LEGO Ideas 21339 BTS Dynamite creator takes BLACKPINK project to 10K

One of the builders behind 21339 BTS Dynamite has taken another K-pop music video to the LEGO Ideas review stage, this time inspired by BLACKPINK.

BangtanBricks co-designed the original submission for this year’s BTS set with Josh Bretz, and has now collaborated with By The Power of fusion on BLACKPINK: How You Like That. Again based on an international hit single, the model recreates the music video for How You Like That, which currently has more than 1 billion views on YouTube.

Recorded and released by South Korean girl group BLACKPINK in 2020, the song broke several records, including the most views within 24 hours (some 86.3 million) for a music video on YouTube. It’s a similar success story to BTS’s Dynamite, which was presumably the catalyst for BangtanBricks to roll the LEGO Ideas dice again with this build.

The project was originally uploaded to the crowdsourcing platform on February 28, so has taken just over a month to reach the 10,000 votes mark. It will now progress to the first 2023 review, where it becomes the 57th project in the running – equalling the record number of projects in a single review, currently held by the first 2021 review.

Whether the LEGO Group decides to bring BLACKPINK: How You Like That to store shelves will likely hinge on the sales performance of 21339 BTS Dynamite, but it’s not the only music video in this review: a project based on One Direction’s What Makes You Beautiful racked up the required votes in just four days.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
