How long did Blackpink train before debuting?

Blackpink trained for a long time before they debuted. Jennie spent the longest time training, which was about six years. She started training in 2010 when she was just 14 years old.

Jisoo and Lisa trained for about five years each. They both began their training in 2011, when they were 16 and 14 years old, respectively. Jisoo originally trained to be an actress, but she later focused on becoming an idol. Lisa faced additional challenges because she was from Thailand and had to learn Korean.

Rosé trained for about four years. She joined YG Entertainment in 2012 at the age of 15 after winning an audition in Australia. All the members went through rigorous training, including singing, dancing, and rapping, and they had to pass monthly tests to stay in the program. Despite the difficulties, their hard work and teamwork helped them succeed and become one of the most popular K-pop groups today.

Their training days were filled with intense practice sessions, and they often felt like giving up. However, they supported each other and kept going, which ultimately led to their successful debut in 2016.
