Jennie the super shy from Seoul, Lisa, the heart of the band, the rapper, and the lead dancer from Thailand, Jisso, the quiet one from Sanbon in Gunpon city and the lead singer, the very talented and passionate singer Rose from New Zealand. They all shared how they were discovered by YG Entertainment. The show also described how talents are recruited by the company. Few get the chance instantly if they have the potential and few wait for decades. 

The series is a one-on-one interview-based show where you can watch each band member describing their journey showing their different persona from the World Icons they are. The Director, Carolina Suh tries to bring the best by giving them a chance to share their weak and strong moments. They live in a posh dorm like a girl's hostel where they become more than a family. Going through all the rigorous training for years away from family, testing their patience, sharing each other's moments are some worth watching scenes. They laugh, they cry like every other teenager.

While talking about why Blackpink works so perfectly according to the producer and 1TYM member Teddy park says "We are just Korean People making music and when Korean people make music, what it would be called...K-Pop", "Every group has their own different cultural background that makes them who they are", "They are huge and they are so successful". He says they are all unique and are a deadly combination because of that uniqueness. But the constant competition lurks in their mind because of the constant recruitment of talents who can replace them anytime if they are not relevant enough anymore. With the constant popularity of K-Pop with bands like BTS, SuperM, BIGBANG, and many. The pressure is high but it has almost become a norm in the music industry to deal with it.
