Debuting in 2016, BLACKPINK has now been active for almost nine years, reaching the pinnacle of their career and solidifying their status as the number one girl group in the music industry. From their debut, the four girls of YG Entertainment were crafted with a strong, chic, and luxurious “girl crush” image, often adorned in high-end fashion. Thanks to this direction, BLACKPINK became pioneers in collaborating with luxury fashion brands.
Always appearing radiant and elegant like wealthy heiresses, BLACKPINK has often been rumored to be a “silver-spoon” girl group. Over the years, their family backgrounds have been a hot topic among fans. The members have been speculated to come from affluent and influential families. However, not many know that during their trainee days, BLACKPINK once struggled financially to the point they could not afford a birthday cake.
Recently, Rosé shared this memory during an interview.
In particular, in a video titled, “Rosé Judge British and Korean Food”, the main vocalist of BLACKPINK candidly revealed that before their debut, the members did not have much money.
To save costs, instead of buying a birthday cake, they would buy Choco Pies, arrange them in the shape of a cake, and stick candles on top. Despite their circumstances, the girls did their best to make each other feel loved on special days.
Having gone through moments like these together, the bond among BLACKPINK members over the past 10 years has grown to be more than just “sisterhood.” The year 2024 marks a significant transition in their solo careers. All four members are focusing on their individual projects, but whenever they have the chance, they wholeheartedly support and cheer for each other.
Hearing Rosé’s heartfelt reflections, fans have grown even more admiring of BLACKPINK’s relationship. Meanwhile, netizens are left shocked, unable to believe it. Who would have thought that this globally famous girl group, often labeled as “wealthy heiresses,” once could not afford a birthday cake?
