“My number one idol will always be Rihanna. She has everything I want to be.”

“Because it's our first official album, we wanted to show our color, the color of Blackpink. We wanted to present an image that people would think of when they think of Blackpink, and what kind of music we put out... we channeled the girly side of ourselves and performed according to the girly lyrics.”

“I lived in Korea when I was young, so it was great to be back, close to my family.”

“We want to be proud when we look back on our history when we grow old.”

“Even we can get things wrong sometimes.”

“We really want to perfect the quality of the stuff we put out, so we can be represented to the world as a K-pop group.”

“When we say 'Blackpink in your area,' we're literally saying we're in your area with good music, with good energy - we're here for you.”

“We dance to difference genres such as krumping, ballet and hip-hop, together with invited foreign choreographers who are well-known internationally.”

“It would be a lie if I say I never imagined what G-Dragon oppa would've been like if he was a girl. I want to keep the title of 'Female GD.'”

“Since I have given lots of strong and charismatic performances on the stage, many people think that I probably would be just like that in real life. But many of those who have met me say that I have an aura of genuinely girlish charm.”

“Lady Gaga reached out to us saying how much she loves our music, and we were just like, 'What?! She knows who we are?!' That's how mindblown we were.”

“I want to try a feminine style but mix it up with sexy or hip-hop elements.”

“I like to just stay at home with my family, I eat something nice.”

“We never thought our music would reach out to so many people around the world.”

“Even on our days off, we're basically at the studio recording.”

“It's amazing that K-pop is spreading around the world as a culture in itself.”

“We want to become a group that many people cheer for and trust without bias, no matter what kind of songs we sing, or what stage we stand on.”

“On stage, my look should be the total opposite of my look offstage.”

“I am super shy. I was one of those people where I can't even order something on the phone. Like, I hated that.”

“We want to make a full album to really express ourselves.”
