BLACKPINK Discusses the Difficult Period of Trainees, Starting with No Money to Disruptions That Make You Horrified

Before debuting as an idol in 2016, the members of BLACKPINK (Black Pink) had undergone years of training. Those times were recalled by the 4-member girl group on the latest episode of their variety show, "24/365 with BLACKPINK".

While enjoying cocktails and snacks, BLACKPINK talked about their trainee days. Rose shared that they rarely ordered food like chicken when they were trainees, and Jennie said that the food she remembered most was scrambled eggs and strawberry jam.

Rose added they also had dumplings and oriental sauce and asked, "What combination is that?" Lisa wondered why they ate so much, and Jennie explained, "At that time, we didn't have money to order food every day. So when we went shopping for groceries once a month, we would always buy strawberry jam and eggs."

The members also talked about the horrors of living with cockroaches and centipedes. Jennie said that Lisa was the bravest when dealing with insects and Jisoo said, "We will be behind her and support her, and then (picking up the insects she catches), she will ask, 'What should I do next?'"

Then they discussed the difficulties of living in a dormitory. Jisoo admitted that he was a bit sorry to move into the dorm at that time because life was very difficult. Rose shares that she didn't even know that she would separate from her parents so quickly. He remembered being shocked when his parents said goodbye to him and cried in the hostel alone afterward. Another member claimed they were crying too, and Jennie said, "We were most attached during those difficult times."

Rose admitted, "I never danced before becoming a trainee. Jennie taught me basic movements first, but I was like, 'What am I doing now?'" Jennie added, "He kept saying it was the first time he had done something like this."

Rose said, "I had a mental breakdown because we had to do it for months. But I started to want to dance well after seeing Lisa. She was very good at dancing, and I thought I wanted to be like her."

A staff member asked if they sang other artists' songs when they were trainees. Jennie answered, "Of course. We sang more than one hundred songs," and Jisoo added, "We didn't have our own songs at the time." Then Rose played the guitar when they sang Jessie J's "Price Tag", 2NE1's "Lonely" and "You and I" Park Bom.
