Jakarta, 21 January 2019 – In line with its commitment to bring people closer to the things that matter for them, Grab, the leading online-to-offline (O2O) mobile platform in Southeast Asia, invited 22 selected GrabCar and GrabBike driver-partners from various regions in Indonesia to watch a concert of the popular girl group from South Korea, BLACKPINK. The concert, entitled 2019 World Tour BLACKPINK in Your Area Jakarta, was held for two days from 19-20 January 2019 at ICE BSD Tangerang and brought unforgettable moments for Grab driver-partners.

Jennie and friends opened their first solo concert in Jakarta with their song “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” which instantly boosted the spirit of BLINK, the name of BLACKPINK fans, including Grab driver-partners who attended. BLINK’s enthusiasm got more intense when the four BLACKPINK members showcased various spectacular stage performances.

“It was unbelievable for me at first,” said Syaiful Anam, a GrabCar driver partner from Surabaya. “It felt like a dream came true. Grab team contacted and offered me the opportunity to watch the BLACKPINK concert – such a rare experience! I really enjoyed the whole show from beginning until the end. Moreover, I was very happy to meet fellow driver-partners and spend time together amid my daily routine and busy life on the road. So thank you, Grab!”

Nurmila, GrabBike driver-partner from Makassar, felt the same as a BLACKPINK fan. “I am glad because my first experience of watching a concert was watching a performance of my idols. It felt surreal that I could see them right in front of me, as usually I only listen to them from my mobile phone and sing along with my children, who are also BLINK. My children were also very happy to know that I got a free ticket to watch the BLACKPINK concert. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!”

Grab’s support as an Official Mobile Platform Partner for 2019 World Tour BLACKPINK in Your Area Jakarta is an extension of the Grab brand DNA, as a connector.
