Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa are members of BLACKPINK, a hugely popular music group. They debuted in August 2016 with 'Square One' under YG Entertainment. Their song "Boombayah" topped the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, making it the most-viewed debut music video by a Korean act.
"Ddu-Du Ddu Du'' propelled BLACKPINK to new heights, peaking at number 55 on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement made them the highest-charting female K-Pop group on the prestigious chart. Additionally, they became the first K-Pop girl group to both enter and top the Billboard Emerging Artists chart. Following their success, BLACKPINK collaborated with renowned artists including Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez.
In December, BLACKPINK members Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé parted ways with YG Entertainment for individual projects, while simultaneously extending their contract with the management group to continue their group activities.
