YG Entertainment also said that although the global music market is affected by YouTube, the new record of the female Kpop group is also an important indicator. BLACKPINK's popularity gave way to their own reality show. The popular show can be watched on YouTube, which will focus on their lives within 365 days.
It will also showcase different types of challenges that the members will need to complete each day. One of the current trending episodes is "BLACKPINK - '24/365 with BLACKPINK' EP.4" which will give them a "meal challenge."
The "Meal Challenge"
In this episode, the Kpop group will be given a challenge where they'll need to use their telepathic abilities to create a yummy dish. They'll be asked to stay inside a room. The first one to leave the room will have to choose one of the ingredients presented in the table. After the first member picks her ingredient, she must not tell the following member what she chose, and hope that person won't also pick her choice so that they can make a proper meal.
The first one to pick in the challenge was Lisa. She was presented with six ingredients are fish cake, vegetables, spice, rice cake, side ingredients, and noodles. The members will need to pick the right ingredients to cook a meal called "Tteok-booki."
Lisa decided to pick rice cake. However, the staff told her that other members might also pick that one. The next one is Rose, who lucky chose noodles, leaving spice, fish cake, vegetables, and side ingredients remaining. The end of the video revealed that two of them chose noodles. However, all of the ingredients they picked, rice cake, spice, and noodles, can still be used to make Tteok-booki.
