Netflix announced their first Kpop documentary BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky, coming in October.
The documentary directed by Caroline Suh charts the meteoric rise of the South Korean superstar girl group.
The film interweaves exclusive interviews with never-before-seen footage of BLACKPINK members Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa, from their trainee days to the global sensations they are today.
BLINKS will get a first look into the recording process of the band’s follow up album which depicts the highs and lows of being a Kpop idol group.
Fans also get to see up close each member’s incredible talent that when combined creates the unique and electrifying DNA of BLACKPINK that we love.
The film culminates with BLACKPINK’s historic 2019 Coachella performance, where they were the first Kpop girl group to take the Coachella stage.
“We can’t wait to share our personal stories with Blinks all over the world through Netflix!” said BLACKPINK.
“We hope this film will bring joy and light to the viewers, and they will enjoy seeing our journey together on screen from the past four years.”
“The K-pop phenomenon has been sweeping the globe and BLACKPINK has arguably become the most recognizable and most popular girl group in the world,” said Netflix’s Adam Del Deo, VP Documentary Features.
“Director Caroline Suh’s trusted relationship with Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa offers organic and honest moments that give viewers an authentic inside look into the lives of BLACKPINK, as well as the dedication and grueling preparation each member puts into every hit song, history-making performance and sold-out arena tour. We’re thrilled to bring their story to their fans worldwide.”
BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky will be released globally on 14 October 2020.
