Meaning of BLACKPINK

- Black: symbolizes power, charisma, and rebellion.
The meaning behind the name is that the group embodies both sides—breaking stereotypes by showing that they are not defined by a single image.
Fandom & Lightstick

Derived from the first and last letters of “BLACK” and “PINK,” it signifies that fans are the vital link connecting the two sides of the group. - Lightstick: Designed in the shape of a hammer with pink heart-shaped heads and a black handle. When activated, it glows pink and makes the signature “bbyong” squeaky sound. The lightstick has two official versions and can be connected via Bluetooth for synchronized light effects during concerts.
