Debuting in 2016, BLACKPINK has been active for nearly nine years, reaching the pinnacle of their career and solidifying their status as the number one girl group in the music industry. Since their debut, the four girls of YG Entertainment have been crafted with a strong, chic and luxurious “girl crush” image, often adorned with high-fashion clothing. With this direction, BLACKPINK has become a pioneer in collaborating with luxury fashion brands.
Always appearing radiant and elegant like rich heiresses, BLACKPINK is often said to be a “silver spoon” girl group. Over the years, their family background has been a hot topic among fans. It is assumed that the members come from wealthy and influential families. However, not many know that during their internship days, BLACKPINK once struggled financially to the point where they couldn’t afford a birthday cake.
Recently, Rosé shared this memory during an interview.
Notably, in a video titled “Rosé Judge British and Korea Food,” BLACKPINK’s lead singer candidly revealed that the members didn’t have much money before their debut.
To save costs, instead of buying a birthday cake, they would buy Choco Pies, arrange them in the shape of a cake and stick candles on top. Despite the circumstances, the girls did their best to make each other feel loved on special days.
After going through moments like these together, the bond between BLACKPINK members over the past 10 years has grown into more than just a “sisterhood.” The year 2024 marks a significant transition in their solo career. All four members focus on their individual projects, but whenever they get the chance, they support and cheer each other wholeheartedly.
Listening to Rosé’s heartfelt reflections, fans became even more in awe of BLACKPINK’s relationship. Meanwhile, netizens were shocked, unable to believe it. Who would have thought that this world-famous group of girls, often labeled “rich heiresses”, once couldn’t afford a birthday cake?
