The South Korean girl group, dubbed the “biggest girl group in the world”, consists of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. BLACKPINK became the first Korean group to headline Coachella earlier this year.
Their sophomore album Born Pink was released in September last year through YG Entertainment and Interscope Records. The girls dipped into hip hop, pop, rock, and EDM on the genre-spanning album. The album peaked at number 1 in several countries including South Korea, the US, Canada, Croatia, Portugal, and UK – making the band the first K-pop Girl Group to land a UK number one album.
