Unlike many female K-pop groups that have six to nine members, BLACKPINK consists of only four — Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo. All of the girls sing, but Jennie and Lisa also serve as the group’s rappers.
When BLACKPINK made their debut, YG Entertainment revealed in astatementthat the group’s name is meant to contrast the common association of femininity with the color pink.
“The meaning of BLACKPINK aims to contradict the common perception of the color pink,” the statement read. “Pink is commonly used to portray prettiness, but BLACKPINK actually means to say that ‘Pretty isn’t everything.’ It also symbolizes that they are a team that encompasses not only beauty, but also great talent.”
