Look at you, now look at the road: Blackpink takes over 'Carpool Karaoke'

LOS ANGELES — After making history at Coachella and announcing an upcoming show at Dodger Stadium, Blackpink continued its California takeover this week by appearing on James Corden's latest edition of "Carpool Karaoke."

While driving through the streets of Los Angeles, K-pop idols Rosé, Jennie, Lisa and Jisoo reflected on their early careers and jammed to hit songs by famous girl groups, including TLC, the Spice Girls and, of course, Blackpink.

After belting "Pink Venom" — the lead single of their sophomore album, "Born Pink," and their opening number at Coachella — the women of Blackpink described to Corden the intensive training they underwent to become K-pop stars. During the training program, the musicians explained, they took singing, dancing and language classes — starting at 11 a.m. and running as late as 2 a.m. the next day.
