Summary: Since their debut in August 2016, Blackpink has become the highest-charting female K-pop group of all time with their innovative music, eye-popping music videos and internet-breaking fashion concepts. Blackpink: Light Up the Sky serves up the never-before-seen moments that Blackpink’s global fandom — known as “Blinks” — have been cravingSince their debut in August 2016, Blackpink has become the highest-charting female K-pop group of all time with their innovative music, eye-popping music videos and internet-breaking fashion concepts. Blackpink: Light Up the Sky serves up the never-before-seen moments that Blackpink’s global fandom — known as “Blinks” — have been craving for years. The documentary goes deep with each of Blackpink’s four members: Jisoo, the whip-smart unnie (“big sister”) of the group with a quirky sense of humor; Jennie, the rapper whose fierce onstage persona contrasts with her soft-spoken nature; Rosé, the dulcet-voiced Australian coming into her own as a singer-songwriter; and Lisa, the dancing queen whose spark plug personality never fails to make her bandmates laugh. As Blackpink continues reaching new heights in their career — from headlining sold-out world tours to becoming the first female Korean group to perform at Coachella — each member reflects on the ups and downs of fame and the long, often challenging journey that brought them to worldwide success. Blackpink: Light Up the Sky reveals the relatable, unfiltered sides of the foursome, who continue to be a leading force in expanding K-pop’s popularity, proving that music knows no borders or language barriers.

Little of it will surprise the group’s long-time fans (or, as popular parlance now deems them, “stans”) and it will likely spark interested newbies to seek out further information, but Blackpink: Light Up the Sky does a stellar job of introducing Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa as individuals.

Here you get a clear sense of each member’s personality — all but impossible to find on this month’s “The Album” — and of how the four relate to one another. Read full review

Blackpink: Light Up the Sky manages to offer a welcome reminder that even for K-pop's reigning queens, all that glitters isn't always gold. Read full review

While its salute to the artists flicks at the cynical side of their industry, it is less a probing profile than a backstage pass for fans of the band (a.k.a. Blinks) old and new. Read full review

What’s left out of Light Up the Sky is a LOT more interesting than anything we’re shown here. It’d have to be. Because even by the standards of “officially approved” pop phenom bios of the Bieber/Miley variety, this is weak tea. Read full review

Documentário emocionante, quem é fã sai com um amor muito maior pelo grupo e quem não é fã entende o motivo do sucesso delas, que elas batalharam muito para estar aonde estão.

The documentary introduces us to them in a perfect way and gives us some information about their personal life and professional life. It's always welcomed to understand the weight of being famous and help us create empathy.

The way they never gave up and kept working hard is truly inspiring. They were in pain during there tours but still they performed with their full energy. They deserve this success.

They left a lot of personal stuff about the girls out. It seems very bland.
