Artists saying their names in their own songs is common in the music industry. It is their way to introduce themselves to the public, and it also becomes their trademark that makes their tracks sound catchy and cool. In the K-pop scene, not all idol groups do this, and below are just some of who do it.
7 K-pop Groups That Often Say Their Names in Songs: BLACKPINK, EXO, More
BLACKPINK
The first one on our list is none other than BLACKPINK, who is widely known for their iconic line "BLACKPINK in your area" that fans have been hearing since their debut song "BOOMBAYAH." The girls only include this phrase in their title tracks, so you may not be able to hear it in their other releases. The quartet also simply says "BLACKPINK!" sometimes, like in "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Pink Venom."
