Blackpink (Korean: 블랙핑크; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by
YG Entertainment. The group is composed of four members:
Jisoo,
Jennie,
Rosé, and Lisa. Regarded by various publications as the "biggest girl group in the world", they are recognized as a leading force in the Korean Wave and an ambassador of the "girl crush" concept in K-pop, which explores themes of self-confidence and female empowerment.
Blackpink debuted in August 2016 with their single album Square One, which included "Whistle", their first number-one hit on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart, and "Boombayah", their first number-one on the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart. The group achieved an international breakthrough with "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" (2018), which topped South Korean charts and marked the first song by a Korean female group to enter the UK Singles Chart and receive a certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Its music video was the first by a Korean group to surpass one and two billion views on YouTube. Their music videos for "Kill
This Love" (2019) and "
How You Like That" (2020) set records for the most-viewed videos within the first 24 hours of release; the latter topped the Circle Digital Chart and set multiple Guinness World Records.
Blackpink's debut studio album,
The Album (2020), was the first album by a Korean girl group to sell one million copies.
