BLACKPINK made their debut back on August 8, 2016, with the release of their debut single album "SQUARE ONE," which featured hit songs "Whistle" and "BOOMBAYAH."
Upon their debut, they had already created a worldwide sensation as soon as they entered the music industry, snagging the top spots on domestic music programs in just 14 days, making them the fastest girl group to do so in the history of girl group debuts. Since then, BLACKPINK has released equally popular hit songs such as "As If It's Your Last," "DDU-DU DDU-DU," "Kill This Love," "How You Like That," and "Lovesick Girls," and have grown into a world-class girl group that is representative of K-Pop.

In addition, their first full-length album "THE ALBUM," which was released in October of last year, ranked second in the two major international pop charts, Billboard in the United States and the Official Charts in the United Kingdom, making them the highest-ranking K-pop girl group to do so.
