Let’s check out some of the important aspects that make BLACKPINK impact way beyond their sensational music.
Eight years ago, no one could have possibly thought that a K-pop girl could rattle the world with their influence but BLACKPINK managed to do so effortlessly. As YG Entertainment’s much-anticipated girl group debut following the legendary 2NE1, they caught the industry’s attention even before their debut. Nevertheless, without each member’s tremendous contribution to the band’s success, BLACKPINK would not be where it is today.
Composed of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, who debuted on August 8, 2016, the group entered the K-pop industry like trailblazers revolutionizing the genre and forever changing its image. With their singles, Boombayah and Whistle BLACKPINK set a standard right from the beginning and let the world know that they were here to stay.
Not just pushing boundaries within the K-pop industry but BLACKPINK also transformed the way K-pop was viewed on the international platform. Each member brought looks, fashion, and a strong presence to the table which made it hard for anyone to escape it. The members' influence and impact on the world have extended far beyond their music, elevating them to global icons and setting new standards for everyone.
