Career

2010–2016: Formation and pre-debut activities

Blackpink began forming when YG Entertainment held tryouts worldwide for preteen or teenage recruits to create a new girl group after launching its first major one, 2NE1, in 2009. According to the members, joining the label as trainees was akin to enrolling in a full-time pop-star academy, with Jennie describing the experience as «more strict than school» and Rosé comparing it to The X Factor with dorm rooms. For members who had left their lives outside of South Korea, the pace of training alongside the culture shock was especially difficult.[19] Preparations for Blackpink’s debut began as early as 2011, when YG Entertainment revealed on November 14 that their new girl group would debut in the early half of 2012 and feature at least seven members.[20] Since then, numerous news and rumors surfaced surrounding the new girl group’s debut being delayed, although there had been no official information.[21][22] It was only on May 18, 2016, that YG Entertainment confirmed the girl group would debut that July, stating that the members were selected through years of stiff competition.[23] The label later confirmed that Jang Hanna and Moon Sua, who were introduced to the public as potential members of the new girl group, were not included in the lineup.[24][25]

Jennie was the first group member revealed, on June 1, 2016.[26] She joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in 2010 after moving back to South Korea from New Zealand.[27] She had been introduced to the public for the first time in 2012 in a photo titled «Who’s that girl?» on YG Entertainment’s website on April 10.[28] Jennie continued to be promoted as a member of the new girl group through multiple collaborations: she starred in G-Dragon’s 2012 music video for «That XX» from his One of a Kind EP and featured in the song «Black» from his 2013 album Coup d’etat (2013) and Lee Hi’s song «Special» from her album First Love (2013).[29][30][31]

Lisa was revealed as the new girl group’s second member on June 8, 2016.[32] She was the only individual among 4,000 applicants to pass the 2010 YG Entertainment audition in her native country Thailand and became the label’s first foreign trainee in 2011.[27] She was first introduced in May 2012 in a video that was posted on YG Entertainment’s YouTube channel, titled «WHO’S THAT GIRL???».[32] Lisa also appeared in the music video for Taeyang’s «Ringa Linga» in 2013. She became a spokesperson for street-wear brand Nona9on in 2015 and cosmetics brand Moonshot in 2016.[33]

Jisoo was revealed as the new group’s third member on June 15, 2016. She joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in July 2011 and appeared in several advertisements and music videos in her pre-debut years, including «Spoiler + Happy Ending» (2014) from Epik High’s studio album Shoebox and Hi Suhyun’s music video «I’m Different» (2014). She also made a cameo appearance in 2015 drama The Producers.[34]

Career

2010–2016: Formation and pre-debut activities

Blackpink began forming when YG Entertainment held tryouts worldwide for preteen or teenage recruits to create a new girl group after launching its first major one, 2NE1, in 2009. According to the members, joining the label as trainees was akin to enrolling in a full-time pop-star academy, with Jennie describing the experience as «more strict than school» and Rosé comparing it to The X Factor with dorm rooms. For members who had left their lives outside of South Korea, the pace of training alongside the culture shock was especially difficult.[19] Preparations for Blackpink’s debut began as early as 2011, when YG Entertainment revealed on November 14 that their new girl group would debut in the early half of 2012 and feature at least seven members.[20] Since then, numerous news and rumors surfaced surrounding the new girl group’s debut being delayed, although there had been no official information.[21][22] It was only on May 18, 2016, that YG Entertainment confirmed the girl group would debut that July, stating that the members were selected through years of stiff competition.[23] The label later confirmed that Jang Hanna and Moon Sua, who were introduced to the public as potential members of the new girl group, were not included in the lineup.[24][25]

Career

2010–2016: Formation and pre-debut activities

Blackpink began forming when YG Entertainment held tryouts worldwide for preteen or teenage recruits to create a new girl group after launching its first major one, 2NE1, in 2009. According to the members, joining the label as trainees was akin to enrolling in a full-time pop-star academy, with Jennie describing the experience as «more strict than school» and Rosé comparing it to The X Factor with dorm rooms. For members who had left their lives outside of South Korea, the pace of training alongside the culture shock was especially difficult.[19] Preparations for Blackpink’s debut began as early as 2011, when YG Entertainment revealed on November 14 that their new girl group would debut in the early half of 2012 and feature at least seven members.[20] Since then, numerous news and rumors surfaced surrounding the new girl group’s debut being delayed, although there had been no official information.[21][22] It was only on May 18, 2016, that YG Entertainment confirmed the girl group would debut that July, stating that the members were selected through years of stiff competition.[23] The label later confirmed that Jang Hanna and Moon Sua, who were introduced to the public as potential members of the new girl group, were not included in the lineup.[24][25]

BLACKPINK / BLΛƆKPIИK / Black Pink / 블랙핑크 — южнокорейский гёрлз-бэнд, в состав которого входит четыре участницы: Джису (Jisoo), Дженни (Jennie), Розэ (Rose) и Лиса (Lisa). Мультинациональный коллектив был образован лейблом YG Entertainment в 2016 году. Официальный дебют девушек состоялся 8 августа с сингл-альбомом «Square One».

Посмотреть клипы группы можно здесь.

С 1 июня 2016 YG Entertainment начали представлять участниц своей новой девичьей группы. Первой была представлена Дженни, ранее записавшая несколько треков совместно со старшими коллегами по агентству. 8 июня появилась информация о Лисе, привлекшей внимание еще в 2012 году и работавшей моделью для бренда NONA9ON. 15 июня прошло знакомство с Джису, самой старшей участницей группы, уже успевшей сняться в нескольких музыкальных клипах и рекламах. И наконец, 22 июня была представлена Розэ, участвовавшая в записи трека G-Dragon — «Without You». 29 июня были опубликованы совместные снимки девушек, и подтверждено название будущего коллектива — BLACKPINK. Первоначально дебют группы был запланирован на конец июля, но по неизвестным причинам его пришлось отложить на начало августа.

29 июля YG Entertainment выпустили новые фото-тизеры, сообщавшие точную дату дебюта — 8 августа 8 вечера. Позднее появилась информация о первом выступлении BLACKPINK, которое должно состояться 14 августа на сцене музыкального шоу «Inkigayo».
Начиная с 3 августа и до даты дебюта были сообщены все подробности относительно двух треков «BOOMBAYAH» и «Whistle», вошедших в первый сингл-альбом группы «Square One«. 8 августа поклонники смогли оценить два дебютных музыкальных клипа и скачать цифровой сингл.
Как стало известно, у BLACKPINK нет лидера. За время тренировок девушки подружились и готовы принимать совместные решения как полноценная группа.

Биография

Участницам группы BLACKPINK пришлось пройти нелегкий путь от стажеров музыкальной студии до кумиров миллионов. Сейчас их творчество любят во всем мире, а каждая песня становится хитом. Секрет не только в запоминающихся текстах и зажигательной хореографии, но и обаянии самих вокалисток.

История создания и состав

История южнокорейского коллектива началась задолго до того, как было объявлено о его создании. В далеком 2010 году представители компании YG Entertainment начали поиск молодых вокалисток, которые в будущем могли бы войти в состав девичьей группы. Изначально участниц планировалось 7, а среди рабочих названий было Pink Punk.

В числе первых к проекту присоединилась Ким Дженни, которая покорила судей своими танцевальными навыками. Девушка родилась в Южной Корее, но провела детство в Новой Зеландии и могла похвастаться знанием английского языка. Это было важным моментом, ведь продюсеры студии рассчитывали, что в будущем смогут покорить западную аудиторию.

В тот же год среди потенциальных айдолов оказалась Лиса Манобан — будущая макнэ группы. Артистка выросла в Таиланде и не знала корейского, что не помешало ей пройти отбор. Хотя изначально она не отличалась яркой внешностью, увлечение модой и макияжем помогли ей раскрыться с новой стороны.

Обе девушки начали проходить обучение в качестве стажеров, которым еще предстояло доказать, что они заслуживают места в группе. Заниматься приходилось по 12 часов в день, ежемесячно отчитываясь о своих успехах. Уже в процессе подготовки состав будущего коллектива пополнила Джису — старшая из участниц. Хотя вокалистка не знает английского, это не помешало ей приобрести фанатов по всему миру, благодаря «истинно корейской» красоте и сильному голосу.

Розэ стала участницей, с приходом которой завершилось формирование ядра коллектива. Певица предстала перед своими коллегами в образе романтичной австралийской девушки с гитарой, которая покорила их нежным и мелодичным голосом. По ее воспоминаниям, им всем легко удалось найти общий язык и даже не пришлось притворяться, что они нравятся друг другу.

С тех пор будущие звезды, как и другие стажеры, жили в общежитии, которое они описали как ужасное место с тараканами и многоножками. Артистки уставали на тренировках и порой даже голодали, но трудности сплотили их.

Все это время студия постоянно откладывала старт проекта, а в концепцию вносили изменения. Только в 2016 году было официально объявлено, что группе быть, но теперь уже в качестве квартета. Имена участниц раскрывали постепенно, сохраняя интригу. Но к этому моменту их лица уже были известны, поскольку девушки успели сняться в рекламных кампаниях и клипах других представителей YG Entertainment.

Музыка

Группа ворвалась в музыкальную индустрию с сингл-альбомом Square One, в который вошли треки Boombayah и Whistle, мгновенно поднявшиеся на верхние строчки Billboard World Digital Song. Среди корейских артистов подобного успеха ранее добивались только Psy и Big Bang. Уже тогда стало понятно, что BLACKPINK ждет большое будущее.

BLACKPINK — Whistle

Примечательно, что изначально руководство студии YG Entertainment было против выпуска песни Whistle. Ее сочли пустой и слишком слабой, чтобы стать хитом. Но участницам и их продюсеру Тедди Паку удалось отстоять композицию, которая покорила слушателей. Позднее она использовалась в качестве саундтрека к сериалу «Жирным шрифтом».

Не менее удачным стал сингл-альбом Square Two, содержавший треки Stay и Playing with Fire. После этого артистки регулярно радовали публику новыми выступлениями, каждое из которых превращалось в шоу, продуманное до мелочей: от танцев со сложной хореографией до нарядов участниц.

Неудивительно, что уже в конце 2016-го исполнительницы удостоились звания лучшей K-pop-группы от Billboard. А в следующем году они начали покорять Японию. Их первый альбом для японской аудитории получил емкое название Blackpink In Your Area. Эта фраза знакома каждому фанату BLACKPINK, ведь она часто звучит в их клипах.

BLACKPINK — DDu-Du DDu-Du

Но 2018-й запомнился не столько японским дебютом, сколько выходом EP Square Up. Его украшением была песня Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, ставшая визитной карточкой группы. Туда же вошел трек Forever Young, созданный задолго до релиза.

Закрепить успех помог выход композиции Kissand Make Up в сотрудничестве с популярной певицей Дуа Липой. После этого о группе заговорили слушатели из США, Великобритании и России, что открыло им дорогу далеко за пределы Кореи. Тогда же состоялся сольный дебют одной из участниц — Дженни записала трек SOLO.

В биографиях артисток 2019-й стал особенным годом. Они впервые выступили на фестивале «Коачелла», на который ранее мечтали попасть разве что в качестве зрительниц. Но в итоге BLACKPINK — первая женская корейская группа, удостоившаяся возможности выступить на подобном мероприятии. Это означало только одно — на Западе певицы уже стали звездами.

Вскоре участницы порадовали заметно увеличившуюся аудиторию фанатов очередным хитом — Kill This Love. За сутки после премьеры клипа он набрал свыше 50 млн просмотров, что стало новым рекордом. К этому моменту среди корейских музыкантов конкурировать с вокалистками могли разве что BTS.

Для того чтобы окончательно утвердиться на международном уровне, BLACKPINK не хватало только полноценного альбома, работой над которым они занялись в 2020 году. Первым синглом релиза стал How You Like That, вновь оказавшийся на вершинах музыкальных чартов.

BLACKPINK — Kill This Love

А уже в конце лета девушки порадовали поклонников легкой и веселой песней Ice Cream, записанной в сотрудничестве с американской поп-звездой Селеной Гомес. Певица осталась в восторге от совместной работы с кореянками, которые продемонстрировали трудолюбие и творческую активность.

Премьера альбома состоялась в октябре. Он получил простое название — The Album, но от этого не стал менее интересным. Отдельного восхищения слушателей удостоился трек Lovesick Girls, но с клипом возникли проблемы. Пришлось вырезать все сцены, в которых Ким Дженни одета в костюм медсестры, поскольку медицинские работники обрушили на студию обвинения в излишней сексуализации.

После этого планировалось провести онлайн-концерт, но из-за ужесточения правил безопасности для предотвращения распространения коронавируса пришлось перенести мероприятие на следующий год. Другим интернет-событием стал выход документального фильма «Blackpink: Озаряя небо».

BLACKPINK сейчас

В начале 2021 года состоялась долгожданный концерт, где, помимо песен с альбома, прозвучала сольная композиция Розэ Gone. Позднее певица презентовала еще один трек — On The Ground, а также клип к нему. Следующей на очереди стала Лиса, о чем продюсерская компания объявила летом.

BLACKPINK — How You Like That

Уже в августе группа отметила первый юбилей — 5 лет творчества. В честь этого был выпущен фильм «BLACKPINK в кино» о концертной и закулисной жизни вокалисток. Он был анонсирован в инстаграм-аккаунте коллектива, где публикуются новости и фото.

Интересные факты

  • Среди звездных поклонников коллектива — актеры Дилан О’Брайен и Уилл Смит, а также модель Джиджи Хадид.
  • Название BLACKPINK придумали участницы. Оно символизирует двойственность натуры. Black (черный) обозначат более темную, бунтарскую сторону, а pink (розовый) — нежную и женственную. Это стало основой для всей концепции проекта и выражается как в песнях, так и внешнем виде вокалисток. Лиса считает, лучше всего стиль группы отражает песня Pretty Savage.
  • Особенностью репертуара BLACKPINK является то, что их треки сочетают корейский и английский языки. Последний обычно используется для создания чернового варианта, но это сырой материал, лишенный привычного шарма. Окончательная версия позволяет в полной мере использовать вокальные данные каждой участницы.
  • Фанаты коллектива называют себя блинками. По словам артисток, они стараются прислушиваться к мнению поклонников, радовать их сюрпризами и подарками, ведь они вдохновляют творить и помогают расти в творческом плане.

На данный момент k-pop становится всё более популярным в странах СНГ, среди которых и Россия. Существует множество бой- и гёрл-бендов, которых любят слушать не только юная, но и взрослая аудитория. Одной из наиболее известных южнокорейских женских групп стала BLACKPINK, основанная в 2016.

Blackpink

Blackpink

BLACKPINK стали известны в России благодаря своим хитам «Kill This Love», «DDU-DU DDU-DU», «BOOMBAYAH». А недавно вышедший клип на «How You Like That» просто взорвал все чарты и набрал более 5-ти миллионов просмотров всего за пару часов.

Южнокорейская гёрл-группа BLACKPINK была основана в далёком 2016 году и существует уже 4 года. BLACKPINK показали себя ещё до официального утверждения состава. В то время участницы ещё были «трейни» (так в Корее называют молодых юношей и девушек, тренирующихся на базах звукозаписывающей компании для получения шанса стать айдолом в будущем).

Первый дебют девушек произошёл в 2012, а 29-го июня 2016 года компанией YG Entertainment был опубликован подтверждённый состав группы. В августе того же года была начата программа по развитию BLACKPINK.

Что интересно, изначально группа должна была назваться PinkPunk, и в неё входили такие участницы как Го Ын Би, Юна, Дженни, Лиса, Джису. Но из-за непредвиденных обстоятельств состав сменился, и к трём актуальным участницам присоединилась Пак Розэ.

Происхождение названия группы

Название группы включает в себя сочетание противоречивых оттенков (black + pink, чёрный и розовый). Чёрный ассоциируется с чем-то мрачным, тогда как розовый — с красотой и жизнерадостностью. Группа как бы говорит: «тебе недостаточно быть просто красивой, здесь ценится ещё и талант». Секрет популярности BLACKPINK кроется именно в сочетании мощного таланта, внешней привлекательности и сильной харизме участниц.

Интересно ещё и то, что, как и название, девушки изначально были непохожими друг на друга. Например, Лалиса родилась в Таиланде и имеет тайское происхождение, а Пак Розэ — в Новой Зеландии (до участия в группе у неё были проблемы с корейским языком, поэтому девушка использовала только английский).

Награды Блэкпинк

Блэкпинк получили множество музыкальных корейских наград:

  1. Asia Artist Awards
  2. Gaon Chart Music Awards
  3. Golden Disk Awards
  4. Melon Music Awards
  5. Mnet Asian Music Awards
  6. Seoul Music Awards
  7. Soribada Best K-Music Awards

Список международных призов:

  1. Japan Gold Disk Awards
  2. Teen Choice Awards

Топ-5 известных песен группы

BLACKPINK запомнились своими известными хитами, среди которых:

Песня BOOMBAYAH

Этот сингл является дебютным в истории BLACKPINK. Он был выпущен 8 августа 2016 года, когда популярность группы только набирала обороты. По состоянию на сегодняшний день песня набрала почти 900 миллионов просмотров на youtube.

Любопытный факт состоит в том, что изначально песню хотели назвать «OPPA-YA», но участниц спросили, что они думают о замене названия. Джи Су утверждает, что была рада, так как в песне и так много раз упоминалось слово «оппа». «Все могут подумать, что песня только о том, как найти своего оппу» — говорит девушка.

Песня SOLO

Ещё одно важное произведение для BLACKPINK, в «Solo» поётся о трудных отношениях и последующем расставании. Дженни, главная исполнительница трека, отлично показала себя в роли свободной и целеустремлённой девушки в самом клипе. Сам альбом вышел в 2018 году и набрал более 10 миллионов просмотров на youtube.

По состоянию на июнь 2020 года песня набрала более 478 миллионов просмотров и 7,5 млн лайков в ютубе.

DDU-DU DDU-DU

Ещё один прекрасный хит от любимой группы, DDU-DU DDU-DU набрал более миллиарда просмотров по состоянию на лето 2020. BLACKPINK является первой женской k-pop группой, достигшей такого успеха. Клип переполнен метафорическими образами; он содержит в себе темы непринятия обществом (вспомним кадр, когда Джису, исполняющая роль модели, падает со сцены) и свободы (кадры с дымовыми крыльями Лисы).

KILL THIS LOVE

Очередной шедевр, вышедший в апреле 2019 года. В песне поётся о разрыве токсичных отношений, мешающих девушке жить полноценной жизнью. KILL THIS LOVE доступен в двух версиях, а сам альбом был продан в 250 000 копиях в Южной Корее всего за неделю. Хореография в данном клипе была организована четырьмя ведущими хореографами мирового уровня.

На данный момент клип набрал 886 миллионов просмотров на youtube.

How You Like That

Настоящий фурор произвёл недавно вышедший трек, «How You Like That». По количеству просмотров клип побил все рекорды, и даже превзошёл известный «Boy with Luv» южнокорейского бой-бенда BTS. За первые сутки клип BLACKPINK был просмотрен более 80 миллионов раз. Также How You Like That стал одним из самых быстро набирающих просмотры видео, ведь за сутки его посмотрело более 100 миллионов зрителей. Джем Асвад, музыкальный редактор Variety утверждает, что это лучший сингл недели и один из наиболее горячих летних хитов.

How You Like That был снят тем же режиссёром, что снял DDU-DU DDU-DU и Kill This Love. Возможно, поэтому антураж How You Like That несколько напоминает предыдущие клипы в плане декораций и яркости.

Лалиса Манобан (Лиса)
Дата рождения: 27.03.1997

Вес: 46 кг
Отношения: предположительно, свободна.

Саб-вокалистка, а также рэпер BLACKPINK, Лалиса Манобан родилась 27 марта 1997 года. Она — одна из младших участниц BLACKPINK. Её сценическое имя, Лиса, прижилось достаточно быстро, а образ харизматичной уверенной в себе девушки полюбился многим поклонникам группы. Достоверно известно, что изначально девочку хотели назвать Пранприей, но вскоре родители передумали и нарекли её Лалисой. Девушка училась в частной школе, обучение которой велось на английском.

Быстрый успех в группе Лалиса заслужила именно своей уверенностью и вокальным талантом. Она занимает место ведущего рэпера и танцора группы.

Кроме этого, в Бангкоке фанаты называют её тайской принцессой. Если говорить о предпочтениях в одежде, то Лалисе нравятся свободные наряды и шапки ручной вязки.

Вокалистка и рэпер группы, Ким Дженни появилась на свет 16 января 1996 года в столице Южной Кореи. Она с детства увлекалась музыкой и часто говорила, что родители были её поддержкой в этом плане. Уже в 2010 году она прошла прослушивание в YG Entertainment и стала стажёром.

Её профессиональное развитие было весьма болезненным и сложным. В 2012 году компанией YG Entertainment была опубликована её первая видео-практика. Но многим не понравилось наличие нецензурных слов в песне, да и манера исполнения, судя по словам слушателей, оказалась специфической. Из-за этого в интернете распространились сплетни, что Дженни — дочь знаменитой актрисы, которая пытается втолкнуть её в мир шоу-бизнеса. Слухи доходили даже до того, что многие считали, будто мать Дженни физически издевалась над ней в детстве.

К счастью, ни один из слухов не прижился. На данный момент Дженни активно работает в BLACKPINK, а в свободное от работы время играет на флейте и снимает прекрасные фотографии.

Розэ — не единственный ребёнок в семье, у неё есть старшая сестра, с который они находятся в тесных дружеских отношениях. С детства девушка была крайне религиозной и редко пропускала церковные службы, покуда не стала айдолом. Именно отец Розэ всегда поддерживал её в творческих начинаниях; благодаря ему девушка попала на конкурсное прослушивание.

Девушке удалось занять первое место среди семисот участников на прослушивании YG. После этого Розэ успешно присоединилась к агентству и стала трейни. Известно, что вокалистка крепко сдружилась с Дженни, которая стала ей буквально сестрой, помогая во всём (Розэ плохо владела корейским языком). На данный момент Пак Розэ занимает места главной вокалистки и танцора.

Она с детства проявляла вокальный и актёрский талант, что позволило девушке стать фактически мастером своего дела. Благодаря прекрасной пластике и широкому диапазону голоса Джису дополняет каждый новый клип BLACKPINK.

Долгое время её имя скрывалось от фанатов, несмотря на актуальный контракт с YG. Также она редко появлялась на фотографиях вплоть до 2014 года. В 2019 Джису заняла десятое место в списке наиболее известных k-pop айдолов в Инстаграмм, имея на тот момент 12,8 млн подписщиков.

Introduction

BLACKPINK (블랙핑크; stylized as BLΛƆKPIИK) is an internationally acclaimed South Korean girl group formed under YG Entertainment. The group has four members Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé. They debuted on August 8, 2016 with their digital single album «Square One» and immediately rose to be one of the most well-known and loved artists of their generation.

Blackpink’s debut was highly anticipated as they were YG Entertainment’s second girl group after 2NE1. Most of the members were also well known among fans when they were still trainees—Jennie having featured in her labelmates’ songs and music videos, Lisa being a well-known Thai trainee, and Jisoo appearing as an actress in several music videos and tv shows.

At the time of its release, their song «Ddu-Du Ddu-Du» was the most-viewed Korean music video in the first 24 hours on YouTube, and in January 2019, it became the most viewed music video by a K-pop group on the website. The former record was broken by their video for «How You Like That» in June 2020, which also became the most viewed YouTube video in the first 24 hours.
