BLACKPINK Marks 10 Years With Museum Collab, TXT's Yeonjun to Throw First Pitch at Dodger Stadium

BLACKPINK is turning 10, and the group is marking the milestone in a way that feels genuinely thoughtful: a heritage collection made with Mujds, the official merchandise brand of Korea's National Museum of Korea.

YG Plus announced on August 5 that the BLACKPINK Heritage Collection is now available, developed in collaboration with Mujds to honor the decade BLACKPINK has spent as one of K-pop's defining acts. The collection reinterprets traditional Korean objects, including fans and combs, across seven items, each given a contemporary design treatment that weaves in the group's visual identity. It's a quieter kind of anniversary statement than a comeback or a stadium tour, but the choice of the national museum as a partner gives it a weight that feels earned.

Starting August 8, select pieces from the collection will also be displayed inside the permanent exhibition hall of the National Museum of Korea in Seoul, giving fans a reason to visit in person.

TXT's Yeonjun is headed to Dodger Stadium. Big Hit Music confirmed that the Tomorrow X Together member will throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers game on August 13 (local time), held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

The appearance puts Yeonjun in notable company: BTS's V and South Korean football star Son Heung-min have both thrown first pitches at the same venue in recent years, making it something of an unofficial landmark for Korean cultural figures visiting LA.

Yeonjun will also perform at the Korean Cultural Heritage Night, an annual event the Dodgers host to celebrate Korean culture, held the same evening. It's a strong double appearance for TXT's most internationally visible member at a moment when the group's global profile continues to grow.

i-dle's music video for "Nxde" has crossed 400 million views on YouTube, Cube Entertainment announced. Released in October 2022 as the title track of the group's fifth mini-album I Love, the song used the word "nude" as a metaphor for authenticity, presenting an unfiltered, unpolished version of the self. The visual and concept made an immediate impression on release, and the video has clearly held its audience's attention in the years since.

This marks the second i-dle music video to reach 400 million views, after "Queencard." The group will also hold a solo concert at Macau's Galaxy Arena on August 29 and 30.
