Get ready, BLINKs. A Little Golden Book‘s biography on beloved K-pop girl group BLACKPINK is currently available for preorder.
The book can be preordered through Amazon for $5.99, and will be shipped out starting Dec. 2, just in time for Christmas. You can purchase a Kindle or a hardcover version for the same price. The biography, which was written by Jessica Yoon and illustrated by Honee Jang, chronicles the life of members Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé from their childhoods to trainee years under YG Entertainment, up until their eventual debut in 2016.
Readers are then taken on the whirlwind that was the girl group’s success through colorful imagery and descriptive text. The book highlights some major moments in the K-pop act’s career thus far, from releasing hits such as “How You Like That” and “DDU-DU DDU-DU,” to headlining major festivals such as Coachella. While this book is meant for younger readers in the 4 to 8-year range, it would make a great gift for BLINKs of all ages looking to learn more about the girl group they love.
If you’re not into BLACKPINK, A Little Golden Book has biographies on a slew of artists, K-pop or otherwise, including BTS, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Prince, Cher and Chappell Roan. On the non-music front, the book series also covers historic figures both old and new, including Rosa Parks, Serena Williams, Maya Angelou, Jimmy Carter, Colin Powell, Katie Ledecky and Jane Goodall. Each book is meant to give young readers a better understanding of important figures through easily digestible text and fun visuals. In simple terms, it makes learning fun.
BLACKPINK first hit the scene in 2016 with its debut song “Boombayah.” The song went on to top Billboard‘s World Digital Songs chart in the first week of sales. Fans have watched the girls rise to stardom, and now, BLACKPINK has many impressive accolades under its belt. The act is the first K-pop girl group to play at Coachella and to reach one billion YouTube views.
Fast forward to 2025, and the group’s single “Jump” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 with 123 million streams in the week ending on July 17. This achievement marks the girl group’s third No. 1 song on the chart after “Pink Venom” and “Shut Down.” With the group is breaking records left and right, they’re definitely biography-worthy.
