Describing their work, the story reads: “BLACKPINK’s music projects an explosive, larger-than-life force that’s both invigorating and addictive. They make serious bangers, mixing powerful hip-hop beats with house, EDM, and more.” 

“Their videos are filled with bursts of color and inventive dancing, embodying YG’s characteristic dedication to ‘swag’ – a term emblazoned in large letters in one of the company’s bathrooms – and fiercely independent womanhood,” the story read.

BLACKPINK made their debut in August 2016 with their single album Square One. They released their first full-length Korean studio album The Album in October 2020.

Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa have also released solo music, while Jisoo has appeared in the K-drama Snowdrop. – Rappler.com
