BLACKPINK and Kim Heechul Play PUBG Mobile With Other Game Streamers in 'Fun Match'
All BLACKPINK members and Super Junior's Heechul were invited as guests in PUBG Mobile's 'Fun Match' gameplay show, along with popular game streamers.
On November 3, PUBG Mobile uploaded two photos on its official Twitter account revealing that the well-known K-Pop girl group from YG Entertainment and a famous male idol from SM Entertainment will be appearing on its gameplay show, together with DDEDDEDEDDE and BEENU.
On that same day, game streamer DDEDDEDEDDE shared a group pic showing him and BEENU, alongside Kim Heechul and BLACKPINK members Jisoo, Rose, and Jennie, who's holding the phone. In the caption, the game streamer wrote, "Is this a dream? We took a quick group photo together during a break, but Lisa-nim had left her seat for a minute so I'm sad she's not in the picture. I'm also a big fan of Lisa-nim. It was such an honor to meet everyone today, I will definitely go to your concert."
BLACKPINK and Heechul with the two other game streamers started recording for PUBG Mobile's 'Fun Match' gamplay show on that day. The segment is expected to air sometime this month through PUBG Mobile's Facebook and YouTube channels. No other info about it has been announced yet.
Last September 17, PUBG Mobile confirmed that they will be having a collaboration with world-renowned K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK by uploading a poster showing all four members of the band, Jennie Kim, Lalisa Manoban, Kim Jisoo, and Roseanne Park. This collaboration led to having plenty of exciting features to the battle royal game, such as a BLACKPINK theme visual, billboard, airdrop and airplane skin, lobby music, and many more.
Players also had the chance to win signed BLACKPINK albums by providing in-game gifts to the girl group's members. Top supporters will even get an in-game outfit. In addition, PUGB Mobile also unveiled the character IDs of Jennie, Rose, Jisoo, and Lisa.
Furthermore, last July, BLACKPINK's song 'Playing with Fire' was incorporated into the game. Players were able to hear the track in selected areas in the game's maps.

Mountain Dew vending machines were spotted in the Erangel map and can be used to grab some goods, including level-three vests, helmets, and others. A Mountain Dew-themed event also went live and offered DEW T-shirt and parachute.
PUGB Mobile also teamed up with British-Norwegian DJ Alan Walker. As a result, the single "On My Way" can be heard in the game throughout a day ahead of its worldwide launch. Walker even took part in a showmatch in Berlin, Germany at the PUBG Mobile Club Open.
