BLACKPINK, YG’s first new girl group in seven years, is making debut on August at 8PM.

BLACKPINK will make an official debut in the music scene, releasing “BOOMBAYAH” and “WHISTLE”, the double title tracks of their debut album, on August 8 at 8PM.

Before their official debut, BLACKPINK’s members were unveiled one by one. Every time the members were unveiled, they created sensation on-line, taking No.1 on the real-time search word ranking of search engines. Plus, the team’s dance practice video surpassed 6.14 million views within a month of release.

BLACKPINK’s outstanding beauty and talent in dancing have already been fully recognized. Now, BLACKPINK is to present their own style of music and prove their talent in singing.

YG’s main producer TEDDY has worked on BLACKPINK’s debut album for two years. “BOOMBAYAH”, one of the double title tracks of the album, is a song of a quick and intense rhythm, which will cool down this summer’s heat wave. “WHISTLE” is a song about whispers of love and it is a minimal hip-hop song of a dreamlike and sexy feel.

Then, what would be the biggest charms that will make you fall in love with BLACKPINK, the most promising rookie idol group for the second half of 2016? Here are the profiles of the four members of BLACKPINK for all the people who will soon become the girls’ fans.
