Information

Debut & First Comeback

BLΛƆKPIИK promoting "SQUARE ONE" (2016)

After four years of teasers, videos, and various cameos, rumors began to stir in the beginning of May 2016 that YG Entertainment's new girl group was in the process of their debut. YG began revealing the final line-up every Wednesday over a period of four weeks, starting on June 1st with member Jennie and ending on June 22nd with member Rosé. On June 29th, the name of the group on was revealed to be "BLΛƆKPIИK". The meaning behind the name was given by a rep, who stated that it "aims to contradict the common perception of the color pink. Pink is commonly used to portray prettiness, but Black Pink 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." It was also reported that the group would not have a leader, as the members were all close friends.

They released their debut digital single "SQUARE ONE" on August 8, 2016 with the lead tracks "Hwiparam" and "BOOMBAYAH". The group held a debut showcase on August 8th, which was broadcast live on Naver's V app. The music videos for both songs hit 1 million views in less than 12 hours, and went on to earn over 40 million views each. On April 14, 2017, "Hwiparam" reached 100 million views. BLACKPINK also snagged their first all-kill with "Hwiparam" on August 9th, and went on to achieve three more all-kills for the song on August 10th, August 14th, and August 21st. "Hwiparam" and "BOOMBAYAH" were also ranked #1 and #2, respectively, on Billboard's World Digital Songs chart, and the "SQUARE ONE" single topped the Worldwide iTunes Album Chart.

The group's first music show performance was aired on August 14, 2016 on SBS's Inkigayo. They were nominated for their first award for the August 21st episode of Inkigayo, which they won, making them the girl group with the shortest time between debut and #1 nomination. It was later revealed that the group would only promote on Inkigayo, following in the steps of previous YG artists.

On October 19th, Yang Hyun Suk himself revealed on his twitter that the group would be making a comeback with "SQUARE TWO" on November 1st. The countdown to the release was filled with teaser pictures followed by behind the scenes videos for the music videos of both lead tracks "Buljangnan" and "STAY". Both MVs reached 2 million views in under 15 hours. 24 hours after their release, the MV for "Buljangnan" hit about 4.3 million views and the MV for "STAY" hit about 3.6 million views, and went on to have 27 million and 16 million views, respectively.

"Buljangnan" went on to top Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart on November 19th. The song then entered the Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 chart at number 92 which was the first time a K-pop girl group placed on the chart.
