@Nkon21 and Flabshoe1: sorry for the delay. As soon as I complete John Rudge's review, I'll continue with this one. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 01:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Lead

• "Cited as the "biggest girl group in the world"," → WP:WEASEL
• "they are considered" → WEASEL
• "two billion views on YouTube, and remains" → wrong comma
• "since Danity Kane in 2008 and set two" → "since Danity Kane in 2008, and it set two"
• "The album's lead single "Pink Venom" (2022) was the" → "The album's lead single, "Pink Venom" (2022), was the
• "Blackpink have broken" → Blackpink is or Blackpink are?
• "30 Under 30 Asia, and were named" → unneeded comma
• The whole lead is about achievements. Will the whole article be about accomplishments? This is not List of awards and nominations received by Blackpink or Cultural impact of Blackpink. How did they come to be? They were not born successful. What do they do while not performing? I know the article has that information because you have the sections Formation and pre-debut activities, Endorsements, Philanthropy. If they exist, then they are important enough to have subsections that can be summarized in the lead paragraph.

2010–2016

• "Blackpink began forming" → when, in 2009? Because 2NE1 also formed in 2009
• "the pace of training alongside the culture shock was especially difficult" → "the pace of training and the culture shock were especially difficult"
• "Since then, numerous news and rumors surfaced" → "news stories". Also, "since then" implies that this hasn't stopped
• "It was only on May 18" → "It was until May 18"
• "member revealed, on June" → wrong comma
• "native country Thailand and" → "native country, Thailand, and" or "native Thailand"
• "Jisoo also made a cameo appearance in 2015 drama" → in the 2015

@Nkon21 and Flabshoe1: I'll continue either tomorrow or on Thursday. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 04:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for starting the review. As per your comments, I have updated the lead to incorporate more sections of the article, and have corrected the grammatical errors listed. Flabshoe1 (talk) 02:26, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks.

2016–2017

• You can link single album since it is not a common term outside South Korea.

It was described as a "mixed genre of music" → by whom?

• "Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, becoming their first song to enter the Bubbling Under Hot 100" → repetitive
• "The music video for the song later..." needs to be moved to the previous paragraph.
• "self-titled Japanese extended play" → "self-titled Japanese extended play (EP)"

2018–2019

• "one on Gaon Album Chart" → the Gaon
• "led Blackpink to becoming the first" → "led Blackpink to become the first"
• "Gaon Digital Chart while "Forever Young"" → "Chart, while "Forever Young""
• "and became the highest-charting song by a Korean girl group in the country" → at that time
• "the second most-watched music video of all time in first 24 hours of release" → "the second most-watched music video of all time in the first 24 hours of release
• "at Kyocera Dome Osaka" → "at the Kyocera Dome Osaka"
• "By the end of its run, the tour became" → The way it is written, "By the end of its run, the tour had became"
• "marking Blackpink's second entry in the chart" → on the chart
• "The group embarked to Japan for a variety of promotional activities" → "The group embarked on a variety of promotional activities in Japan"
• "In January of the following year, Blackpink were" → Blackpink is or Blackpink are
• "Break the Internet Awards™ list" → Legal symbols are discouraged

I had 2020 already but an edit conflict occurred. So I'll redo it tomorrow. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 03:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
