BlackPink in your area? More like BlackPink in your school area. The most popular girl group in South Korea, ranking number one on the charts. Under YG Entertainment, BlackPink has accomplished and won many awards such as Mnet Asian Music Award for Best of Next, Golden Disc Award Song Division and many more. Even though they’ve been together for 3 years, they have won the hearts of millions of boys and girls with their dancing and singing. This group is formed of four beautiful and talented girls. Kim Jisoo, Jennie Kim, Lalisa Manoban or just Lisa, and Park Chae Young or just Rosé. How did they become idols? Let’s find out.

Jennie Kim is the third oldest member of BlackPink. She joined YG Entertainment at the young age of 14. In the beginning, Jennie didn’t know how to sing very well, but she underwent six years of training and developed rapping and vocal skills. With her good looks and her amazing rapping/vocal skills, Jennie became know as the YG princess and their secret weapon. However, being the YG princess isn’t as great as it sounds. It has been known that she is favored by her entertainment company and is given more opportunities than the other members. Jennie is also known for getting the best outfits so that she’ll stand out more than the other members. Now in 2019, Jennie got the opportunity to go solo. With her new hit song ”Solo”, she has earned more publicity than the other members.

Kim Jisoo is the oldest of the group. At the age of 16, Jisoo joined YG Entertainment.  She underwent five years of vocal training becoming the lead vocalist and visual of BP (BlackPink). Unlike Jennie, Jisoo hardly gets any attention. YG treats her more like one of the staff rather than an idol. They show zero respect for her. It’s honestly wrong of them to do this. All members should be treated equally.

Park Chae Young, known as Rose, is the second vocalist in BlackPink. Rose joined YG Entertainment at the age of 15. Her father heard about YG holding auditions for a female group and sent her on the next flight to South Korea. According to YG Entertainment, Rose is known for having a unique voice in the group. She’s been singing since she was little so she didn’t need that much vocal training. She’s a natural. Rose has collaborated with many popular artists. Her future holds something wonderful.

Lalisa Manoban, also known as Lisa, is the maknae or youngest member of BlackPink. At the age of 14, Lisa joined YG Entertainment. Lisa is the main dancer of the group. She’s been training since she was in middle school. Lisa isn’t like the rest of the members since she had to learn Korean due to the fact that she was born in Thailand, not South Korea. However, she adapted and learned the language. Just like Jennie, Lisa is going solo. But instead of singing, she’ll be dancing.

In the end, BlackPink is disbanding this year (2019). They’ve had an amazing few years. Blinks, their fans, have noticed that the group is drifting out and starting to do their own thing. Jennie and Lisa are going solo. Rose is starting to sing with other popular artists and doing her own covers. As for Jisoo, nobody really knows what her next step is going to be. She might continue singing, she might not. No matter what path the members of BlackPink choose, Blinks will always support them.
