Composed of Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rose, BLACKPINK is one of the hottest girl groups in the world. Since their debut in 2016, this four-member girl group has been making a name for themselves as a group and as individuals. They collaborated with Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, and Selena Gomez, sold out their first world tour in three minutes, and pretty much everything in between. BLACKPINK is the definition of girl crush* and that’s what makes not only them but their music so special.
