Will We Have a Powerful Collab of Two Hottest Rappers, Lisa and Jennie?
As people have known, YG idols are known for their hiphop and swag styles, which are also the signature characteristics of YG. Among other companies' groups, boy and girl groups under YG Ent. are most appreciated for their rap skills. BLACKPINK - the 2nd girl group of YG after 2NE1 consists of 4 talented and gorgeous girls with amazing skills in dancing, vocal and rapping techniques. And if talking about rap, it is undeniable to say that BLACKPINK owns the best rap duo in the categories of K-Pop girl groups.
While Jennie - the main rapper of BLACKPINK is known for her sassy and savage voice with amazing fast rap, Lisa - the lead rapper is famous for her exploding charisma and unique voice that is full of fire whenever it comes to stage. So what is the chemistry that will happen if we combine these two together? Other than that, Jennie is also the lead vocal with a soulful and strong voice that receives lots of compliments from musical experts and Lisa is truly born to be a star with her unreal dancing skills, like she was born to dance.
The Jennie and Lisa rap duo has once happened in "Kill This Love" when the girls appeared as two savage girls, full makeup and spitting fire in every rap line. This part was just so iconic that Blinks and even non-Blinks still talk about it. And of course, every other rap part of them in BLACKPINK's songs. Many articles have written after this happen and stated how boom the K-Pop industry will be if YG debut the Jennie x Lisa collab.
Rumore has it, netizens claimed that this high-expected duo is coming to town closer and sooner more than Christmas. So why do they think that?
There was a Twitter account called @staywblackpnk tweeted about the potential of Jennie and Lisa collab.
"wait....what? are we finally getting a lisa x jennie collab?
@BLACKPINK"
This issue rapidly becomes trending and attracts lots of attention from netizens.
Another account then replied with lots of interesting info:
"if i'm not mistaken this eskimo guy posted on his ig story ariana and the chaesoo photo with selena then ice cream happen. Also he posted cardi b then the collab happen so...."
Seems like this has caused quite a fever because no one knows if it will happen or not. Many say that account @eskimo7474 - the eskimo guy mentioned above is actually an employee from YG. Others say he's sort of an insider therefore they know some facts. Of course, lots of people also claimed that he's just a fan who is obsessed with BLACKPINK.
This happens when the @eskimo7474 posted on his Instagram saying that "Can you GUESS about the Shades of Purple", with a #blackpink and one red heart, one purple heart sticker.
Some have questioned about this and he quickly replied "This has nothing to do with shipping, but has to do with something real and so darn exciting!"
Yesterday, Jennie posted some new pictures of her wearing purple outfit while sitting and hugging her pet. Does this "purple" outfit has anything related to the "purple" in the caption above of @eskimo7474.
The only thing we could do now is waiting for any official announcement of YG Ent. But if Jennie x Lisa collab truly happens, it is sure exploding.

K-Netizens Highly Demand For Jennie and Lisa Sub-unit To Debut
BLACKPINK is famous for being able to "balance" all two opposing concepts, BLACK and PINK.
If the PINK concept is represented by two members, Jisoo and Rosé, who symbolize femininity and have a characteristic girly part of the girls, then the BLACK concept, undertaken by Jennie and Lisa, shows the definition of rebellious personality, extremely strong girl-crush. This perfect combination helps the YG Entertainment girl group have a clear direction and are achieving great success on their career path.
However, what if one day fans witnessed a "double sword match" by the BLACK duo on stage?
Recently, Korean netizens have discussed an extremely hot topic, which is what will happen if Lisa and Jennie "retail" sub-units. This topic immediately attracted the attention of a large number of netizens, because BLACKPINK is currently the number one girl group, the most noticeable name at this time.
- Awesome! I want to come to BLACKPINK concert so bad!
- They complete each other so well!
- Really beautiful and talented!
- I heard that they're going to have an online concert?
- Please give us a song of JenLisa full of raps!!!
- Are they both rap in English when going on tour?
- I really want to go to BLACKPINK concert one time! I just watched their music video huhu. I want to experience it in real lifeeeee!
- They're super talented. That'll be fantastic when they work together in a sub-unit!
Knet has given many compliments to the duo Jennie and Lisa, and is extremely looking forward to if one day the BLACKPINK rapper duo can collaborate and form a sub-unit. Jennie and Lisa used to take on the role of rappers in the group, not only that, but also with a strong girl-crush style. Fans believe that both of them can extremely effectively complement each other, typically the "double sword match" in the super-hit Kill This Love that once made fans "feverish".
In terms of her temperament when performing, if Jennie often shows her classy aura, Lisa shows her ultimate ability to control expressions, so cool that makes fans overwhelmed. The combination of these two Kpop icons definitely creates an explosive performance.
