Hello, I am a listener of k-pop music and i wanted to talk you about one of the most successfull girl's band at the moment : BLACK PINK
BLACK PINK is a team of 4 young girls from 20 to 22 years old. Produced by YG Entertainment, they started last year in august with 2 song called Boombayah and Whistle, becoming rapidely very popular.
K-pop music has of course a lot of success in asian countries but is still a foreign world for most of americans and europeans. Their songs or music/videos are mostly known for being weird or funny and their music style is not always appreciated by western people.
What about BLACK PINK ? Their are quite beautifull, have good/unique voices and dance pretty well, wich is the minimum to be in a k-pop group. But are they different from the other groups ? I will let everyone make their own answer.
Here is their first song with more than 170M views :
They were then ranked first in music charts (http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/online.gaon?nationGbn=T&serviceGbn=ALL&targetTime=08&hitYear=2016&termGbn=month) and begun to win more and more music awards like "rookie of the year" for 2016 and 2017.
With their new song from last week (22/06/2017) called As if it is your last they were ranked first on 18 countries on Itunes. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVqQem7gMcF/
They also broke some youtube records for the most views in 24 hours for a K-pop group and for the K-pop MV record for fastest group to reach 10 million views.
