Blackpink are the latest K-pop group taking the world by storm.
Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa – who will be performing at UK venues Wembley and Manchester Arena in May – have been selling out shows worldwide as part of their world tour, and will take to the stage at Coachella next month.
'Ddu-Du Ddu-Du' has nearly 700 million YouTube views and is the highest-charting single in the US by a Korean girl group, while their collaboration with Dua Lipa 'Kiss and Make Up' broke into the UK top 40 last year.
Speaking to Billboard, Blackpink have confirmed that they're keen to release all-English songs in the future, although they're primarily focused on their debut album at present. Jennie and Rosé are both fluent in English, while Lisa can speak some of the language as well.
"[It's something we] definitely want to do," Jennie shared.
"We’ve got so much Korean culture and so much Western culture in us," said Rosé, who grew up in Melbourne, Australia.
What to Read Next
Meanwhile, Dua Lipa had nothing but praise for Blackpink after their collaboration.
"I was immediately drawn to their fierce and empowering energy," she told the publication. "They are not just giving you hit songs – they are sending a message that resonates beyond the lyrics."
This past month has seen Blackpink appear on US shows such as Good Morning America and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
