The film is directed by Caroline Suh and produced by RadicalMedia. It will feature exclusive interviews with members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, which will also contain never-before-seen footage.
It will chart the rise of the band, which was ranked recently in the Billboard Hot 100 with "Ice Cream", their recent collaboration with Selena Gomez, as well as look at the band’s recording process, the highs, and lows of being a K-pop idol, culminating with their 2019 performance at Coachella.
Blackpink scored with "Ice Cream," a new career-best rank on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart after the track debuted at No. 13 on the chart.
“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.” Netflix's Adam Del Deo, vice president of documentary features, said in a statement.

In 2016, the group debuted with their single album, “Square One”. They were the first girl group to debut under YG Entertainment in six years after 2NE1.
Blackpink’s commercial success in their first five months earned them several rookie awards at major Korean year-end music award shows, including the Asia Artist Awards, Melon Music Awards, Golden Disc Awards, Seoul Music Awards, and Gaon Chart Music Awards.
Additionally, Billboard named them one of the best new K-pop groups of 2016.
They also reached number one on the weekly, popularity, music video, and K-pop music video charts of China’s biggest music-streaming website QQ Music.
As of 2019, Blackpink is the highest-charting female K-pop act on both Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200.
