10 Blackpink Facts Every Fan Should Know

Their name is all about the contradiction of colours. "The meaning of Blackpink aims to contradict the common perception of the colour pink," their label YG Entertainment previously said in a statement. "Pink is commonly used to portray prettiness, but 'Blackpink' actually means to say that 'pretty isn't everything.' It also symbolizes that they are a team that encompasses not only beauty, but also great talent."

The members of Blackpink come from a variety of backgrounds, although they all can speak Korean and Japanese fluently. Jennie, who grew up in New Zealand, and Rosé, who was raised in Australia, are fluent in English. Lisa, who comes from Thailand, can speak Thai and English. Jisoo, who was born and raised in South Korea, is the only member that can't speak English fluently, however, she can speak Chinese.

In 2012, Rosé's dad jokingly suggested that she should attend the YG Entertainment audition in Australia. "I didn't think that there was much of a chance for me to become a singer – especially to become a K-pop star . . . I was living so far from the country that it never really occurred to me as a possibility," Rosé said in a previous interview with The Sydney Morning Herald. She ended up placing first and within two months, she was on a plane to South Korea for the trainee program.

Lisa's parents made an appearance during BLACKPINK House and it didn't take long for people to discover her stepfather, Marco Brüschweiler, is famous in his own right. Marco worked around the world, at places like the Sun City Casino in South Africa, before settling in Thailand, where he met Lisa's mother. He currently runs a culinary school in Bangkok and is one of the leading advisers to the Thailand Culinary Academy.
