Blackpink

BLACKPINK, as their name suggests, revel in contrasts—tough and feminine, supercharged riffs and sugary vocal melodies, hard-edged beats and floating-on-air whistles.

It’s a mix that has helped the foursome become one of K-pop’s biggest girl groups, storming their way through bangers like the glitchy “DDU-DU DDU-DU” and the scorching “Kill This Love” as well as collaborating with fellow pop A-listers Dua Lipa and Lady Gaga.

Brought together in 2016 by K-pop powerhouse YG Entertainment, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo became superstars almost instantly, standing apart from their peers because of their melding of hip-hop rhythms, electro-pop sizzle, and girl-power spirit, as well as their high-concept fashion sense.
