BLACKPINK released their second studio album, BORN PINK, on September 16 two years ago, with "Pink Venom" as the pre-release track and "Shut Down" as the lead single. This album was also BLACKPINK's final full release with YG Entertainment before they embarked on their individual solo careers.
"Shut Down" is a hip-hop-driven track enhanced by catchy trap beats and a violin sample from Niccolò Paganini's La Campanella. True to BLACKPINK’s signature style, it serves as another powerful girl anthem where the members challenge their critics to "Shut Down" their negativity, asserting that BLACKPINK will continue to thrive despite the disdain aimed at them.
In celebration of its belated second anniversary, we spotlight a remarkable dance cover by MINIZIZE from Thailand. At first glance, MINIZIZE could easily be mistaken for BLACKPINK themselves, as they perfectly replicate the glam look from the "Shut Down" music video.
However, as you watch the performance, it becomes clear that while MINIZIZE's outfits, makeup, and details are inspired by BLACKPINK, their cover of "Shut Down" brings a unique touch and personal flair. BLINKs have responded with widespread praise and admiration for MINIZIZE’s impressive tribute to BLACKPINK.
