Blackpink (Hangul: 블랙핑크; commonly stylized as BLACKPINK or BLΛƆKPIИK) is a

South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, consisting of

single album Square One, which featured "Whistle" and "Boombayah", their first

Blackpink has broken numerous online records throughout their career. Their music

the most-viewed music video within the first 24 hours of release, with the latter breaking

Career
2010–2016: Formation and pre-debut activities
Blackpink began forming when YG Entertainment held tryouts worldwide for preteen or
teenage recruits to create a new girl group after launching its first major girl
group, 2NE1, in 2009. According to the members, joining the label as trainees was
similar to enrolling in a full-time pop-star academy, with Jennie calling it "more strict than
school" and Rosé comparing it to The X Factor with dorm rooms. For members who had
left behind life outside of South Korea, the pace of training alongside the culture shock
was tough.[19] Preparations for Blackpink's debut began as early as 2011 when YG
Entertainment revealed on November 14, 2011 that the label's new girl group would
debut in the early half of 2012 featuring at least seven members. [20] From then, there
were numerous news and rumors surrounding the new girl group about their debut
being delayed but there was no official information. [21][22] It was only until May 18, 2016
that YG Entertainment confirmed the new girl group, stating that the members were
selected through years of stiff competition and confirming that the debut would be in
July.[23] The label later confirmed that Jang Hanna and Moon Sua, who were introduced
to the public as potential members of the new girl group, were not included in the debut
lineup.[24][25]
Jennie was the first member revealed to be in the group on June 1. [26] Jennie joined YG
Entertainment as a trainee in 2010 after moving back to South Korea from New
Zealand.[27] In 2012, she was introduced to the public for the first time through a photo
titled "Who's that girl?" via the official blog of YG Entertainment on April 10. [28] Jennie
continued to be promoted as a member of the new girl group with multiple
collaborations, such as starring in G-Dragon's 2012 music video "That XX" from One of
a Kind EP and featuring in G-Dragon's "Black" from 2013 album Coup d'etat, and Lee
Hi's "Special" from 2013 album First Love.[29][30][31] Lisa was revealed to be the second
member on June 8, 2016.[32] Lisa was the only individual among 4,000 applicants to pass
the 2010 YG Entertainment audition in her native Thailand, becoming the first foreign
trainee to join the label in 2011.[27] She was first introduced in 2012 with a video that was
posted on YG Entertainment's official YouTube channel titled "Who's That Girl???".
[32]
 Lisa also appeared in the music video for Taeyang's "Ringa Linga" in 2013. She then
took on her first modelling job in 2015 for street-wear brand Nona9on, following by
modelling for cosmetics brand Moonshot in 2016.[33]
On June 15, Jisoo was revealed to be the third member. Jisoo joined YG Entertainment
as an trainee in July 2011. She appeared in several advertisements and music videos in
her pre-debut years, including "Spoiler + Happy Ending" (2014) from Epik High's studio
album Shoebox and Hi Suhyun's music video "I'm Different" (2014). She also made
a cameo appearance in 2015 drama The Producers.[34] Rosé was revealed to be a
member on June 22, 2016. She ranked first among 700 applicants in the 2012 YG
Entertainment audition in Australia, which then resulted in a trainee contract with the
label and a move to Seoul to begin her training.[27] She was featured in G-Dragon's track
"Without You" from One of a Kind EP in 2012 as "? from YG New Girl Group". However,
her featuring vocals and identity was kept secret for almost four years until her first
official public introduction when it was revealed that she participated in the song. [35]

The official logo of Blackpink

On June 29, YG Entertainment confirmed that the new girl group would include four
members instead of the originally planned nine members, and revealed Blackpink as
the group's official name.[36] According to a representative, Blackpink meant "pretty isn't
everything" and symbolized that "they are a team that encompasses not only beauty,
but also great talent."[37] Jisoo later disclosed in a press conference that they almost
debuted as 'Pink Punk', 'Baby Monster' or 'Magnum'. [38] Blackpink released their first
dance practice video on July 6 to great attention from viewers. [39] On July 29, YG
Entertainment confirmed that Blackpink's debut would be on August 8, 2016. [40]

Wave around the world.[19][137][138][139] Blackpink were cited by Rolling Stone as the one

acts leading the Korean music industry growth by the International Federation of the
Phonographic Industry (IFPI).[141] Blackpink have appeared in multiple power listings and

Blackpink's influence beyond music, especially in South Korea, extends to fashion.
[153]
 Each member has served as ambassadors for different luxury brands: Jisoo for Dior,
[154]
 Jennie for Chanel,[155] Rosé for Saint Laurent as a global ambassador,[156] and Lisa
for Bulgari and Celine as the brand's global ambassador.[157][158] Additionally, Blackpink
have been credited for drawing international attention to South Korea's traditional
costume hanbok through their stylish, modern re-interpretations of the costume in their
"How You Like That" music video and stage performances. [159][160] Blackpink's image
emphasized on fashion and individuality, both on and off stage. "Fashion definitely
empowers us as much as music does," Jennie shared in an group interview
with Elle U.S. magazine. Music and fashion "cannot be separated," Rosé added.
[131]
 While they demonstrate the uniformity typical in girl group outfits, Blackpink stands
out from other K-pop bands with each member's outfit having a twist of their own
personal style in it.[161]
