In July 2012, YG Entertainment drew attention with a video titled “Future 2NE1”, through which 4 female trainees were introduced. The video showcases impressive vocal and dancing skills of all 4 members. They were once expected to become the next legendary YG girl group following 2NE1. However, despite being a YG trainee for a long time, none of these girls had the opportunity to debut in BLACKPINK.
