Breaking Down K-Pop Group Blackpink’s Rise To Fame And Latest Record Breaking Feat
Even if you do not listen to K-pop, you have likely heard of the four-women group Blackpink that has been taking over the music genre in South Korea and abroad.
In fact, their latest music video for the track “Pink Venom” just broke the world record for largest twenty-four-hour debut of a female artist’s music video.
“Pink Venom” racked up over ninety million views in just one day– topping their own previous video for “How You Like That.”
Now, it is clear that Blackpink is a K-pop force to be reckoned with. So, let’s dive into the girls behind the name.
Blackpink Debuted In 2016
Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie are the four unstoppable women behind Blackpink.
Rosé is the group’s main singer, along with Jisoo. Meanwhile, Jennie is Blackpink’s main rapper, and Lisa is the group’s main dancer.

The group debuted back in 2016 with their first single album, Square One. The album is home to “Whistle,” the first track ever to land a top spot on South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart.
The song “Boombayah” also did the same on the US Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart– quickly making “Blackpink” a world-renowned name.
And, if you are wondering, ‘Why the name Blackpink?’ it’s because the women wanted to fight against stereotypical perceptions of femininity.
“I may look sweet, but I don’t act like it,” sang Jennie in one of their hit songs, “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” underscoring their sentiment.
The Group’s Unstoppable Fame
Since debuting, Blackpink has gone on to release two studio albums, four single albums, three extended plays, one compilation album, and four live albums– an extremely impressive roster after just six years in the business.
The group has also ventured on two concert tours and raked in tons of dough via music sales, appearances, and merch.
Now, Blackpink is estimated to be collectively worth about sixty-two million dollars.
Jennie is the fourth most wealthy, coming in with a net worth of ten million dollars. Lisa is next, with a net worth of fourteen million dollars, and she is followed by Rosé– who has a net worth of eighteen million dollars.
Finally, the most wealthy member of Blackpink is Jisoo– who has earned her living through the music group as well as by landing roles in The Producers (2015), Arthdal Chronicles (2019), and Snowdrop (2021). She is worth about twenty million dollars.
Blackpink’s Next Move
With so much success already, you might be wondering where Blackpink can go from here. Well, the group recently announced their latest plans to embark on a thirty-six-date world tour that will launch on October 15, 2022.
This will be the “largest world tour in the history of a K-pop girl group,” according to Blackpink’s management firm YG Entertainment.
Additionally, one month before the tour, the girls will also be releasing their latest LP entitled Born Pink.
