来源：富比士官网 http://tinyurl.com/y4k2byml BlackPink: The All-Girl K-Pop Group Following BTS's Footsteps And Taking Over The U.S. It hasn’t been long since BTS took K-pop to the Western mainstream, smashing album records and landing a coveted spot on Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 2018 list. But the future is female with a new act on the horizon: South Korean foursome BLACKPINK is aiming to take the West by storm. The first girl group of any country to land on Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 list, BLACKPINK has set the bar for female K-pop acts on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts and is driving a frenzy among its “Blink” fans over its debut world tour later this month. 宣扬成绩，包括富比士4月1日最新公布的2019年「亚洲30位（组）30岁以下影响力人物」(Asia’s 30 Under 30)（其他略） Since the group’s launch in 2016 as part of the YG Family -- a South Korean pop music empire that includes idol acts like Bigbang, G-Dragon and former girl group 2NE1 -- the group has seized global airwaves with a strong fan base on YouTube, where it is the first K-pop act to top 20 million subscribers on an official channel. The group’s global hit “Ddu-du Ddu-du” dropped last June and peaked at No. 55 on the Billboard’s Hot 11, while “Kiss and Make Up” in collaboration with Dua Lipa peaked at No. 93 last November. The music video for “Ddu-du Ddu-du,” named for its eponymous catch phrase, shattered the K-pop records with over 36 million views on YouTube within 24 hours of its release. 宣扬成绩。（略） BLACKPINK, whose members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa are aged 22 to 24, is the only other K-pop group alongside BTS to dominate YouTube’s top 50 global artists. 成员介绍与宣扬成绩。（略） The girls follow a long line of K-pop groups to find global fandom, with “Ddu-du Ddu-du” following Wonder Girls’ 2009 English hit “Nobody” on the Billboard charts. Yet even though the lyrics are in Korean -- with the first album in Japanese -- the group has a decidedly global appeal. Its biggest fan bases are still deeply rooted in Southeast Asia, but YouTube data shows significant interest in the U.S., Brazil and Mexico and their global tour is taking them to eight countries outside of Asia. （简译）虽然最大的粉丝族群仍来自东南亚，但YouTube数据显示，美国、巴西与墨西哥乐迷对BLACKPINK有着极大兴趣。 Is it their hip hop beats, catchy English lines, striking music video visuals or something else that makes them so appealing to global audiences? The girls themselves attribute their global success to their own composition. Members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa have lived in South Korea, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand, respectively. Lisa, the group’s youngest member, was picked at age 14 from a Thailand audition to become a trainee with YG Entertainment, and is the group’s most multilingual member, speaking Thai, Korean, English and Japanese. （简译）是嘻哈节奏、洗脑英语歌词、引人注目的MV视觉，还是其他东西让BLACKPINK对全球乐迷如此具有吸引力？成员认为是她们的不同的成长背景使然（韩、泰、纽、澳） “As a group with a multicultural background, we have the advantage of being able to speak language freely,” Lisa said in an email interview for this article. “I think it is a great advantage when communicating with fans abroad as well as in Korea. Our music seems to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of race, age and gender.” Lisa在电邮访问中表示：「作为一个由多重文化背景组成的团体，我们拥有随意使用各种语言的优势，我认为这对与海外粉丝沟通，就像与南韩粉丝一样自在来说，有着绝佳帮助。我们的音乐似乎可以被不分种族、年纪与性别的所有人享受。」 As they kick off their “In Your Area” tour this month starting in Los Angeles, their foray into North America, Europe and Australia also represents a sea change in mainstream music. Now signed with Interscope Records for global representation, the group is slated to be the first female K-pop group to perform at Coachella in the music festival's 20-year history. （简译）展开北美、欧洲、澳洲巡回。与新视镜唱片签约。Coachella二十年历史中首支Kpop女团。 “It is still a dream to be able to hold a North American tour,” the group said in an email interview. “The most significant part is letting more audiences hear our music live. We want to show the charm of BLACKPINK only with our vocals and performances. The stage where you breathe with your fans, the live scene is very much anticipated.” 团员们在电邮中表示：「得以举办北美巡回就像梦一般，最具意义的是让更多人听见我们的现场演出，我们想以歌喉与表演展现BLACKPINK的魅力。身处在与粉丝们一同呼吸的舞台现场情景，十分令人期待。」 The girls’ third album, “Kill This Love,” to be released April 5, is the group’s second Korean-language EP and third EP overall. Rosé says the new album boasts charismatic rap and vocals as well as lyrical, emotional music. “This album will be able to demonstrate our musical spectrum, which has become richer,” she said. BLACKPINK第3张专辑《Kill This Love》4月5日发行，这是她们第3张EP、第2张韩语EP。Rosé表示，新专辑包含吸引人的饶舌与歌唱，以及抒情、动人的音乐。「这张专辑将展现我们愈来愈丰富的音乐光谱。」 “It seems that passion for music deepens with time,” the girls added in the group response. “Whenever an album comes out, it suggests various ideas about music, genre, style and concept. We want to show something more perfect. We are in the fourth year since our debut, and we think our group is still evolving.” 团员们在集体回答中指出：「对於音乐的热情似乎会随着时间持续加深，每当有专辑发行时，都涵盖着各种有关音乐、类型、风格与概念的想法。我们想要展现一些更完美的东西。我们已进入出道後的第4年，我们仍然觉得整个团体在持续进化中。」 ===== 只详细翻有成员发言的部分，其他背景类的大家应该都很熟了XD --
