The music video for Blackpink's new single, "Pink Venom", is a sight to behold. Lisa, Jisoo, Jennie and Rose cycled through what it looks like 20 different outfits in three minutes and 13 seconds.
There were numerous name-droppings of luxury fashion labels too.
"Kick in the door, waving the coco," goes the opening line of the song. Sung by Jennie, it is a possible reference to the founder of the Chanel fashion house, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel.

Each one has been appointed global ambassador of the respective brands.
