BLACKPINK is a 4-member female idol group born from YG Entertainment, a major Korean agency in 2016.

What Kind of KPOP Group is BLACKPINK?

The name BLACKPINK is a combination of “BLACK”, which is a contrast to “PINK”, which can be said to be a symbol of femininity, “cute but not everything”, and “these members are not only beautiful but also has great talent”. It seems that it was attached to the feeling.

“BOOMBAYAH” of the 1st single “SQUARE ONE” was their debut song which won 1st place in the Oricon ranking, and made its debut in Japan in 2017 the following year, and immediately gained explosive popularity.

Many young girls reported it on Japanese TV programs as “Girls Crush” and it became a hot topic.

Despite gaining explosive popularity from the time of its debut, the “SQUARE UP” album was released in 2018 and has gained worldwide popularity by taking the number one spot on iTunes charts in 44 countries around the world.

Most of the BLACKPINK songs have been played over 100 million times in the official music video released on YouTube. Among them, the most played is “DDU-DU DDU-DU” in 2018, which has been seen 1.8 billion times as of June 2022.

In addition, the members strive to be models for leading cosmetic brands, leading fashion brands, magazines, etc. In 2019, they toured all over Japan, and all the performances were almost full.

Appeared in many music programs in the United States and signed a contract with the leading American label “Interscope Records”. BLACKPINK is a popular female idol group that is very active not only in Korea and Japan but also in the United States, Europe, and other countries around the world.

BLACKPINK Member Profile & Popularity Ranking in Japan

4th Place – Rosé

Rose has the highest singing ability among the BLACKPINK members and has a wonderful singing voice. Even before her debut, there was a lot of talk about “who has this singing voice”.

At the live performance, she will show off her wonderful narration and will captivate the fans.

Born and raised in Australia, you can often see her speaking in English, and she’s very close to Lisa, who is also good at English.

Since she can speak English, she often performs Western music with her proud singing ability, and it seems that many people become fans of her singing voice.

One of Rosé’s charms is a natural character, and I think that the slightly calm Rosé is healing for the fans.

Since the media exposure is a little less than the other members and the recognition is low, the ranking may change as the number of jobs with Rosé alone increases in the future.

3rd Place – Jisoo

I think there are many women who yearn for Jisoo, which has a calm but beautiful atmosphere.

One of the reasons for her popularity is that she has a Japanese feeling, such as Mika Nakashima’s songs being performed in Japanese at live concerts in Japan.

Among the members, she is good at Japanese, and she sometimes shows Japanese in her video distribution.

She also has a very bright personality and is a sociable type who can get along with anyone, and her friendliness captivates various people.

Also, since she was a student, many people may have been energized by the smile of Jisoo, who loves to laugh so much.

2nd Place – Jennie

Jennie, who is both cute and cool, is very popular. She is in charge of rap in the song part, and even Koreans find it difficult to rap Jennie’s part.

She has a contract with the leading fashion brand “Chanel” with an outstanding style. She is usually quiet and cool, but her appearance of making funny faces and sprinkling charm while being shy is popular with fans.

Jennie wears many dark make-ups on the stage, which gives her a cool impression, but when she wears makeup is light, she looks much younger and cuter.

Since they will show off such a figure without hiding it, it will be very easy for fans to have a sense of intimacy, which may lead to popularity.

1st Place – Lisa

Lisa is overwhelmingly popular, but depending on the listener or site, the rankings of Jennie and Lisa may change.

However, Lisa is overwhelmingly popular in Japan. I think that there are many women who admire the beautiful and cute features of Barbie dolls and the slender and long limbs that are outstanding in style.

Not only the appearance but also Lisa’s dance is quite good, and even in the K-POP times, it competes for the top.

Her personality is quite bright and gentle, she is very charming, and she is also attractive. The appearance of actively getting along with the members by hugging and talking to them looks very cute.

Also, although she mostly performs the rap part in the song, other members say that they are “very good at singing” and are attracting attention outside of rap.

What is the Popularity Ranking of BLACKPINK Members in Korea and the United States?

First of all, here is the popularity ranking in the United States:

• 4th Place – Jennie
• 3rd Place – Jisoo
• 2nd Place – Rose
• 1st Place – Lisa

Lisa is in 1st place, the same as in Japan, but it may be a little surprising that Jennie is in 4th place.

And here is the popularity ranking in Korea:

• 4th place – Lisa
• 3rd place – Rose
• 2nd place – Jisoo
• 1st place – Jennie

Unlike Japan and the United States, Lisa is a little surprised at 4th place. Is there a lot of desire to support Koreans?

The reason why Jennie and Jisoo are so popular is that they often appeared on TV programs before their debut.

Bonus
