BLACKPINK is set to perform their two new songs in Inkigayo this week.
In August, BLACKPINK promoted their debut album Square One solely in Inkigayo after government-run KBS banned the songs because of some of its lyrics. Instead of heeding to the request for revision, YG decided not to promote in KBS Music Bank altogether and appeared in Inkigayo only.
In an interview, YG explained that his artists realized fully their performance with less restrictions compared to other networks. BLACKPINK will perform on Nov. 6.
It has been seven years since the debut of 2NE1 and YG Entertainment has not debuted any girl group in between. However, 2NE1 was put in a halt after main vocal Park Bom's drug scandal. This led to the departure of maknae Minzy from the group and the label. With three active male groups currently under the agency, YG was in need of a flagship female group.
BLACKPINK debuted on Aug. 8 and dropped two music videos - "BOOMBAYAH" and "Whistle" that received an all-kill status in various music charts. The group is set to release six more songs as part of their debut. BLACKPINK is composed of Jennie Kim, Lalisa Manoban, Kim Jisoo, and Park Roseanne.
Before their debut as YG's next generation of female group, the members increased the hype by appearing in ads and taking individual projects like modeling and music collaboration. Moreover, the dance practice video of the group went viral that showed off their immense talents.
