BLACKPINK debuted on August 8, 2016 with their single album Square One. Over the last seven years, BLACKPINK, the new girl group launched by YG following 2NE1, has achieved tremendous achievements as the best hip-hop girl group of the second generation.
Yang Hyun-suk, CEO of YG Entertainment, presented the debut showcase to reporters on August 8, 2016. B-side songs like 'Like' and 'STAY' also received good reviews from the industry and won rookie awards. In recent years, the group has achieved global success through songs including 'Lovesick Girls' and 'How You Like That'.
BLACKPINK reached a career high this year. They achieved great success not only as celebrities, but also as global music artists by topping the Billboard 200 chart with their 2nd album 'THE ALBUM', followed by the UK Official Album Chart Top 100.
It is still unclear whether BLACKPINK and YG will renew their contract. BLACKPINK is meeting 1.5 million fans on their world tour, has attracted about 55,000 fans through its encore concert in Paris, and is scheduled to hold a concert in LA on August 26. Even if the contract expires on the date, if both parties agree, it is possible to maintain the contractual relationship while preparing for the performance.
