K-pop Korner

 What you need to know about Blackpink according to People Magazine

 


The K-pop group Blackpink continues to rise in international popularity. People magazine recently ran a full article about the group, and it is unusual for an American magazine to devote so much space to a foreign music group. According to the People Magazine article Blackpink is different from other K-pop groups because:

Between their debut in 2016 and the 2020 release of The Album, Blackpink released fewer than 22 songs, all singles. Despite the small discography, the group's glam look and fun choreography were quickly replicated by other K-pop groups and fans in their social media videos.

The biggest part of Blackpink's popularity lies in their songs, which talk about independence and vulnerability, bilingual lyrics, and undeniable stage presence. Blackpink is also known for the styling of their videos, otherwise referred to as 'concepts' for each song. Where some K-pop videos might have two or three concepts in their music videos, Blackpink will often have five or six completely different concepts (complete with different hair colors and clothing) featured in their video.
