Foreword

Training for years without any clear assurance of debut is tough. But being tied up within your company's vicinity, is just another level of stress. Trainees have to push themselves to the limit, just so they could stand out, just so they can get out from this so called dungeon, and live freely as debuted idols. Each of them worked their hardest, spending almost 10 hours in the practice room, just to memorize the choreography given to them. Practicing their lines over and over again, just to get the perfect note. A lot of things happened, in the making of YG's next girl group. Pink punk was almost formed, 'Future 2NE1' almost made it, some trainees left, and some didn't make the last cut. Only four girls stood out and had the highest potential of finally debuting. It was an amazing feeling. Years of blood, sweat, tears and doubtful thoughts finally evaporating from a thin air. Those four girls named Jennie, Jisoo, Chaeyoung, and Pranpriya, thought that they could finally reach their dream, can finally become the idols they've wanted to be, without being held back. They thought they could finally breathe.

They think that finally they can breathe but ofcourse that would never happen. Because they actually prepare or they will release their songs and for their debut. In August 8, 2016 they released in titled "Square One" and its have 2 songs named "Whistle and Boombayah". It is such a haggard preparation from them, they are many things that they will do more. After releasings their album they prepare to perform on stage and do their best to make their fans happy. After the happy moments they finally go to japan to perform the songs they have. All the fans welcoming and greet them. They are shocked to that all the tickets are sold out! But they are so happy to see that their fans are enjoying and having fun on their songs. Jennie said to Lisa, "We do our best here right? We can do this! I'm so nervous right now! Like my heart will be explode!". When they are on the stage they see that they are so many people or fans they have to watch them performing the "Boombayah" and "Whistle". Finally when they reach the end of their performance, They thanks their fans who go there and said that they will do their best and do more songs!

Jisoo, Jennie, Rosè and Lisa were tired after their exhausting yet fun concert. They suddenly realize that this is just the beginning. But they are happy seeing their fans' love and support for them. On their way to the hotel where they temporarily stay in Japan, instead of sleeping or taking nap, they talk about how happy and fun the concert is. They are so excited to make their fans happy. They want more, more comebacks, more concerts, more events. Eventhough being an idol group is so stressing and exhausting, there are happiness in their faces that no one can describe. Back to the YG headquarters after their concert, they immediately practice their dance, sing and rap skills in order to improve more. So that YG will be proud of them. They also went to other events like fan meetings. They continue to perform their songs in music shows until they get their first win, their first trophy! Finally, this is what they deserve.

Jisoo cried because of tears of joy after they receive their first ever trophy. Finally, after all the hard works and struggles they face to prove themselves in YG, now it turns out into wonderful journey and unforgettable memories being one of the notable Kpop Groups today in South Korea. It also a mixed emotion for other girls to see their Unnie crying but they know that she was very happy when they got the trophy. Back to YG headquarters, Yang Hyun Suk congratulates them for the another milestone they get in their young career. He also give some piece of advices to the members especially to continue being humble whatever the achievements they get and appreciate all of the love and efforts of their fans who support them. Blackpink members wants more and they know that their hard works will be paid off so they decided to back on training room to improve their voice, rap and dance skills. After how many months since the successful debut, YG announces that they will have a comeback which is Square Two.

They were very excited upon hearing the good news. They diligently went back to practice so that they can repay their fans' endless support and love to them by performing good songs. They became very busy in recording the new songs and music videos. They will release two songs entitled "Playing With Fire" and "Stay". The songs were very good that they want to immediately performed it for the fans. After months of being busy for their comeback,their new songs were released. Many anticipated for their new songs and their songs are very well-received by the people. Doing what they love is another thing, but knowing that others like it very much is much more rewarding. They were very happy upon the result of their hardships. They became very busy promoting theur songs. It is indeed very hard to be an idol. Their efforts and hardships paid off as their new song "Playing With Fire" won the Song of the Year. In their first five months earned them several rookie awards at major music award shows, including Asian Artist Awards, Melon Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, Seoul Music Awards, and Gaon Chart Music Awards. Additionally, billboard named them one of the best new kpop groups of 2016. 
Blackpink members were all beyond happy and can't hide their excitement.

Next year came and they knew to themselves that the year is going to start off with a series of award shows. That, of course, means that it's going to be another year where they can show how powerful and talented they are. "Prove them wrong," Papa YG told them which made them more determined to do so. BLACKPINK was a hit among their country and among international countries as well. As a part of being one of the groups who are hitting it big when it comes to the industry, it can't be helped if there are those who don't appreciate them—especially those who came from another fandom. Those who throw harmful banters about them were bitter on how BLACKPINK immediately become a rising rookie idol group. They were bitter about the fact that the groups that they supported were being set aside when it comes to popularity.

"They were born with a silver spoon, of course they would be a hit."

"They're only popular because of the foreign member. Why is she even a member in the very beginning?"

"The main rapper isn't exactly as strong as we thought she would be."

"Her voice is so annoying. It's too squeaky."

"She's just a member because she's pretty."

Jisoo, being the mood maker and the eldest among them, would always hug her members. The hug was so tight and her smile was so heartwarming that her members can't help but be teary-eyed.

"It's okay. It's not true you know," she smiled once again.

"Reading these comments are so funny. What are they even trying to prove? These doesn't make them cool," she laughed.

"I adore how strong you are, unnie," Lisa said, still teary-eyed, but of course she's already smiling sheepishly. Despite of their height gap, Lisa liked being engulfed in her Unnie's hug. It made her forget every banter that pained her heart.

"Woah. My latest group are being sweet with each other," Papa YG told them so as soon as he entered their dance practice room. They were practicing so hard to make their performance good enough for the eyes of many.

"Jisoo-unnie just motivated us! It's really great to have her as an unnie," Jennie blurted out, hugging Jisoo tighter.

"Yah, Kim Jennie. I can't breathe!" She slapped her arm.

"She's so sweet," Rosé added, smiling widely which made her cheeks look so squishy.

"Aww. Is this what she have become because of TVXQ? She became so sweet," Papa YG teased which made Jisoo cover her face because of embarrassment. 

As day goes by, the girls enjoyed their time performing their new song, "As If It's Your Last". They also enjoyed their time spending with their fans through fan meetings and other stuff. One night Jisoo was browsing on their fancafe when she read a fan letter saying they want them to have more songs to release. Jisoo felt bad for them and Jennie was there when she saw that her face was so gloomy.

"Hey, what's wrong ?" Jennie asked.

"Nothing. Just read some fan letters when I saw this." Then she let her read about the letter.

"I feel them. Even I want to have more songs to release but our company don't let us." Jennie said.

"Maybe we can ask our CEO to record more songs in our next album ?!" Jisoo said.

"Will he let us? I doubt it." Jennie replied.

Days and months passby, they already finish their promotion and fanmeets. One day, their CEO called them on their company saying that he has a good news for them. The girls was very excited about the news that they hurriedly went to the company.

"What kind of good news will he give to us? I'm very excited! " Rośe said.

"Let's see when we arrived there." Jisoo said with her sleepy eyes.

"Hey ! Do you play mobile games all night ? You're face was very swollen!" Lisa said.

"I'm not!" Jisoo said as she grabbed a mirror next to her.

Minutes later they arrived at their company straight to their CEO's office.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" The girls said in chorus.

"Ok. Let's sit." YG said.

"I read some fan letters and comments on our social media and your fans want to see you more often that's why i came up with an idea .." He said.

"How about building your own show ? Just like Blackpink TV ? But let's change it. Hmm~ how about Blackpink House?"

The girls was puzzled as they didn't have any idea on what their CEO wants to do.

"It will be a variety show that will be broadcasted by JTBC. I've already arranged everything and contacted persons that will make this show possible. All that is left to do is the filming. This show will be about you and the things that you do in your everyday life. The first episode of the show is already set to air on JTBC2 Channel on January 6, 2018 so you should all be ready for filming tomorrow. The first scene with you four will be on your dorm. Better prepare and rest for now. I'll be with the filming team tomorrow so I'll see you then. That's all. If you don't have questions, you may go now." YG explained. The four of them was left speechless but it shows in their faces that they're already excited about it. They bowed and thanked in unison YG even though they have no clue what would be the run of the filming tomorrow.

This day Blackpink will having a filming in JTBC. When they enter the studio they feel nervous like it was their first time doing it. They just dont know what to do and say in the interview but they think their ready for it.

They ask the Girls some random questions.

The film go smoothly at it should be done.

The girls feel tired when they arrived home.

When the morning came. Jennie cook with the help of Jisoo. And they eat together.

They eat together.

This day was their free time to greet a fan. Jisoo started an V live video of them. 
Some fan ask random question about their hobby and of they can sing some english songs.

They intertain what the fans want. Jennie and rose sing some disney songs. They also tell the fans about their dogs.

Lisa made a signal to the girls that she's already sleepy. The girls decided to lift the mood by sharing ghost stories. The girls wouldn't want to cut the fun with the Blinks. Rose shared her experience in Australia where she was in a friend's house for a sleepover. They were talking about school works when suddenly one of them heard her name being called softly whispered to her own ears, "Nicole".

She asked them if someone whispered to her and they responded that they were not talking anything about her. She freaked out and so are they that's why they decided to stay in the room together and force themselves to sleep. In Jennie's story, it was in a camping site where she was with her friends singing their hearts out and enjoying the camp fire when suddenly someone held her feet and she screamed. She thought it was one of her friends, but, she looked at her back and at her sides all of her friends are looking at her with the expression of " What happened to her?". She gathered all her strength to ask if someone held her foot and everyone was shocked because no one dared to play a joke that night. She had the shivers and asked her friends to go inside their rooms already.

The girls woke up early and went to their rooms since last night they we're together sleeping because of that ghost stories that they shared. The girls wandering around on every cameras that they see, waving, and talking to the camera. The members started to pack their things for their new dorm house.

In Jennie's room, she can't believe that it's happening and having a mental breakdown because her room has cameras in every single corner and she doesn't get used to it yet. In Rosè's room, she holds the camera with her glasses on and she's singing while looking herself on the camera. Until she can't hide her excitement, so she decided to dance along with the music. In Jisoo's room, she's lying on her bed with her phone on and being serious. She's playing a game on her phone.

Lisa on the other hand holding a camera with her, shouted at everyone and said, "Everyone! It's two o'clock. Get up!...Pack your bags!" and she went to Jisoo's room. Jisoo still on the bed lying with her phone up.

"I'm going to sleep with you." Lisa said while going to Jisoo's bed and started to lie down.

"No!" Jisoo shouted, Lisa glanced at Jisoo who is currently playing games.

Lisa got annoyed and said, "Ahh! You're playing games again? Seriously!"

Lisa while looking at the camera and said, "She's always playing games. So, I'm always at her back and tell her to stop playing."

"Why are you stopping me? Playing games is my right." Jisoo said while playing.

"You keep doing silly things." Lisa teased Jisoo, and Jisoo looked back at Lisa.

"What did you say?" Jisoo said.

Lisa laughed.

"I'm warning you. Don't you ever say this is silly. Got It? Don't ever say it's silly. Say, It's good!" Jisoo added.

Lisa went out and went straight to Rosè's room, Lisa possessed by Mr. YG and she called Rosè. Rose burst out laughing because of Lisa's action. Lisa asked Rosè on what is she doing and Rosè said she was practicing singing. Rosè is really excited, and she sings infront of Lisa. Lisa went outside and went straight to Jennie's Room who is currently sleeping. She entered inside while doing some weird actions. On the other hand, Jisoo showed up and tries to wake Jennie up. But it's no use, she goes back to her sleep. Lisa throws herself up to Jennie and hug her up and said, "I'm so sleepy."

After that, Lisa and Jisoo went out and Jennie woke up after. Jennie holds her camera up looking so dazed and told that she was asleep earlier. Going back to everyone, they are all busy packing their things up they showed some of their belongings on the camera as they put it on their pink box & luggage.

Jisoo packed her sweatshirts with her and Rosè laughed because of Jisoo's style.

Lisa bought so many snacks for them to eat when they moved in to their new dorm.

Jennie packed her off-shoulder shirts since she loves off-shoulders items and she bring Michael Jackson hoodie that she cherished so much, that hoodie was with her throughout her trainee days before so it was very memorable to Jennie.

Rosè packing her nightgowns and tells that nightgowns are very important to her. A fan gave the four of them the same night gowns.

In the living room, everyone gathered up with black and a pink box with them putting their things up, securing the cover and putting their names up.

The next day, the girls went to their new dorm that YG prepared for the girls. Everyone looks so happy and you can really see their excitement, an hour passed and they arrived at the venue. The girls were walking with their suitcase and noticed a house that looks like a castle. A pink door infront of them.

As they goes in, the house looks like a forest, a stone stairway, and a big pink house for them. Everyone looks so shocked as they see their new dorm and they can't believe that they're going to spend their 100days here. The house looks so cozy and beautiful. They started to look on every corners of the house and film it, they looked so amazed and happy at the same time. The house is full of pink stuffs. YG also prepared a PC room for Jisoo who likes playing games. They have 2 private rooms with 2 beds each, the bedrooms are fluffy and cozy bedroom.

Going back to the interview before, Jennie mentioned that they don't like staying at home, it's because they just staying in their rooms and they have been living together for over five years, they played games and hung out together. Before when they are trainees they have a lot of time and now they wanted to be alone these days. Since they don't have anything scheduled, they wanted to have freedom.

The girls loves their new dorm, and they thanked YG for preparing all of it for them. By spending their time here, they really feel like they have their own lives, their own freedom. They can do whatever they wanted to do, because it's a gift from their boss. They even went to Lisa's home, Thailand and different relaxing places. Blackpink really enjoys their relaxing time throughout their tiredness and hardships.
 

...They can finally breathe, and Blackpink are no longer in so-called "dungeon".
