Warning: You’ll love them more!
1. Lisa’s stepfather is a famous chef
Her stepfather Paul Markus Bruschweiler specializes in Thai cuisine and holds the title of Global Master Chef of the World Chef Association. Even though she’s close to such a star chef, Lisa is actually the worst cook in BLACKPINK!
3. Jisoo is the youngest in her family
Although she’s the oldest member in BLACKPINK, she’s actually the maknae in her family and has an older brother and sister. No wonder she has such a cute baby-like personality!
4. Rosé has a (very) famous fan!
We all know Rosé has a very unique and charming voice, and so does Korea’s #1 solo singer IU! She named Rosé as the female singer she’d want to have a collaboration with.
5. Jennie could’ve been a lawyer
When she was younger, her mom wanted her to be a lawyer or teacher. Imagine Jennie Kim, J.D.!
6. Rosé’s real name is Chaeyoung
Bonus fact: She’s friends with another famous Chaeyoung (from TWICE)!
7. Jisoo has a pet dog
Her dog is named Dalgom and refers to herself as Dalgom’s mom on Instagram posts occasionally
