BLACKPINK's Confidence, Femininity & Empowerment

BLACKPINK is the biggest girl group in the world right now. But what do they stand for? What makes them the confident K-Pop queens we know them as? And should we look up to them? In this video essay, I try to answer these questions. Please leave your thoughts in the comment section!

05:56 THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THEIR CONFIDENCE
22:37 IS BLACKPINK REALLY THE REVOLUTION?

~ My answer to the question what I feel empowered or inspired by (regarding artists I follow) ~
1. Someone who’s in charge of their career and makes their own decisions and art.
2. Someone who’s authentic and choses to be vulnerable with their fans.
3. Someone who’s uplifting other women/ people and their fans in their interaction with them as well as in their art.
4. Someone who’s not afraid to be the smartest in the room. Someone I like to listen to in interviews and who’ll make me think.

What is it for you?
