Explaining the reason behind the band name, a YG representative explained that while pink is described as the prettiest color, being pretty isn’t everything. Therefore, the team is beautiful but also talented, said a report by Soompi .
According to The Inquisitr, it was reported that Teddy Park has going the extra mile in helping Black Pink on their debut album. He has been composing songs that are tailor-made for the young K-pop girl group.
As reported by Inquisitr , Black Pink was reportedly planning on releasing five new songs, which will have full music videos before the year’s end.
While the whole of K-pop community is gung-ho about Black Pink, the South Korean entertainment industry as a whole is suffering the wrath of China, which is banning all K-drama and K-pop actors in the country.
Recently, a fan meet by Kim Woo Bin and Bae Suzy was cancelled in China.
We must wait and watch if China will be kind to Black Pink.
