BLACKPINK has kept a secret of "survival" for 4 years of their debut, causing Kpop wobbles by "saving" 2 hits

BLACKPINK from the moment of their debut in 2016 has quickly asserted their ability by continuously achieving excellent awards at home and abroad. Up to now, the achievements that the group has achieved are difficult for any junior to surpass.

On August 8, 2016, the Korean entertainment industry witnessed the impressive debut of 4 powerful YG girls after 7 years since the golden age of 2NE1. Possessing a beautiful appearance, personality and a unique, somewhat rebellious music style, BLACKPINK is known as a "dinosaur rookie" when continuously dominating the music charts in the domestic and foreign markets in a short time.

4 girls built the image of chic and cool girlcrush, becoming a "textbook" for a series of entertainment companies to follow. The series of pre-debut BLACKPINK images and 2 debut MVs Boombayah - Whistle comes back stronger than ever.

After only 13 days of debut, the 4 girls quickly won their first on the Inkigayo stage with the song "Whistle " from their first album Square One and won Best New Artist at the Melon Music Awards.

After the debut MV was released, fans were extremely looking forward to BLACKPINK's "debut" on the live stage. Accordingly, on August 14, 2016, BLACKPINK performed the song " Boombayah" for the first time on the music stage of the show Inkigayo. After more than 4 years and 4 months, this video has amassed 100 million views. This achievement helps BLACKPINK's first debut stage reach the achievement of hundreds of millions of views - a record only 4 YG girls can achieve.

For a rookie group, most of their debuts came self-arranged from the agency. But with BLACKPINK, it's quite the opposite. It can be said that without the "involvement" from the YG girls, it is likely that the 2 debut songs Whistle and Boombayah would not have achieved so many top achievements.

Specifically, on SBS's "Party People" that aired in 2017, Jennie revealed that the original song's title was not Boombayah as announced: "The original name was 'Oppayah' but CEO Yang Hyun Suk asked us what we thought of that name. Because the phrase 'Oppa' is pretty much in the song and we felt that if the title was also 'Oppayah' it would feel like the whole song was about finding a lover." It was BLACKPINK's opposition that led to their debut song being titled Boombayah.

Besides the debut song Boombayah, many people are surprised that the debut song Whistle almost did not be released. Accordingly, in the documentary BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky released in 2020, Teddy – who produced songs for BLACKPINK revealed: "They (YG) all thought it was too risky. The song has a weird country vibe and it's extremely minimalist."

He added that most people objected to the song because it sounded too empty. However, all 4 members along with producer Teddy are still determined to do everything to make the song possible.

Currently, in the 7th year of their career, BLACKPINK has successfully completed the World Tour Born Pink , conquering the peaks of revenue and global fame. However, the group faces an uncertain future when it comes time to re-sign with YG agency. Over the past year, information related to the contract between BLACKPINK and YG has been continuously communicated, causing fans to be confused.

YG was in danger of not being able to keep all 4 members Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé here. According to the third quarter financial report, a contract with BLACKPINK is still being discussed. Korean media reported, revealing the possibility of BLACKPINK re-signing to continue group activities, but some members will not be under the company.

YG plays a "cat and mouse" game with BLACKPINK fans, taking advantage of the "chicken that lays golden eggs" to shoulder the company's revenue.

Although the contract status has not been announced, YG continuously marks ownership over the members, making everyone confused.
