Portal Description

This October 2020 ELLE magazine features K-Pop group BLACKPINK and was photographed by Kim Hee June (b. 1975). The spread includes a group photograph and individual portraits.

Consisting of members Jisoo (b. 1995), Jennie (b. 1996), Rosé (b. 1997), and Lisa (b. 1997), the all-women K-Pop (Korean pop music) band was formed by YG Entertainment in 2016. They were not only the first female K-Pop group to perform at a U.S. festival, the Coachella Vallery Music and Arts Festival in 2019, but the first Korean group to headline the same festival (2023). K-Pop is now a distinctive mainstream genre with celebrity status idols, addictive musical hooks, and precise choreography. BLACKPINK is part of the South Korean wave of artists, musicians, films, fashion, and more that have become a driving force of global pop culture.

Physical Description

Magazine cover shows 4 young, Korean women, one sitting on the ground, two sitting on a ladder structure, and one standing wearing different outfits of black and white. The title reads “The Future is BLACKPINK: The Biggest Girl Group in the World.” The word “ELLE” is in red lettering at the top.
