When BLACKPINK unveiled 'Pink Venom': Revisit the contradictory charm behind their hit

Venom with a Splash of Pink: BLACKPINK's Edgy Return to the Spotlight

It was a sophisticated rendezvous, awash in elegance and anticipation. BLACKPINK's Seoul-based private presser on Aug. 19, 2022, wasn't just any event. It marked the celebration of their track, "Pink Venom," a fierce reminder of the group's penchant for melding contrasts. “It’s pink venom, a lovely poison, it’s words that most express us,” said Jennie, as reported by Billboard.

Harmony in Contrasts: Decoding "Pink Venom"

While some may find the confluence of "pink" and "venom" conflicting, BLACKPINK embraced this paradox. It’s their ethos. It's the magic that defines them. “We are named BLACKPINK and contradiction is our charm,” professed Jennie, a sentiment that pulsates through the very DNA of the group.

Jisoo's revelation about the track's fusion of hip-hop and the traditional Korean geomungo instrument made it evident: experimentation is their playground. “It was really new and sounds we never attempted before,” shared Rosé, adding layers to our intrigue.

The Dance that Bit the World: TikTok’s New Craze

Lisa, the group's unparalleled dance maestro, was especially thrilled about the “powerful” choreography. Her description of the “fang dance” resonated with vivid imagery. “We visualized a fang with our hands which most intuitively expresses the ‘Pink Venom’ concept.”

BLACKPINK, however, wasn't just about breaking records or setting standards. At the core, it's always been the music. The art. “Rather than breaking records,” quipped Rosé, “We have really focused on our new songs.” A philosophy that undoubtedly resonates with BLINKs, their global fanbase.

World Tour: BLACKPINK Paints the World Pink

Their "Born Pink" world tour has caused ripples of anticipation. From North America to Australia, the global music landscape is set to be dominated by these powerhouse performers. Jennie's spirited statement, “It’s our first tour in a very long time, so we’d like to focus on our originality and include a lot of new songs,” heralds an era where BLACKPINK redefines originality.

Fast forward to today, the “Pink Venom” video, having garnered a staggering 35 million views in its initial hours, has painted the town pink, and then some!
