BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky

BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky (2020) is a Netflix documentary you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Caroline Suh. The film gives Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa a platform to speak on camera — something the group's label rarely allowed — and tracks how four individual trainees from the YG Entertainment system became one of the highest-charting acts outside of Asia.

The Coachella 2019 set is the centrepiece, but the film earns it through what comes before: the years each member spent waiting to debut, the pressure that built once they actually did, and what it means to perform in front of a crowd of 90,000 when your face is already on billboards across three continents.

For anyone trying to understand why BLACKPINK landed the way they did, this is the most direct answer the label ever let cameras capture. Stream BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky online on iFILM.
