* KindheartedCatLover: Lisa is well known for her fondness of cats, having adopted five of them in three years. This led to some people being taken by surprise when she then adopted a dog (a Doberman, no less) in 2021.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Rosé hails from Australia, Jennie spent her formative years in New Zealand. Lisa is fluent too.
** SurprisinglyGoodForeignLanguage: Lisa is Thai and she's obviously fluent in the language.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: All of their songs contain English lyrics, and they're very good for a Korean-produced song (presumably because Rosé and Jennie grew up in Australia and New Zealand respectively). The Japanese songs even have their rap verses written in full English. "Ice Cream" is mostly in English, save for part of Lisa's rap, and three other songs on ''The Album'' are entirely in English. ''Born Pink'' has half the songs be entirely in English, plus fully English raps on all but one of the other songs.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Only two of their first five songs ("Whistle" and "Playing with Fire") hinted at their usual sound, [[FranchiseCodifier codified]] by the ''Square Up'' EP as being a mix of pop, EDM, and hip hop. "Boombayah" stands out in that it is not so much a pop song but a full-blown dance song.

** In the same year, Lisa debuted with the song "LALISA".

* TenderTears: Rosé cries often. In ''BLACKPINK HOUSE'' Episode 3, she cried because her pet fish died. Episode 4, she cried when Lisa's parents showed up and almost cried again at a good view. In episode 7, she cried tears of joy because the noodles tasted good (... and many more)

* DreamTeam: Collaborated with Music/LadyGaga for her song "Sour Candy" and had Music/SelenaGomez featured on "Ice Cream."

* BareYourMidriff: All over the place; especially in live performances.
