History
editBlackpink's agency, YG Entertainment, has a history of releasing variety shows to showcase its artists. This list includes variety shows for BigBang, 2NE1, and Winner.[3]
In 2016, Blackpink House first appeared on Naver TV on August 25, after a test of the program concluded on August 21. Following that release, YG Entertainment officially announced Blackpink House to be a program that would allow viewers insight into the members' daily lives, appearances, and interactions.[4] However, there was no other news about the program until November 2017, when YG posted the message «Blackpink TV.»[3]
In December 2017, YG Entertainment released a teaser video on Blackpink's YouTube account.[5] In the teaser, the members of Blackpink were fooled by a candid camera prank by YG founder Yang Hyun Suk.[6]
When the members were stating their wishes such as a summer vacation, Yang Hyun Suk revealed himself to them with a 1-year anniversary cake, surprising the group. Yang Hyun Suk proposed a new show to them, "Blackpink TV", as a response to the members' desire for a vacation to relieve the stresses of their jobs. Additionally, he also stated that as part of the show, a pink-themed house representing Blackpink would be constructed for them to live in during their one hundred days of vacation filming the show.
As of June 2020, episodes of Blackpink House collectively have more than 400 million views on YouTube.[7]
