BLACKPINK will be returning to reality show shenanigans with their self-produced show titled B.P.M, aka BORN PINK MEMORIES.
On December 1, 2022, YG Entertainment released a teaser of B.P.M with a retro movie reel aesthetic. The video worked on heightening the curiosity of the quartet’s next series of promotional activities, especially since they made a Korean album comeback with BORN PINK after nearly two years.
Similar to the album, the upcoming variety show also marks the idols’ first reality show in two years. The group's last show was 24/365 with BLACKPINK, which was released in 2020. The first episode of B.P.M, titled Roll #1, was released on December 2.

YG Entertainment gave BLINKs unexpected news by dropping a teaser for the quartet’s reality show. The teaser of B.P.M, or BORN PINK MEMORIES, showed a cinematic montage of the girl band as their song Shut Down played into the background.
The show aims to take fans on a new journey as it will showcase the Pink Venom group’s natural side while working on their latest album promotions. The agency shared that fans can expect “a wide variety of episodes” with the charming factor of seeing the Pink Venom singers' hard work and process behind the BORN PINK album.

“BLACKPINK will show off a natural, entirely different side of their charms from when they’re performing on stage. In addition to behind-the-scenes footage from their activities, they’ll be communicating with their fans from up close through a wide variety of episodes.”
B.P.M’s first episode, which was an eight-minute video, featured the set locations for BORN PINK’s music videos. Each member talked about the importance and meaning behind the respective sets, giving fans an insight into the creative choices behind it.
The locations included in the premiere episode are the Disused Quarry (Jennie’s solo set), River of the Black Heart (Rose’s solo set), BLACKPINK street (Jennie and Lisa’s unit rap set), Tomb Raider Dome (Lisa’s solo set), and Geomungo Cage (Jisoo’s solo set).
