But the future is female with a new act on the horizon: South Korean foursome BLACKPINK is aiming to take the West by storm. The first girl group of any country to land on Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list, BLACKPINK has set the bar for female K-pop acts on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts and is driving a frenzy among its “Blink” fans over its debut world tour later this month. 宣揚成績，包括富比士4月1日最新公布的2019年「亞洲30位（組）30歲以下影響力人物」(Asia’s 30 Under 30)（其他略） Since the group’s launch in 2016 as part of the YG Family -- a South Korean pop music empire that includes idol acts like Bigbang, G-Dragon and former girl group 2NE1 -- the group has seized global airwaves with a strong fan base on YouTube, where it is the first K-pop act to top 20 million subscribers on an official channel. The group’s global hit “Ddu-du Ddu-du” dropped last June and peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard’s Hot 11, while “Kiss and Make Up” in collaboration with Dua Lipa peaked at No. 93 last November. The music video for “Ddu-du Ddu-du,” named for its eponymous catch phrase, shattered the K-pop records with over 36 million views on YouTube within 24 hours of its release. 宣揚成績。（略） BLACKPINK, whose members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa are aged 22 to 24, is the only other K-pop group alongside BTS to dominate YouTube’s top 50 global artists. 成員介紹與宣揚成績。（略） The girls follow a long line of K-pop groups to find global fandom, with “Ddu-du Ddu-du” following Wonder Girls’ 2009 English hit “Nobody” on the Billboard charts. Yet even though the lyrics are in Korean -- with the first album in Japanese -- the group has a decidedly global appeal. Its biggest fan bases are still deeply rooted in Southeast Asia, but YouTube data shows significant interest in the U.S., Brazil and Mexico and their global tour is taking them to eight countries outside of Asia. （簡譯）雖然最大的粉絲族群仍來自東南亞，但YouTube數據顯示，美國、巴西與墨西哥樂迷對BLACKPINK有著極大興趣。 Is it their hip hop beats, catchy English lines, striking music video visuals or something else that makes them so appealing to global audiences? The girls themselves attribute their global success to their own composition. Members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa have lived in South Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand, respectively. Lisa, the group’s youngest member, was picked at age 14 from a Thailand audition to become a trainee with YG Entertainment, and is the group’s most multilingual member, speaking Thai, Korean, English and Japanese. （簡譯）是嘻哈節奏、洗腦英語歌詞、引人注目的MV視覺，還是其他東西讓BLACKPINK對全球樂迷如此具有吸引力？成員認為是她們的不同的成長背景使然（韓、泰、紐、澳） “As a group with a multicultural background, we have the advantage of being able to speak language freely,” Lisa said in an email interview for this article. “I think it is a great advantage when communicating with fans abroad as well as in Korea. Our music seems to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of race, age and gender.” Lisa在電郵訪問中表示：「作為一個由多重文化背景組成的團體，我們擁有隨意使用各種語言的優勢，我認為這對與海外粉絲溝通，就像與南韓粉絲一樣自在來說，有著絕佳幫助。我們的音樂似乎可以被不分種族、年紀與性別的所有人享受。」 As they kick off their “In Your Area” tour this month starting in Los Angeles, their foray into North America, Europe and Australia also represents a sea change in mainstream music. Now signed with Interscope Records for global representation, the group is slated to be the first female K-pop group to perform at Coachella in the music festival's 20-year history. （簡譯）展開北美、歐洲、澳洲巡迴。與新視鏡唱片簽約。Coachella二十年歷史中首支Kpop女團。 “It is still a dream to be able to hold a North American tour,” the group said in an email interview. “The most significant part is letting more audiences hear our music live. We want to show the charm of BLACKPINK only with our vocals and performances. The stage where you breathe with your fans, the live scene is very much anticipated.” 團員們在電郵中表示：「得以舉辦北美巡迴就像夢一般，最具意義的是讓更多人聽見我們的現場演出，我們想以歌喉與表演展現BLACKPINK的魅力。身處在與粉絲們一同呼吸的舞台現場情景，十分令人期待。」 The girls’ third album, “Kill This Love,” to be released April 5, is the group’s second Korean-language EP and third EP overall. Rosé says the new album boasts charismatic rap and vocals as well as lyrical, emotional music. “This album will be able to demonstrate our musical spectrum, which has become richer,” she said. BLACKPINK第3張專輯《Kill This Love》4月5日發行，這是她們第3張EP、第2張韓語EP。Rosé表示，新專輯包含吸引人的饒舌與歌唱，以及抒情、動人的音樂。「這張專輯將展現我們愈來愈豐富的音樂光譜。」 “It seems that passion for music deepens with time,” the girls added in the group response. “Whenever an album comes out, it suggests various ideas about music, genre, style and concept. We want to show something more perfect. We are in the fourth year since our debut, and we think our group is still evolving.” 團員們在集體回答中指出：「對於音樂的熱情似乎會隨著時間持續加深，每當有專輯發行時，都涵蓋著各種有關音樂、類型、風格與概念的想法。我們想要展現一些更完美的東西。我們已進入出道後的第4年，我們仍然覺得整個團體在持續進化中。」 ===== 只詳細翻有成員發言的部分，其他背景類的大家應該都很熟了XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.169.32.48 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/BLACKPINK/M.1554193104.A.9E7.html
