The first rumors began to emerge when dataminers discovered information indicating that a group of female singers would make their debut in Fortnite in December 2025. HYPEX, a well-known leaker, suggested that this group could be BLACKPINK, especially after finding clues about the song "Sour Candy" by Lady Gaga, in collaboration with BLACKPINK, which would soon be available in the game.
However, other sources like ShiinaBR and Jorge_Most reported that it would ultimately not be BLACKPINK, but another female K-Pop group. Jorge_Most, who was behind the initial leaks, recently confirmed this information, leaving the identity of the group in question a mystery.
Since these revelations, attention has turned to NewJeans, an extremely popular K-Pop group in South Korea and internationally. They have already made an impact with a song created for the League of Legends Worlds, making them well-suited for a virtual concert in Fortnite.
Such an event would attract not only Fortnite players but also K-Pop fans worldwide. BLACKPINK, with its members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, had already proven their potential in the video game domain by organizing a virtual concert in PUBG Mobile in 2022. Their immense popularity on YouTube, with over 90 million subscribers, shows their ability to draw crowds.
Fortnite already has a solid experience in virtual concerts, having hosted memorable performances with artists like Travis Scott and Ariana Grande. A concert by BLACKPINK or another K-Pop group could become a flagship event, attracting even more players and fans.
Currently, the official details regarding this concert remain unclear. Fans eagerly await confirmation of the collaboration and the exact date of the event. If a group like NewJeans or BLACKPINK joins Fortnite, it's highly likely that this will also include exclusive skins and cosmetics, making the event even more exciting.
