Blackpink To Light Up The Sky (And Our Screens) In New Netflix Documentary

Last Friday (October 2), the K-pop order Blackpink released their rather anticipated, debut Korean-language LP, The Album. Its eight tracks boasted a deft combining of genres — EDM, hip-hop, pop rock — featuring high-profile collaborations with stateside superstars Cardi B ("Bet You Wanna") and Selena Gomez ("Ice Cream"). The project marked a major career milestone for the four ladies — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — catapulting them into the mainstream.


Although the road to success wasn't habitually an easy one, and that hard-won journey is captured in a new documentary, hitting Netflix later this month. On Monday (October 5), the streaming giant surprise-dropped the trailer for the Caroline Suh-directed Blackpink: Light Up the Sky, which follows the quartet from their time as trainees in Seoul (they debuted in 2016) by means of the moment they became the initial South Korean girl categorize to perform at Coachella in 2019.


"Who would have thought thousands of people singing in Korean?" Jennie asked in the trailer, remembering Blackpink's Coachella debut. "We grew into something that we didn't even know was possible," Rosé mentioned. The documentary will tell Blackpink's story through never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage along with one-on-one interviews with the females and the producers who helped shape their powerful sound. It will be in your area on October 14.
