Ever since BLACKPINK: LIGHT UP THE SKY dropped, BLACKPINK has been lighting up your feed. If you don’t know a ton about them, @stephanmlee, author of the new YA novel K-POP CONFIDENTIAL, is here to tell you why they’re the world’s biggest girl group & why you should stan.(THREAD)
Since their debut in 2016, pretty much everything released by BLACKPINK has broken records, and it’s easy to see why.
BLACKPINK’s pop songs blend different genres and are perfectly designed so you can scream along in any language.
Their videos are cutting-edge and visually STUNNING, and each one contains multiple internet-breaking fashion moments. I mean, c’mon.
In 2019, BLACKPINK was the first K-pop girl group to ever perform at Coachella, and they slayed. The whole festival crowd was singing along in Korean.
But beyond all the hype and sick visuals, the secret to BLACKPINK’s success is the chemistry of its four members: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa.
Jisoo is the “unnie” or “big sister” of the group. In addition to being a classic Korean beauty and great vocalist, she’s both hilarious and super smart, as you’ll see in #LightUpTheSky 
Jennie is the main rapper and fashion queen. As fierce as she is onstage, she’s thoughtful, focused, and a total dork (in the best way) off-stage.
Rosé hails from Australia and has one of the most distinctive voices in pop! In the film, you really get to see her coming into her own as a musician.
Born and raised in Thailand, Lisa is the “maknae” (youngest) of the group. She’s a badass dancer and her one-of-a-kind personality keeps her members (and the whole world) smiling.
As meteoric as their rise has been, #LightUpTheSky shows that it hasn’t been easy. BLACKPINK goes deep on their “trainee” days — a notoriously grueling process that they had to go through for years before debuting.
