Blackpink does not have an official leader. While many K-pop groups designate a leader, Blackpink operates without one formally assigned by their agency, YG Entertainment. Fans often consider Jisoo as the unofficial or "secret" leader due to her maturity and role in supporting the group behind the scenes, but this is not an official title
. Jennie was reportedly considered for the leader role before debut but declined it, and the leadership responsibilities within the group are shared among members rather than centralized
. Each member contributes in different ways: Jisoo and Lisa help keep the group energized, Rosé manages financial and related matters, and Jennie acts as a prominent public face at times
. In summary, Blackpink functions without a designated leader, with leadership roles distributed among the members and Jisoo often viewed by fans as the de facto leader figure.
