El termino K-pop surge por el movimiento de la cultura joven y (K) de Korean (Coreano en ingles); en resumen es la abreviatura de Korean Pop o Pop Coreano. Es un género de música que tuvo sus orígenes especialmente en Corea del Sur ya que prácticamente no hay una industria de música popular en Corea del Norte. Ya que Corea del Norte tiene un estricto régimen de gobierno comunista, por lo que las relaciones con Corea del Sur son muy pocas, así que cuando se habla de cantantes coreanos se da como sobrentendido que se habla de Corea del Sur.
Nombre: BLACKPINK / BLΛƆKPIИK (Internacional). ¿Por qué 'BLACKPINK'?: Es una contradicción de la percepción común del color rosa. El rosa comúnmente es usado para representar lo lindo, pero BLACKPINK quiere decir que "lo lindo no lo es todo". Además, simboliza que ellas son un equipo que engloba no solo la belleza sino también un gran talento. Origen: Corea del Sur. Número de integrantes: 4 chicas, (2 coreanas, 1 australiana y 1 tailandesa). Debut: 08 de agosto del 2016. Agencia: YG Entertainment
El 1 de junio del 2016, YG Entertainment empezó a revelar nuevas imágenes para anunciar oficialmente el debut de las chicas. Cada semana se revelaba una integrante, empezando por la que se cree será la líder del grupo, Jennie, quien colaboró anteriormente con artistas de su misma agencia. El 8 de junio se reveló a Lisa, la chica misteriosa que sorprendió a muchos con un vídeo de YouTube subido en el canal de la propia agencia. El 15 de junio revelaron a Jisoo, la mayor del grupo, quien modeló para varias marcas publicitarias, apareció en distintos videoclips e hizo un cameo en The Producers en su etapa pre-debut. El 22 de junio revelaron a Rosé, la última integrante, quien colaboró con G-Dragon en el 2012 mostrando su poderosa voz con la canción "Without You".
