Blackpink, formed by YG Entertainment in 2016, is a South Korean girl group that has rapidly ascended to global prominence, often hailed as the “biggest girl group in the world.” Comprising four talented members—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—Blackpink has become a leading force in the Korean Wave, embodying themes of self-confidence and female empowerment through their music and image. Their debut single album, “Square One,” featured chart-topping hits like “Whistle” and “Boombayah,” marking a historic entry into both South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart and the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart.

Following their successful debut, Blackpink continued to break records with subsequent releases. Their single “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du” made history as the first song by a Korean female group to enter the UK Singles Chart and achieve RIAA certification. The group’s music videos have consistently set records, with “Kill This Love” and “How You Like That” each becoming the most-viewed music videos within the first 24 hours of release. Their innovative sound, characterized by a blend of EDM, pop, and hip-hop, has captivated audiences worldwide.

Blackpink’s commercial success is underscored by their studio albums, “The Album” and “Born Pink,” both of which broke sales records in South Korea and topped international charts, including the Billboard 200. Their global influence is further highlighted by their historic performances at major events like Coachella, where they became the first Asian act to headline, and their record-breaking concert tours, which have drawn millions of fans.

Beyond music, Blackpink has made significant strides in fashion and philanthropy, serving as ambassadors for luxury brands and advocating for climate change awareness. Their impact on the music industry and popular culture has earned them numerous accolades, including the title of Time’s 2022 Entertainer of the Year. With a dedicated fanbase and a commitment to empowering messages, Blackpink continues to redefine the landscape of K-pop and global music.
