Black Pink shared about their debut year and goals for 2017. 

In an interview on January 19, Jisoo picked the time Black Pink won #1 as the happiest moment of 2016. Jennie agreed and said, "Honestly, we didn't have big expectations for our first album so we just waited, hoping to get noticed. When we actually won #1, it felt unreal. We were also startled at the fact that the public noticed us and listened to our songs. It was unbelievable. It was also more meaningful because we didn't win #1 at once but slowly climbed up the charts. The members screamed and even danced when we reached #1."

Lisa shared next, "I want us to be more noticed to people and with good sides of us in every song we release." Jennie added, "This year, we want to work hard in both our album and broadcast promotions so each and every member can be more noticed."
