Girl group Blackpink finished off a festive night at the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes charity event organized by the first lady of France, Brigitte Macron, on Wednesday in Paris.

As the first-ever K-pop band to be invited to the annual charity event, Blackpink finished off a night of performances by major pop stars, including Pharrell Williams and Mika.

The quartet performed its latest hits "Shut Down" (2022) and "Pink Venom" (2022), accompanied by live music by cellist Gautier Capucon and violinist Daniel Lozakovich.

The performance was recorded on Wednesday and aired on the France 2 channel on Saturday.

Blackpink is currently on its world tour, "Born Pink World Tour," and will also headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Hyde Park British Summer Time (BST) festival.
