With 2NE1’s popularity as a four-member group, many fans assumed Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa were hand-picked to be YG Entertainment’s next queens. BLACKPINK was set to debut as a five-member group, however, the fifth member was dropped. What went wrong?
When a photo of BLACKPINK with a fifth member surfaced online, people wondered why she didn’t join the group. Cho Miyeon, who was a YG trainee for five years before joining Cube Entertainment’s (G)I-DLE, is the girl in the picture.
After witnessing Miyeon with Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, comments like “No wonder she felt like BLACKPINK,” “I think she would’ve been popular as a BLACKPINK member too,” and “She’s absolutely BLACKPINK” began to pour in.
The majority of internet users agreed that the (G)I-DLE singer has the face and atmosphere of a BLACKPINK member. So, why was she kicked out of YG Entertainment’s famed female group?
On a trip to Japan, Miyeon was spotted with MIX & MATCH participant Jung Jin Hyung, according to rumors. Because YG Entertainment is notorious for its anti-dating policy, the former YG trainee’s decision to go out in public with a male companion could have damaged her future as a member of BLACKPINK.
Despite the fact that this theory made a lot of sense, the real reason Miyeon didn’t debut alongside Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, or Lisa was never revealed. However, the (G)I-DLE singer claimed that she had an excellent relationship with the BLACKPINK girls due to the fact that she spent so much time with them.
While fans are still perplexed as to why BLACKPINK didn’t launch as a five-member group, a representative from YG Entertainment confirmed that the group was planned to include more members. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa were the four members of BLACKPINK, and their combined talents were enough to make them immediate superstars.
