Blackpink world domination!

Blackpink's Lisa has nothing but gratitude after the K-pop group attended the Korean State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday. 

On Instagram, the Blackpink member shared some snaps of her wearing an aquamarine gown while posing inside the Palace.

"It has been such a great honor to be part of this special Korean State Banquet at the Buckingham Palace," she wrote in the caption.

The Blackpink members were invited to the state banquet hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla in honor of  South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee's state visit to the United Kingdom.

The group also received honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) medals bestowed by the King himself.

"It's amazing you're still talking to each other after all these years," King Charles jokingly said to the group at the ceremony.

"I hope I shall be able to see you perform live at some point."

Blackpink received the MBEs in recognition of the members' role as COP26 Advocates for the United Nations climate summit held in Glasgow in 2021, Buckingham Palace said.

Blackpink made history in July, becoming the first K-pop group to headline a major UK music festival and took to the stage at the BST Hyde Park summer festival in central London in front of a crowd of 65,000 for a sold-out concert.

The group is composed of Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo. They concluded the Born Pink world tour in support of their second studio album in September.
