"Whistle" was discussed by the girls and their producer Teddy Park in the Netflix documentary. They talked about how this song was regarded as a controversial choice for a debut and some producers were against it. But, the girls really fought for this song. "Whistle" would win an award thirteen days after publication, becoming the fastest debut song to win an award. Their other song,"Boombayah" would go on to exceed a billion views.

You guys have become my favorite blackpink reactors. Ya'll are so genuine.

They debuted with two songs Boombayah and Whistle!. Boombayah is a song mostly describes their BLACK side (savage, girl crush, pop etc..) and whistle describes their PINK side (cute, franky, feminine etc..) which is where their name BLACKPINK was born.

They debuted with 2 songs. Boombayah and Whistle Boombayah is the harder one with hip hop vibe While Whistle is on the softer side almost like a country vibe song. Both are bomb. Hope you could react to boombayah next. I always enjoy your reaction and feedback.

You have to realize these girls train for YEARS just to hopefully be able to have a chance to try in a K Pop group. They gave their lives to the company who trained them and they rose to the top of all the other girls. So the fact their first music video and the quality of that first song doesn't seem like a first is well deserved. They kind of are seasoned veterans in their business as they have been working their asses off behind the scene for many years.

“Crazy over you” is also so good. And “Lalisa”, Money” are solos of Lisa.

They actually won Best Music Video in Mnet Asian Music Awards 2016. so yeah, this video is fire.

did you guys notice some scenes here from shutdown? BP literally paid tribute to all their past MVs and shut it d0wn at the same time to start a new era for Blackpink... thanks for always appreciating and seeing the handwork put into every contents BP does. haters often say they dont work hard enough just like other groups but the girls wont reach the level where they are now, if they dont put any effort in everything they show us. what others miss is the fact that BP only let us see the finished and almost perfect product while keeping the hard process on how they get there away from us... BP is not other groups who show everything from the background and other stuff. they dont need appreciation out/with pity... rather, the only thing the girls ask for is to enjoy their music and content as much as you can... my respect for these girls will always be there no matter what others would try to say. try to watch Blackpink Journey and Friendship or their own Netflix docu titled Light Up the Sky. thank a lot buddies.

They won their first win only 13days after debut with whistle. It was the fastest win for a girl group.

you guys should watch their stage performance especially in the tokyodome! It was fire with the guitars🔥🔥

I've been a fan since you guys reacted to PINK VENOM I like that both of you are so honest with your reactions! The fact that both of you started to dig more information about BLACKPINK.. It is really important to know the roots or in other terms.. how they started their journey etc. Hope to see more from both of you! Please react to BOOMBAYAH as well!! Their debut song #2

i really love whistle so much, when i first heard it, back in 2016 i was in shock, i was like oh my god what a perfect song, and to this day it's one of my favorites of them, i love it so much

They technically were seasoned veterans. They all trained for years, 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Jennie trained the longest being six whole years and Rosé trained the shortest which was four years and 2 months. (Which is still very long.) Before debut they were basically in kpop Boot Camp.

Can't wait for you both to see BOOMBAYAH and say "nevermind everything we said in Whistle, they had their sound sorted on day 1"

listen to BOOMBAYAH, you'll ten-folds be amazed with their 2nd debut song if you're more into upbeat music

You guys should react to BLACKPINK - BOOMBAYAH and LISA - MONEY next week please!!!!!

they debuted with two songs, whistle and Boombayah, both are highly recommended

Hey guys I been following your BP journey since the beginning I'm really enjoying your reactions From my point of view there's no difference in what music genre you prefer once you give the ladies of Blackpink a chance you fall in love with their beauty yes, but also with their talent, skills, charisma and their personalities. This song it's so different thar their bosses didn't want to put it out but the girls had confidence in what they created and take home all the awards with this The other debut single Boombayah sounds more like a Blackpink song haha Continue the journey I'll be here for it and thanks for appreciating our four Queens!!

Your blackpink reactions are quickly becoming my favourite! Btw, they debuted with two songs: Whistle and Boombayah. I highly recommend checking the second one

HIGHLY SUGGESTED: LIVE PERFORMANCES such as COACHELLA, TOKYO DOME JAPAN (the raps in here are in ENGLISH more like new version), & THE SHOW PERFORMANCES.

i really appreciate your way of reacting to blackpink, i mean it was all genuine and very appreciative on every songs of blackpink and no matter what, you both could still appreciate how blackpink presents their style in music in variety of ways. Just totally, some blackpink reactors have so much standards and expectations that they could not properly acknowledge the various approaches of how blackpink present songs in different and fresh ways.

You are the best reactor I watched, keep doing what you are doing guys, salute! 🔥

I love ur reactions sm guys. not only y'all pay attention to the lyrics, sound and production, you also appreciate all the girls effort and charisma. Regarding their debut, they actually debuted w 2 singles: Whistle & boombayah. Whistle is meant to show their pink side, while boombayah the black side which they often gravitate to. I recommend y'all listening to the latter since its my fav from those two n its sound is actually rlly unique. I would also love to see a “Playing with fire” MV reaction since its been my fav bp title track for a while alongside “Lovesick Girls”. I dont think they're much ur style but they're absolute BOPS. Oh and watching their live performances is a MUST! they're truly incredible live. Keep it up w the good content guys, can't wait to see more!!

You guys are great! You will thank me later, but you should react to DDU DU DDU DU REMIX live from the Tokyo Dome in 2020 next. It is a stadium show with a live band. It's an encore performance so the vibe is different. It is also in Japanese and the English raps are different as well. It is a completely different experience than the M/V and hits hard.

BOOMBAYAH PLEAAAAASEEEEEEE!!!!! AND LISA - MONEY!!!!!!!!

In Kpop, record labels recruit hundreds of young kids at auditions and just off the street every year. They mostly go into dorms where they start training and are called trainees. They start dance lessons, vocal lessons, some do school, most start English lessons, interview lessons and even how to perform on stage. They are reviewed every month to decide to keep or cut. Those that remain every month, keep training for the chance to be put in a group to "debut". Some train for months and some train for multiple years. Kpop singles are released on TV music programs in Korea, not really radio. Kpop starts on TV music shows.

Rosé hwiparam part is everything

Thanks for reacting to Whistle. This is still considered as one of the best debuts in kpop---this won numerous awards in various music shows. It also the only debut song that garnered a Perfect All-Kill (in Korean music charts, this means simultaneously reaching #1 on the real-time, daily, and weekly charts). Quite the contrary though, THIS is their voice. This was not supposed to be their debut song since their entertainment company felt that this is too "empty" for kpop audience (as kpop is known for bombastic sounds and heavy production) but the girls, together with their producer Teddy, fought for this to be their debut song. True enough, this won them a lot of awards and set them as a group that can bring their own style to the table. Also, fun fact, it was Jisoo who was whistling. This also has an acoustic version, which is really cool.

Blackpink has come far from their start 6yrs ago. And as Teddy stated in their Netflix documentary it was not at all expected. However if you go back over their 6yrs and watch the growth of the group as well as its individual members you will realize that what YG created was by pure brilliance or just dumb luck but either way it's a once in a generation group of hyper talented women with the charisma to match. And the fact that they clearly, and obviously love, adore and protect each other just adds to their charm and appeal. With that said Shut Down, by their own words ends this 6yr era and begins what I refer to as Blackpink version 2.0. Born Pink is new music for them and I'm excited to see where they go with these new themes. As always a great review!

Hi Kyle ! Since you're a metal head, i'd suggest a rock heavy kpop girl group : Dreamcatcher They released their latest album today with the title track VISION They are 7 amazing ladies and all their title tracks have rock influences. Their japanese releases have more metal influences though, i'm sure you'll enjoy them. Hope you'll react to them soon :) EDIT : more song suggestions Title tracks "Endless Night" "What" "Fly High" "You and I" "Chase Me" "Good Night" B-sides like "Tension" "Break The Wall" "My Way" "Scar"

I've been a fan of them since day one, since 2016, and I love seeing how much they've progressed and changed in music, and how they've matured in the industry as well, my girls ♥

🔥🔥 reaction as always guys! Another lyric video you should check out is Love to Hate Me. Also, if you wanna hear their live vocals and rapping I HIGHLY suggest their cover of Miguel's Sure Thing.

They debuted with 2 songs. Boombayah and Whistle. Also "As if it's your last" is good. But I'd say the game changer is Kill this love and Ddu du du du music video. After those two songs they became the biggest girl group up to now.

They debuted with two songs : whistle and Boombayah (1,4 B) this song is the first debut song to hit 1b views in the k-pop girls o boy , 1st generation or 2nd generation.... Is the best of all the time

”Hey boy” - Best Blackpink line ever

Please React To Crazy Over You with Caption or lyrics 💖🔥

This is their 2nd release... Its the pink side... Their debut video is Boombayaah which was the blackside ..

OMG whistle is so so Good💖🔥

Great Reaction Rykerroad! Just wanted to point out that Whistle was the only Music Video that they used Green Screen and splash effects! Popa YG said never again! From here on out hand made sets! Boombayah is the first debit Music Video to hit 1 Billion Views! Hopefully you will get to see why it’s an incredible M/V!🙏🏻

I'm glad you guys are watching the captions! I hope you guys get the layer missed from Ice Nine Kills lyrics too!

you can definitely see their building blocks and its still 🔥💗

I didn't expect for you guys to react to this and was surprised but grateful for it. Going back to their debut is the best way to see and understand how their songs mature to what they are now and "Shutdown" has most of these older videos in it. Well, Boombayah next and work from there on.

They had two debut songs… Whistle and Boombaya. Check that one out as well please.

Now you guys are getting more into BLACKPINK you should watch the Netflix documentary which sort of explains the process of how they rose to fame and the process of tours and you Will also get to know each of their personalities more 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Amazing reaction!!!❤️ Please keep up the amazing work!!!

I really love your videos, because you praise them as a group that they are, and not just one as if the others were back dancers, like most people who react to them do, thank you for always praising all the girls and praising them as a whole group ♥

I love your reactions!!!

Thank you for putting a lot of thought into your reactions instead of just reacting and signing off. A breath of fresh air for sure.

아저씨들 블랙핑크 리뷰할 때마다 블랙핑크 모자 쓰는 거 귀여워ㅋㅋ🖤💖

I'm really hoping you guys will react to BOOMBAYAH next week!!

Whistle is the first and only debut song to get PAK (being 1st on all korean charts)

BOOMBAYAH is the other that were released with WHISTLE. You might want to check it out

I reaaaally enjoy your Blackpink reactions! Keep going good job

Please react to their old songs: BOOMBAYAH PLAYING WITH FIRE STAY AS IF IT IS YOUR LAST LOVESICK GIRLS DUH DUH DUH KILL THIS LOVE HOW YOU LIKE THAT ICE CREAM

Boombayah was the their 2nd one. It's really good too.

Whistle is a chill song because they had another debut song "boombayah" in which the bit and the drop was nasty !

IMO This song and video carry as much weight as their latest. they were Super stars out of the gate and continue to amaze. God bless them.

literally such a incredible debut

Actually this is not there debut song "BOOMBAYAH" is there debut song.Whistle is there second song.but in this song they win there 1st award.I love your reactions guys👏🏼👌🏼☺️. More power to your channel🙏. Stay Safe and God Bless you both🙏☺️.

0:47 I love how everyone immediately notice the Pringles😂

This is one of my favs acoustic ver is so good

The BLACKPINK concept is described in this debut songs..Boombayah is for they BLACK side image and Whistle for PINK side image..

It's time for their other debut songs Boombayah! Whistle was popular in S.Korea but Boombayah was HUGE globally! It made the world took notice

Hello! I missed you two! 😅😊❤️ Really love your voice. Feels like I'm listening to Radio DJs 😁

love all your blackpink reactions❤️ love to watch more,😘

When I first saw you all reacting to these ladies I was like really? Honestly I wanted to check em out and dang I'm glad I did. Great reaction guys!!!

Boombayyah (sp) came out at the same time. When you watch that you'll understand the later videos, but the quietness of Whistle is also a big part of their skill and artistry. Not every song needs to be a 'banger.' From what I have heard, the women fought to get this song, Whistle, released. I think that they wanted a softer side to be part of their name from the beginning. A little black, a little pink, eh? Sure, record execs want every song to be a hard hitting smash, but they were also building a large' brand' here that allows for a wide range of songs. And of marketing away from music.

It has an acoustic version fyi. Whistle Acoustic Version at Tokyo Dome. You should check it out.. they sang it live. Its lit!

It only takes a few seconds for these ladies to make you love them,.

love your shirts, your hats and your reaction :-)

I'm going to mention this in a newer video bc I don't know how much y'all look at old comments but it must be said. I love that y'all checked out Shut Down early because it's SO. GOOD. But I hope you re-react to the Shut Down music video to see all the references to their past videos. The globe shot from this, the bedazzled tank and photo and umbrella from Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, and so many you haven't seen yet!

Boombayah, Money, and Lalisa next! Loved your reactions ❤️ since you’re watching old videos, you’ll realize the references in the new ones from the prev ones 🥰

Thanks for another BP reaction! Love your new thumbnail design btw, just noticed it.

check out their other debut song Boombayah, fire man!

I hope you’ll go see them in concert. 😊

Yesss! I was literally waiting for you to post hoping it was this or LALISA 😂

for Blinks that are listening to BP since the begining, we made the path all the way arround, you started with harder songs, but for us it was perfect

appreciate both the reactors and the viewers who contributed to this reaction.

LOVE YOUR REACTIONS SPECIALLY TO BLACKPINK💯🔥 MORE BLACKPINK REACTIONS♥️

Whistle is one of my favourites by them and I absolutely LOVE the anti drop. I was so happy to see them going back to anti drops in their most recent songs, I’ve literally been waiting for it because of Whistle lmao.

‘Whistle’ would fit their sound just as well on the latest album as it did on their debut. Don’t forget the “Pink” side of BLACKPINK. They are both pretty and savage. Your analysis is understandable if you’re introduced to ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du’ ‘How You Like That’ ‘Kill This Love’ etc. There is a certain structure there that seems familiar. Yet keep in mind their debut had a smooth hip hop vibe in ‘Whistle’ and a club song in ‘Boombayah’ while their early track ‘Lovesick Girls’ is 80’s bubblegum pop. A sound shared with their current song ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’. Debut ballads like ‘You Never Know’ and current ballads like ‘Happiest Girl’. Then of course each girl brings their own artistic influence, like Lisa’s swag, but we can’t forget that Rosé is an Indie Pop Princess at heart who is content to sit on the beach with an acoustic and rely on her musicianship. We can compare her solo sound like ‘Gone’ to early works written by Jennie like ‘Stay’. Of course they bring that 90’s East Coast/West Coast flow they were raised on as a result of Teddy’s influence... But just don’t be so quick to put BLACKPINK into a box. There isn’t one voice that defines them.

Definitely, please do a reaction to BLACKPINK “Boombaya”. It definitely has a heavy beat and you will love the cinematography.

You guys should listen to boombayah, it's their debut song actually, whistle is their second song released

Dudududu remix live at Tokyo Doom and Sure thing things cover please..Blackpink slayed it

I love the atmosphere of the video and the song. thank you for responding to the beautiful🖤BLΛƆKPIИK💗

Whistle is their pink side. Boombayah is blackside

Love your reaction ..Blackpink 🔥🔥

Please check out Boombayah next. It’s their second debut song and it’s the complete opposite of Whistle

If you want more old school blackpink song you need yo see all of them lezzgawwww.....

BOOMBAYAH! BOOMBAYAH! BOOMBAYAH! PLEASE

Don't forget the 5th BlackPink member Production director, manager and mentor, Teddy Park. He had his own boy group in his youth and followed that with the production, manager and mentor of the top 4 member girl crush group at the time, 2NE1, before they disbanded and were replaced by BlackPink.

Thank you guys, I always enjoy your reaction. I suggest As if it your Last or Lovesick Girls for their "pink" side💕

Omg, you're just the best baby blinks. Can't wait for you to find out their personalities and live performances.

They debuted with 2 songs Whistle and Boombayah.. waiting for a Boombayah reaction.

Im loving your reactions. Please react more. Thank you!!!!

YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH THEIR LIVE PERFORMACES OF THAT SONG

they debuted 2 songs boombayah and whistle... whistle is the pink side and boombayaah is the black side..

SQUARE ONE is the debut single(yes I said "single") album containing WHISTLE & BOOMBAYAH". It was released on the August 8, 2016 by YG Entertainment. Whistle is the only M/V that they used GreenScreen An interesting aside...Jisoo is a passanger on the bicycle, because she didn't know how to ride. A Boy Band you should check out is SHInee
