Lisa and Rosé are unbelievable. Well, they all are, but those two especially catch my eye. If this is them at debut, it'll be amazing to see where they'll be in the next few years.

I've been listening to Whistle non-stop since it came out. Seriously challenging High Heels and Free Somebody as my go to Summer Kpop track and its been out a week. Impact.

My friends are definitely more interested in them than other kpop groups. At pre-drinks yesterday they asked for "that booyah song," so I think they've got something good.

That Boombayah perf was ace. The girls have a great interaction. They brought the bop needed. Good vocals. My only regret is that they really feel like a replacement for 2NE1, they could have tried something new. But whatever.

My two absolute favourites in equal measure. I hope they make a subunit one day.
I've come around to BLACKPINK and let them dominate me. In fact it only took one day.

Fantastic debut stages. Lisa was brilliant, the sets were brilliant to, they're getting all the budget. Sorry CL.
