ABOUT BLACKPINK/YG

BLACKPINK is a global artist from YG Entertainment consisting of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA. BLACKPINK, who captivated the public at the same time as its debut single [SQUARE ONE] was released in August 2016, has since become the world’s top group by making big hits with each song released such as ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’ and ‘Kill This Love’.

Thanks to this success, BLACKPINK became the first Korean girl group to be invited to the Coachella Festival, the largest music festival in the United States, in both 2019 and 2023, establishing an unrivalled position in the global music market. In October 2020, BLACKPINK won trophies at numerous awards ceremonies by hitting various global charts, including the U.S. Billboard, with their first full-length album ‘THE ALBUM’. In particular, the album became the first million-seller of the female K-pop group in history, reaching the record of 1.3 million copies of sales volume.

BLACKPINK then wrote a unique new history with their second full-length album [BORN PINK], which was released in 2022. The album has set the record of 2.82 million copies of sales volume, letting BLACKPINK the honour to have the title as the first K-pop girl group to become a ‘double million-seller’. The album also topped the U.S. Billboard 200 and the U.K. official album charts at the same time. This is the first achievement of an Asian female artist and also is the first milestone in 21 years among every girl group around the world.

Moreover, since October 2022, BLACKPINK [BORN PINK] tour, which has been held 66 times in 34 cities for about a year, drew 1.8 million audiences. This is the highest figure ever for a K-POP girl group. If the Coachella Festival in which the girls performed as the first Asian headliner (250,000 total) and Hyde Park in the U.K. (65,000) are added, they have worked with 2.115 million music fans.

BLACKPINK’s influence as a global top artist is getting stronger day by day. They have expanded their influence through continuous collaboration with global pop stars, and all four members are active as ambassadors for famous fashion and beauty brands as representative style icons leading the trend. In addition, the number of subscribers to BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel surpassed 99 million, ranking first in the field among both male and female artists around the world.

In July 2025, BLACKPINK made history as the first K-pop girl group to perform at Goyang Sports Complex. The group has embarked on a large-scale world tour, with 33 concerts across 16 cities in stadium venues throughout North America, Europe/UK, and Asia. The quartet also announced the release of a new album, a move expected to further cement their status as a top global act.

Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters Launches Today on Steam

[Indonesia – January 16] – The streets of New Rise City are officially open. Indonesian indie studios SeblaccSoft and YSY Softworks have launched Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters, a high-octane action roguelite where enemies learn from every move, today on PC via Steam.

Built as a fast, high-pressure action roguelite, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters challenges players to survive a city that actively pushes back. Combat is tight, aggressive, and constantly shifting, blending classic 2D arcade responsiveness with modern roguelite pacing where every slash, shot, and dash matters.

At the core of the experience is Bail Force’s Adaptive Combat System, a mechanic that ensures no strategy stays safe for long. Enemies dynamically analyze how players fight and evolve in real time. Favor ranged weapons and foes will close the distance. Lean too heavily on melee or evasive play, and enemies will shift their positioning and behavior to counter it. Rather than static encounters, each run becomes a constant tactical back-and-forth as New Rise City learns from the player.

Runs are supported by a modular Add-On Upgrade System, allowing players to customize weapons, movement, and abilities mid-hunt. Add-Ons provide passive bonuses and active enhancements that enable powerful synergies, last-second pivots, and risk-reward experimentation as challenges escalate.

As an action roguelite, Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters is built for replayability. Procedurally generated city hunts remix layouts, enemy encounters, and combat scenarios so no two runs play quite the same. Each hunt offers new challenges and opportunities to refine tactics against ever-adapting enemies.

Threaded through every run is a dual-protagonist narrative set in a dystopian metropolis ruled by crime lords and corporate enforcers. Players step into the boots of two elite bounty hunters: Angel, a driven student out for revenge, and Lea, a sharp-edged survivor chasing her next big payout. Their missions collide as both track the most dangerous crime lord in New Rise City, with choices, combat tendencies, and protagonist selection shaping branching story paths and multiple endings.

Bail Force: Cyberpunk Bounty Hunters is out now on Steam for $9.99 USD, launching with a 20% discount for a limited time. Step into New Rise City today and follow SeblaccSoft and YSY Softworks.
