Thank you so much for helping me get to work. I really, really appreciate it.
Of course, we're very happy. Yeah. This weekend, you played Coachella. Two nights before that, you were in Tokyo. How many people did you play to in Tokyo?
110,000 people.
110,000 people? Just two nights ago? Yeah. And now you're here in L.A. for you, are you for that? Just to help me get to work? Well, he's so kind of you. Are you a good driver?
I, I think so. I hope so. I believe you. Ready?
[Applause] [Music] [Music] Every day. [Applause] [Music] [Music] Follow me. [Applause] Oh my God.
Now, how long ago did you form as a band? It's called like a sort of like a big band camp, is that right? Training, training system. So it's like, call ourselves like trainees. And how long are you there? How long are you in the training camp?
Lisa: Five. Five, six years.
Yeah. And you're just, you're doing what? Dance, singing, language?
Language. A lot of dance work, like popping, different genres of dance. Talk to me. So we're popping. Yeah. So show me, show me some crumping.
Jesus. Right. Yeah, yeah. So your face is angry. Okay. Rosie, show me your angry face when you're from. [Applause] Angry face. Okay. She's the best. So I'm really, I'm really pissed off. Okay. Okay, let's go. Oh. [Applause] Yeah, I went too angry. That was too. That was like a Karen crumb. Okay.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Do I? Oh, yeah. [Applause] [Music] I am. I really felt like I was in training camp. I felt like I was in competition with all of you. Talk to me about when you were at camp. What's a typical day like? What time do you start?
Nine to ten.
To get like, okay, this is already better than my school. 7 AM. And then we practice all through 2 AM. We all come home. And that changes things. Even on weekends, we would get one day off every fortnight on a Sunday. Yeah. I mean, this is an incredible amount of dedication for all of you. Rose, how old were you when you moved from Australia?
I was 16.
16. And you moved on your own to Korea?
Yes, I did.
And I, and then Lisa, I was 14.
I was 14. I was a baby. Yeah. And I don't even speak Korean.
Yeah. And what was your experience? How did you feel when you left home at 16 to go? It must have been, oh, it was probably, yeah, emotional. All my friends were like, where are you going? And what is this?
Tell them. Yeah. I have no idea how I'm gonna explain it, but it's just like acting school, kind of thing, but it's all about music. And I have to live there. And they were like, they were just like, this is so weird. What? Where are you going? I couldn't explain. I'm like, just wait and see. I will show you. Oh, I will show you.
That is absolutely incredible. What was it like at that age when you got to Korea? How did you, how did you feel? I mean, you must have been incredibly homesick at points.
Yeah, I think it's so intense where we kind of forget that we're missing some part of our lives, right? That because there's different tests that we do, different videos that we have to shoot, and it just keeps coming every day, every week. We weren't really looking back to our homes or anything. We're just like, let's survive this. Yeah.
Yes, that was, yeah. Were there any other bands that you looked to for inspiration?
Yeah, loved TLC's music. Yeah. OTLC, really. You know, they had vocals, they had raps, and it had a bit of hip-hop.
Do you want to do a bit of TLC? Yeah. Okay, here we go. You ready?
[Applause] It takes me back. Scrub is a guy that things.
[Music] [Applause] [Music] Now, do you know how many world records you have broken as a band?
We do not.
Okay, this is gonna blow your mind. I'm going to pull in. You have the most streamed female group on Spotify with 8.88 billion streams. You are the most subscribed artists channel on YouTube globally. We're the first female K-pop group to reach number one on the U.S. album charts. Okay, now I gotta tell you, I've been hosting the Late Late Show for eight years, and I have tried to break world records, and I have never succeeded. And I thought we could try and set a new world record. Yeah. Okay. In these bags, what is one of these?
Okay, the fastest time to assemble a Mr. Potato Head. Okay. The time you have to beat is 5.43 seconds. Okay. Our Blackpink ready?
Yes. Yes.
Okay, now.
[Music] All done. Done. Okay, Jenny, you've done the record. Jenny, it was 5.43 seconds. What you did it in 16.7.
The next record we are going to break is the most hand claps all in one minute. The record is 1,141.
Your time starts now. Like when you're laughing like. Okay. No, I'm afraid you did not beat the record. We have one more opportunity. The record is the most Jenga blocks removed in one minute. 32 blocks to be removed. I think it's just the removal of the blocks. Let me wait for confirmation. They said it doesn't matter. We're not going to break it anymore. The time starts now. Go.
Oh, like the little ones. Okay. Five, six, seven, eight, nine. [Music] Ten. [Applause] Guys, we have broken the world record for the most failed attempts by a K-pop band in a car. [Applause]
[Music] [Music] [Music] Look up in the sky, it's so bright. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. [Music]
Now, Spice Girls are a big influence on, on Blackpink, correct?
Like, since I was young, I used to like listen to the radio like with a lot. And then their song came out and then I was like, oh, like I was vibing with them. And we really liked how they have their own individual characters and, you know, yeah, yeah. That was something that we were aiming for. And it was such an iconic girl group, yeah, in the history that we, yeah, that we grew up listening to. I mean, because obviously they had like, Sporty Spice, Scary Spice, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Posh Spice. What would we be if we were going to make that with Pinks?
Aussie Pink. Aussie Pink. Yeah. Aussie Pink is cute. I think Lisa could be Boss Pink. Oh, yeah. First Pink. I think Jenny could be Shy Pink. [Applause] Y, Jisoo could be Nail Pink. Nails Pink. I like that. Yeah. Probably I'd be like, middle-aged out of three Pink. Yeah.
[Music] [Applause] [Music] Really bad. You're ready. [Music] [Laughter] Thank you so much for helping me get to work. I absolutely loved it. I'll never forget it. Thank you. I want to leave.
