It’s hard to believe that Blackpink’s been in the K-pop world for nearly five years now, but the popular girl group is celebrating their fifth anniversary this summer in a big way.

Earlier this week, the quartet revealed it’d be releasing Blackpink The Movie in August as part of its “4+1” anniversary project, and released an announcement video today to kick things off with a look back over the last five years of their music and activities from the K-pop act.

The movie premiere is set to coincide with Blackpink’s anniversary on August 8, and will be playing in theatres across the world in over 100 regions and countries.

According to the band’s 4+1 Project website, the movie will feature past live performances by the group and take a look back at the band’s memories and thoughts since their formation in 2016.

Additional details regarding other celebratory events have yet to be announced, but according to the website, the 4+1 Project is “a gift for [fandom] Blink and an event that will be held so the fan can enjoy Blackpink’s passionate performances”.
