An Indian fan named Deeksha Balakrishnan reveals how she started getting into Kpop and BLACKPINK’s music. 

Read her letter below:

Dear Eonni,

I am Deeksha from India. When I was in my childhood, I used to wonder about how angels exist in this world. I thought it was totally a myth. But when I heard your 'square up' album for the first time, a new kind of feeling bloomed in my heart. It was totally a new different kind of feeling. Day by day I started hearing your songs from one by one. I surfed youtube about you. I came to know about each of you. I like the way how you treat other kpop idols. I was kinda mesmerized. I totally experienced your growth day by day. I am an Indian and you are Korean. Many people discouraged me and tried to pull me down but you guys brought me up through your music. They even told me that I'm wasting my time hearing songs which I don't understand. But you guys really taught me that music has no barrier. I learnt how to be brave like jisoo, be classy like rosé, be talented like Lisa and to bounce back like Jennie unnie. I don't hear anybody who hates you and spreads negativity. I am waiting to attend your concert. If you had a concert in India I'll be the first to get ticket.

Love,

Deeksha Balakrishnan
