JYP Entertainment's New Girl Group JYPn is Being Compared to BLACKPINK

JYP Entertainment is gearing to launch a new girl group, JYPn (tentative name), in February 2022. To hype up the girl group's debut, the company has released several videos and images of the members in the line-up, showing fans their visuals and skills before their debut. In addition, it was recently revealed that the group would have seven members.

Following the reveal of all the members, people started comparing JYPn to BLACKPINK, a girl group signed under YG Entertainment. Why? Because of their stage names.

Lily is being compared to Lisa due to their similar names. Additionally, Lisa is also known as Lily among fans. The Thai idol even has a YouTube channel under the name LiLiFilm.
