BLACKPINK Reveal The Simple Way They Got Their Group Name
It would be hard to imagine BLACKPINK with any other name, but the group revealed that they originally planned on using a different name. BLACKPINK recently sat down with Access to talk about their first full album, THE ALBUM, as well as many other things.
During the interview, the members were asked how they got the name “BLACKPINK”, and Jennie shared that the group originally wanted to find a word that combined the words “black” and “pink”.
We were struggling at the beginning with the group name. If there was a color mixed with black and pink, like in the right amount, then we would have gone with that color.
— Jennie
However, they weren’t able to find the right word that combined “black” and “pink”, so they decided to just make it one word.
We just put them (the words “black” and “pink”) together and made one word with it.
— Rosé
Jennie also commented on how they wanted their group name to show how diverse of a group they were.
We wanted to express the diversity of the group and how far and different genres we could do and show you guys.
