“These are our years!” – the iconic phrase once shared by Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner now seems to belong perfectly to BLACKPINK.
Lisa recently set social media ablaze after sharing glimpses of her extravagant beach party that marked the finale of her 20s. This has reignited interest in how each BLACKPINK member celebrates their birthdays in distinctly different styles. Interestingly, all four members Jisoo (January 3), Jennie (January 16), Rosé (February 11), and Lisa (March 27) have birthdays clustered in the first quarter of the year.
It’s truly BLACKPINK season. Dominating global stages, prestigious awards and major fashion houses as muses, the members are at the height of their influence. Their birthday celebrations reflect this status, each of them a unique “mise-en-scène” that highlights their individuality.
Lisa, the newest birthday girl, shared the photos on March 30 with the caption, “Last spin of my 20s with my favorite people.” Her sunset beach party looked like something out of a movie, set against a dreamy seaside backdrop. Wearing a bikini top embellished with pearls and gemstones paired with a mermaid dress, Lisa effortlessly blended into the exotic backdrop, evoking a modern-day mermaid and earning overwhelming praise online.
Some observers compared her celebration to those of Hollywood elites such as Kendall Jenner’s lavish beach parties held on private islands, where youth and wealth are celebrated on a grand scale. Lisa’s party further solidified her status as a global pop superstar operating at an impressive level.
Meanwhile, Rosé, who recently achieved a solo career after winning two trophies at the VMAs, opted for a more intimate yet aesthetic celebration. He spent his birthday at a private wine shop in Hannam-dong with close friends. The table was decorated with yellow centerpieces that complimented her signature blonde hair, creating a soft, artistic vibe.
With white tablecloths, floral arrangements, and Rosé wearing a tiara while playfully tying balloons in her hair, the scene resembled a romantic teen movie. Fans described it as “Pinterest-perfect” and “the most Rosé-esque romantic birthday ever.”
For Jennie, the key word was undeniably “hot girl.” Celebrating her 30th birthday at a club in Tokyo, Jennie exuded bold charisma in a black sheath dress paired with a fur coat. From holding birthday candles in her mouth to relaxed poses on a pool table, her carefree “party girl” energy has perfectly captured the global “brat” trend, rebellious, playful and unapologetically confident.
While her celebration sparked small debates in Korea over elements like champagne serving rituals and indoor fireworks, Jennie addressed fans directly with gratitude, maintaining her trademark casual and confident attitude.
Unlike the others, Jisoo took a heartwarming approach by turning her birthday into a fan meet-and-greet combined with a New Year’s meet-and-greet. Instead of a private party, he invited 103 fans to his favorite hot-pot restaurant, personally preparing custom sauces for them.
Notably, Jisoo went all out with generous gifts, including iPhones and Nintendo devices through a lucky draw. This unprecedented level of fan service went beyond a simple event, highlighting his genuine love for his supporters. Rather than dazzling like a distant pop star, Jisoo created a warm, intimate atmosphere by connecting with fans face-to-face and leaving a lasting emotional impression.
Together, these “four members, four styles” birthday celebrations not only reflect BLACKPINK’s global status, but also showcase their individuality, proving that at the peak of their career, each member continues to define their own version of luxury, joy and connection.
