K-pop has become wildly popular not just in Korea, but globally, with one group currently dominating the scene: Blackpink. Four ladies take the stage whenever Blackpink performs, yet their personal lives are kept largely under wraps. Here is the untold truth of Blackpink.

Blackpink's label, YG Entertainment, broke down the significance of the group's name when the band debuted in 2016. A representative for the label explained,

"The meaning of Blackpink aims to contradict the common perception of the color pink. Pink is commonly used to portray prettiness, but Blackpink actually means to say that 'Pretty isn't everything.'"

As for the individual members, both Kim Jennie and Kim Jisoo use their real names, Jennie and Jisoo, when they perform. In contrast, Lisa's birth name is Pranpriya Manoban, and Rosé's real name is Park Chae Young. Whatever they've chosen to be called in their professional lives, it's clear that for these K-pop stars, a rose by any other name would smell - or sound - as sweet.
