Today is BLACKPINK day and we are very excited. The talented four-member group released their long-awaited pre-release single, pink Poison, from their second full album, BORN PINK, today at 1 p.m. KST.
Paying homage to their Korean roots, BLACKPINK wowed fans with an impressive performance, proving that they are masters at their own game.
A powerful and dynamic hip-hop track, pink poison It begins with the refined and insightful sound of the traditional Korean musical instrument Geomungo. It is evident that the girls are ready to strike the hearts of the audience with the magic of their “pink poison”.
Said to be YG Entertainment’s most expensive music video, it shows how the members of BLACKPINK have really put on a mesmerizing performance, announcing their return to the music scene after nearly two years.
While all the members shined in their own way, the BLACKPINK members had a special appreciation reserved for their eonni (older sister), Jisoo.
“Forever iconic” is what BLACKPINK fans said about the members, especially Jisoo, who put on a charming performance as Geomungo in the music video.
For the inexperienced, Geomungo or hyeongeum, which translates to “black zither,” is a traditional Korean plucked string instrument with bridges and frets. For fans who have a hard time recognizing it, it is the instrument Jisoo plays at the beginning of the music video.
