Blog #21: Kpop Group - BLACKPINK

"BLACKPINK in your area,  BLACKPINK in your area!"



Blackpink consist of four members:
  • Jisoo (Kim Jisoo)
    • Lead Vocalist and Visual

  • Jennie (Jennie Kim)
    • Main Rapper, Lead Vocalist and Centre

  • Rose (Park Chae Young)
    • Main Vocalist and Lead Dancer

  • Lisa (Lalisa Manoban)
    • Main Dancer, Lead Rapper, Sub Vocalist and Maknae (Youngest member of the group)


They became the first girl group that debuted under YG Entertainment in seven years after 2NE1, with their debut single album Square One released on August 8, 2016. The two title trackers, "BOOMBAYAH" and "WHISTLE" charted at number one and two on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, and BLACKPINK are by far the fastest act to do so and the third Korean artist or group to hold the top two positions after PSY and BIG BANG.


Social media has been key to amping up anticipation for BLACKPINK's releases. The group's initially mysterious Instagram account gained tens of thousands of followers soon after it was launched in June 2016 thanks to shoutout from iconic label mates like G-Dragon. A month later, their debut was received with huge enthusiasm by both loyal YG Entertainment fans and general audiences. The formula of YG's marketing influence combined with the girls' undeniable catchy singles, captivating stage presence, strong vocal, and beautiful looks has moulded an ideal pop appeal that audiences worldwide can buy into.



The girls describe their connection with fans who don't understand Korean but still love their music as "an unfathomable feeling" that speaks to music's power of communication. "It really not just about the language but the mutual understanding that we're all capable of sharing whther you understand the words or not."



Anto.
