This performance marks a significant step in the group’s deliberate strategy to expand its international footprint, particularly into the European market, building on their established reputation for unique concepts and compelling storytelling.
The event, a high-profile platform, underscores the industry’s recognition of Billlie’s potential for global growth.
A Government-Led Global Showcase
The Korea Spotlight 2025 event is an overseas music promotion program that is jointly hosted by South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and organized by the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
This government backing signifies that the participating teams, including Billlie (comprised of members Siyoon, Sheon, Tsuki, Moon Sua, Haram, Suhyeon, and Haruna), were carefully chosen for possessing both strong public appeal and high global growth potential.
The group took the stage on November 25th, 2025 (local time), in Spain, demonstrating their ability to operate on major international platforms.

Adding to the excitement, the group prepared a special, exclusive performance tailored solely for the Korea Spotlight event.
Having built a strong reputation for delivering highly conceptual and meticulously produced stages, this unique segment was highly anticipated, allowing Billlie to showcase new facets of their artistry and production capabilities to a foreign audience.
Expanding K-Pop’s Reach into Europe
Billlie’s appearance in Spain is part of a broader, successful string of overseas activities that highlights the group’s rapid global ascent across diverse cultural regions.
Over the course of 2025, the group has significantly increased its international visibility, securing official invitations and major performance slots at:

The success of this performance is expected to generate even more interest and opportunities for the group in the coming year as they continue their global journey.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa has achieved a monumental milestone in the convergence of music and digital entertainment, becoming the first K-pop artist ever to headline a major season of the popular Fortnite Festival.
In a strategic collaboration with Epic Games, the global superstar is set to be the main focus of Season 12 of the in-game event, confirming her status not just as a music icon, but as a leading figure in global pop culture that transcends traditional entertainment platforms.
This move is a powerful affirmation of K-pop’s reach and influence within the massive global gaming community.
A Historic First for K-Pop in the Metaverse
The significance of Lisa headlining the Fortnite Festival cannot be overstated. By securing this position, she joins an exclusive roster of international music heavyweights who have previously partnered with the game, including artists like Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Daft Punk, and Sabrina Carpenter.
Lisa’s inclusion marks the first time a K-pop artist has been given the prestigious headliner role, cementing K-pop’s continued expansion into one of the world’s most popular digital spaces.
The Fortnite Festival is the game’s dedicated music mode, which functions similarly to classic rhythm games like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, allowing players to perform songs using rhythm notes.
By centering Season 12 around Lisa, Epic Games is directly appealing to the massive and dedicated global K-pop fandom, known as BLINKs, providing them with a completely unique, interactive way to engage with their idol’s music and aesthetic.
