According to CNN Entertainment, the group reflected on their journey from playing Coachella in 2019 to performing “Pink Venom” at the VMAs earlier this year in a Time story honouring the Entertainer of the Year award.
According to member Jennie, “We put in a lot of work so we could seem like superwomen.” At the end of the day, we’re just regular girls.
If we thought about this from a business perspective, we wouldn’t be able to achieve this, Jennie stated when discussing their journey of difficulties and success.”
The group was previously chosen as a nominee for TIME’s Person of the Year for 2020 and one of the musicians for TIME 100 NEXT in 2019.
BLACKPINK is presently on their “Born Pink” world tour, which will take them across Europe through the end of the year.
