Black Pink (Hangul: 블랙핑크), stylized as BLACKPINK or BLΛƆKPIИK, is a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment and the first girl group to debut under the same entertainment seven years after 2NE1. The group consists of four members: Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé. They officially debuted on August 8, 2016 with the single album Square One.

With promotional preparation beginning in August 2012 with the revelation of a teaser image of Kim Eun-bi, who was speculated as a candidate for the group's line-up,YG Entertainment revealed the final line-up and name of the group on June 29, 2016. Black Pink is the first girl group to debut under YG Entertainment in seven years after 2NE1. They debuted with the single album Square One on August 8, 2016. The first title track, "Whistle," was a "minimal hip-hop track," and was produced by Teddy Park and Future Bounce and written by Teddy Park, iKon's B.I and Bekuh BOOM. The second title track, "Boombayah," was produced by Teddy Park and co-written by Bekuh BOOM. Its music video was directed by Seo Hyun-seung.

The two songs of Black Pink's debut single hit number one and two on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart, and they are by far the fastest act to do so and the third Korean artist or group to hold the top two positions after Psy and Big Bang. "Whistle" topped the digital, download, streaming, and mobile charts on Gaon in August 2016. They also reached number one on the weekly, popularity, music video, and K-pop music video charts of China's biggest music-streaming website QQ Music. Black Pink's first music show performance was aired on August 14, 2016 on SBS's Inkigayo. They won first place on Inkigayo 13 days after their debut, and broke the record for the shortest time for a girl group to win on a music program after debut. They wrapped up their promotions for Square One on September 11, 2016 with another win on Inkigayo.
