During the 1-year vacancy, how did BLACKPINK grow and develop?

YG said "BLACKPINK are like a ‘jewel box’ that hasn’t fully opened yet".
- During the 1-year vacancy, how did BLACKPINK grow and develop? 

◇ It’s more like a process of revealing their talent accumulated during their 6-year training, rather than displaying their ‘growth’ that happened during the past year. They are like a ‘jewel box’ that hasn’t fully opened yet, as the fans refer to. BLACKPINK’s hidden talents and skills will soon shine even brighter.

- TEDDY and BLACKPINK, do they have a unique synergy effect. 

◇ TEDDY is YG’s main producer that stayed relevant for the past 20 years while creating numerous hits. For a designer like TEDDY, BLACKPINK is the perfect model and brand to dress the latest trend and music. Many people compared BLACKPINK with 2NE1, and it was inevitable since their break-up and debut timeline were crossing and each group consisted of 4 members. But the models are different and each member has different strengths, so the comparisons will soon disappear.

- The charismatic 4 women on stage are girls full of tension when they are at a press conference.

◇ BLACKPINK’s strength and weakness are that they are mentally weak since they did not experience social life that much. In other words, they are pure and innocent, but I often demand them to get tougher on stage.
