They’re a record-breaking K-pop group that collaborated with Dua Lipa, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez. BLACKPINK also had a song featured in the Netflix original movie, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

They became the mother figures in each other’s lives, and they fill those holes for each other,” she continued. “In terms of research, I know a lot of friends and family who have biracial kids, and I was thinking about her mom as someone I would know…”
