BLACKPINK is a South Korean group formed in 2016 by YG Entertainment. Members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé debuted with the mini album "Square One" in August 2016. The songs "Boombayah" and "Whistle" quickly gained great success in the South Korean Gaon Album Charts, but also in the American Billboard Charts.

The second single "Square Two" with the songs "Playing on Fire" and "Stay" also achieved great success in South Korea and America. This was followed by the single "As If It*s Your Last", whose music video was clicked over ten million times within 17 hours. After 46 days, the 100 million clicks were reached. German BLINKs also contributed here, as the music video was also featured in German media. Other hits include "DDU-DU DDU-DU", "Kill This Love" and "How You Like That".

Their first concert in November 2017 in Seoul was completely sold out after only two to three minutes and drew over 15,000 people on each of the two days. In May 2019, BLACKPINK performed at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin to a crowd of over 10,000.
