This Blackpink quiz has 96 free questions with answers and runs from the YG Entertainment auditions of 2010 through the 2016 debut, the breakthrough of Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, The Album and Born Pink, the record-setting tours, Coachella, and the members' solo careers up to Deadline and the tenth anniversary in 2026. It covers the four members' backgrounds (which two grew up outside Korea, who auditioned in Thailand, who acted in The Idol and The White Lotus), the group's records on YouTube, Billboard and the charts, the fandom name, the fashion houses, and the odd corners like the names the group nearly had. Roughly a third of the questions are easy enough for a casual listener; the rest climb to details only a committed Blink will know. It works as a solo test or a round for a K-pop quiz night. Every answer has been checked against a reference source and each question shows its citation.
