in December.

"The Show" wasn’t announced until December 2020, but it had been in the works for at least eight months.

The setlist will comprise 15 to 20 songs, though it isn’t set in stone yet, “It changes all the time,” Lisa told Rolling Stone.

However, Jisoo confirmed that all eight songs from "The Album" would be included.
