Do Blackpink Members Live Together: Debunking the Myths
The question of whether the BLACKPINK members live together has been a topic of much speculation among fans. As of my last update in August 2023, the answer is clear: the members do not live together. Each member has her own residence in South Korea, often in different locations. This article will explore the latest information and evidence behind this claim, dispelling popular myths and providing clarity on their living arrangements.
Living Separately: Separation and Entrepreneurial Activities
Once trainees and eventually making their debut, the members of BLACKPINK have maintained their own private lives. It is a common misconception that they share one residence. In reality, while they do spend a significant amount of time together for group activities, rehearsals, and promotions, they each have their own home.
The Reality behind 'Living Together'
Many fans believe that the members live together when their schedules permit. However, recent evidence suggests that this is not the case. The reality show 'BLACKPINK House' was a clever marketing strategy by Samsung used as a photo exhibition spot, and not an actual shared living space. Similarly, various claims about them living in luxury apartments in Seoul, such as the Seoul Forest Trimage or the Han River Bamseom Apartments, are not confirmed.
Evidence and Details
Several pieces of evidence support the fact that the members do not live together:
1. Lisa's Apartment
When Lisa and Jisoo were seen in an October 2019 VLive, Lisa mentioned that she was at a YouTuber's house, implying that she lives in her own apartment. Similarly, Lisa's video clip has showcased her apartment, which is near the Han River, providing stunning views. Fan speculation suggests that the apartment is quite spacious and might be a 4-room suite costing around $10,600 per month. Lisa's family, particularly her mother and sister, may also have their own residences in Seoul.
2. Jisoo's Living Situation
Jisoo’s living situation is slightly different. She has been known to have her own home where she sometimes hosts live streams (VLives). This suggests that she may live alone, potentially at her parents' home, considering her brother and sister have their own families in separate areas. Jisoo has been particularly independent, often sending gifts to her niece, which implies she doesn't live with her family daily.
3. Jennie's Living Arrangements
Rumored to live with her mother, Jennie's parents' known residences suggest she might also have her own apartment. This is supported by photos published by Lisa and Jennie that seem to be of another apartment. Jennie’s frequent solo arrival at airports, as she is often the last seen leaving, might indicate that she lives alone or in a nearby place.
Conclusion and Future Outlook
The separation of living arrangements among the BLACKPINK members does not undermine their strong bond and collaborations. In fact, having their individual spaces can contribute to better personal growth and sustainability in their careers. Fans should embrace this independence as a positive development, ensuring a healthy balance for each member. The future continues to offer exciting milestones and updates as the members continue to thrive in their individual and group endeavors.
