BLACKPINK’s new single “How You Like That” has shocked the world. With the song, BLACKPINK broke a YouTube record and they performed the single on Tonight’s show starring Jimmy Fallon. The K-pop group is expected to return in September 2020 with their first full-length album. BLACKPINK also recently launched a line of collectible toys featuring Jazwares, and the products are inspired by all four band members.
BLACKPINK partnered with Jazwares to make a line of toys
There are several products that BLINK can buy in BLACKPINK’s new line of toys. Fans can purchase various three-inch dolls representing the four members: Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. There are 16 dolls in total, and each member has a doll designed with their costumes from their music videos “Kill This Love”, “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du”, “Boombayah” and “Whistle”.
All the dolls are advertised as a mystery so fans won’t know which doll they bought until they open the package. With the Mystery Pop Star set, BLINK will buy a three-inch doll in a microphone-shaped case. The Mystery Superstar Set is a heart-shaped case, and fans will receive additional accessories along with the doll. BLINK can also purchase a Light-Up Plush Heart that lights up with BLACKPINK music.
“It’s so cute to look like mini dolls,” BLACKPINK told Teen Vogue. We want to collect them all! It will be fun to mix and match … We were so impressed by the level of detail on the doll outfits! ”

Members added: “We played with dolls and stuffed animals when we were younger, but we still have stuffed animals in our beds. We can already imagine them on top of our bed frames or on top of our drawers. “
The group has just released a new song.
On June 26, the K-pop band released a new single titled “How You Like That”. The song broke the record for the most viewed video in its first 24 hours of YouTube release and peaked at No. 1 on iTunes in the US.
“This single is a more intense hip-hop song but at the same time maintains the original BLACKPINK color and personality. The message talks about [how] in any situation, we will not lose confidence and we will increase, despite the circumstances we find ourselves in, ”the group told British Vogue.
Since 2019, BLACKPINK has experienced tremendous growth in popularity and fandom size.
“2019 was definitely an unforgettable year that brought us great joy. We were able to perform in larger stages, meet countless people, and we definitely grew and matured from that, ”continued BLACKPINK. “We still say, ‘Did those things really happen to us?’ Being able to meet our fans in person and see them enjoy and love our music gave us more responsibility as a group to show them a better and more advanced BLACKPINK. “
BLACKPINK collaborated with Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga released her sixth studio album Chromatic May 29. The album featured a collaboration with BLACKPINK called “Sour Candy”.
“We spoke to Lady Gaga over a phone call and she said she liked our unique characteristics as a group,” BLACKPINK told British Vogue. “We have all liked Lady Gaga a lot since before our debut days, so it was a great honor for us to be able to work with her. It was a fun project and we hope everyone can enjoy it! ”
