Although the members of Blackpink [1] come from a variety of backgrounds — Lisa is from Thailand, Jennie spent most of her youth in New Zealand, Jisoo was born and raised in South Korea, and Rosé comes from Australia — they've spent the majority of the last nine years with each other. When they first met during their trainee days, they weren't even sure if they'd all make it together as a group. Now they consider each other "sisters [2]," and their connection is clear in almost everything they do.
With their practically seamless performances [3] and adorable interviews, it's no wonder they've become close friends — they even live together! In honour of their documentary Blackpink: Light Up the Sky, which premiered on Netflix on Oct. 14, read some of their cutest quotes about their friendship.
