BLACKPINK: LIGHT UP THE SKY, Show Another Side of Jisoo and Others as Ordinary Humans

Kapanlagi.com - BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!

Surely the iconic slogan is already familiar and deeply ingrained in the minds of many people, especially BLINKs and K-Pop fans. Soon we will be invited to see how Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa behind the scenes in a documentary film that will be aired on Netflix starting from October 14.

The director of this documentary film, Caroline Suh, had a conversation with Kapanlagi.com about her work. The director claims that here, fans can see another side of Jennie and others that was not known before.

"I think you should see BLACKPINK from an unknown perspective, such as recordings in the studio, the making of their songs, their backgrounds, how the four of them grew up as trainees, and became the phenomenon they are today. So I want to show their lives and thoughts that have never been seen before," said Caroline.

1. Reasons Caroline Suh Wants to Become a Director

The funny thing is that director Caroline Suh doesn't actually follow K-Pop much. But there is one thing that made her finally willing to become the director of BLACKPINK: LIGHT UP THE SKY.

"Netflix has a joint project with them and invited me to be the director, featuring a story about K-Pop that I don't really follow. But in my opinion, this film will be so interesting and enjoyable. That's why I want to be involved," Caroline explained.

2. Reasons for Choosing the Title

Some might wonder why this BLACKPINK documentary film is not titled BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA only? Director Caroline then explained why she chose LIGHT UP THE SKY instead of IN YOUR AREA.

"I want to take a part of their song, How You Like That. Because the moment is very fitting when they achieved popularity," Caroline said.

3. Director's Hope

For Caroline, BLACKPINK: LIGHT UP THE SKY is not just entertainment. She hopes that after watching this documentary, not only fans but also viewers will know another side of Jisoo and others and be inspired by them.

"Nowadays, people spend more time at home because of Covid-19, so I think BLACKPINK's story will be interesting to enjoy. I hope they can see BLACKPINK as humans too, and fans will know more about BLACKPINK as ordinary people. That's what I hope for. I hope they can also be inspired after watching this documentary," she hopes.

Remember not to miss BLACKPINK: LIGHT UP THE SKY only on Netflix.
