K-POP QUEENS with undeniable presence

HISTORY HISTORY BlackPink is a South Korean four member girl group from YG entertainment. They're a more recent group that debuted on August 8th, 2016.

Their fandom name is BLINK. The quartet consists of JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA. In 2019, BLACKPINK became the first female K-pop act invited to perform at Coachella, the largest music festival in the U.S. When Blackpink debuted, their label YG Entertainment said the name intends to convey that the group embodies more than beauty, there's a toughness, too. Pink is commonly used to portray prettiness, but BLACKPINK actually means to say that 'Pretty isn’t everything.' It also symbolizes that they are a team that encompasses not only beauty, but also great talent.

S i n c e

The four queens debuted in 2016 with the mini album Square One, which consisted of only two songs — "Whistle" and "Boombayah." The debut was heavily promoted in the K-pop scene as Blackpink was the first girl group from YG Entertainment in seven years.

"Boombayah" galloped straight out of the gate to hit No. 1 on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart, and their popularity continued with additional releases in the following year. In 2018, Blackpink made headlines again with their single "Ddu-Du DduDu" from the EP Square Up. A few months later, the group branched out by working with Dua Lipa on the track "Kiss and Make Up."

In the lore, before she joined K/DA she had disagreements in other musical groups before working alone to write her own music before reconnecting with Ahri to create K/DA. Her solo song is "Villain".
