just wanna say, jisoo, jennie, rosé, and lisa are so great together as a group. each of the members adds in different colors to the songs, like there’s a reason why they’re this successful, and i personally think it’s because they compliment each other naturally. it’s amazing.

BITCH BLACKPINK ATE!!!! First of all, it was different, different vibe but still felt blackpink-ish if that makes sense. It was giving a coming of age feels. Perfect for them scene plays of friends doing fun shit in movies before something happens. It was gooooood!!!
