With a studio album and several hits, the group managed to collaborate with great international artists such as Lady Gaga, Cardi B and Selena Gómez.

First name BLACK ROSE (they write everything in capital letters) were born because they wanted a denomination that would describe the group perfectly. They later put the name of the two colors together and realized it was a great combination. Curiously, the original idea was for the group to debut with nine members and under the name PINK PUNK.

Although he has an outstanding career in the world of K-Pop, he is currently recognized for being the lead producer of the YG Entertainment agency.

Teddy Park has worked for BIGBANG, 2NE1, SE7EN, G-Dragon and PSY, among others. His talent has positioned him as one of South Korea’s best composers; He also won the Composer of the Year award at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards and won the 8th Gaon Chart Music Awards held ten years later.
