Yang said BlackPink’s look and music best represent the style YG is now trying to achieve. Yang Hyun-suk, YG Entertainment’s founder and executive director, speaks at a press conference in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, on Monday. “But we also want to try to develop our own style and taste.” “We do want to resemble 2NE1,” said Jisoo. In the days leading up to BlackPink’s debut, K-pop fans have commented on the group’s similarities to YG’s 2NE1, which also started out as a four-member act. The group’s remaining members Jennie and Jisoo have starred in various YG Entertainment productions during their training period. Lisa from Thailand, YG’s first non-Korean artist, appeared in the music video for Taeyang’s hit track “Ringa Linga” in 2013. The group’s main vocalist Park Chae-young - who goes by the stage name Rose - was featured in Big Bang member G-Dragon’s solo mini album “One of a Kind” in 2012. “However, before sharing our work with the world, we first focus on making sure that our musicians and producers are satisfied with their content,” he added.Īlthough this is the first time the group’s members are presenting themselves under the name BlackPink, they are not new to the spotlight. ![]() “We try to accommodate our fans’ excitement toward seeing new releases from our artists,” said Yang Hyun-suk, the founder and executive director of YG Entertainment, at BlackPink’s debut showcase at MOSS Studio in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul, Monday.
