BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK is a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, consisting of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. They debuted on August 8, 2016 with the singles «Boombayah» and «Whistle», quickly establishing themselves as one of the fastest-rising acts in K-pop by topping international digital charts almost immediately.

The group's sound blends YG's signature hard-hitting hip-hop production with pop hooks, EDM drops, and elements of trap and R&B, giving tracks like «뚜두뚜두 (DDU-DU DDU-DU)», «Kill This Love», and «How You Like That» their aggressive, anthemic character, while songs such as «Lovesick Girls» and «마지막처럼 (AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST)» lean into more melodic, emotionally driven songwriting. Their name plays on the idea that prettiness is not everything, positioning the group around both style and skill.

BLACKPINK has become one of the most globally successful girl groups from Korea, breaking streaming and chart records, performing at major international festivals, and collaborating with Western pop artists, with tracks like «Ice Cream» reflecting their crossover appeal. Their combination of powerful choreography, striking visuals, and genre-blending production has made them central figures in K-pop's global expansion.
