Blackpink Has Named An Honorary 5th Member

Though he hasn't featured on a track since rapper G-Dragon's 2009 "The Leaders," Teddy Park makes his behind-the-scenes influence apparent in Blackpink's new Netflix documentary, Blackpink: Light Up the Sky. In the preview, Park can be seen in the studio sporting a white mask under his hoodie, striking both a stylish and responsible tone as he contemplates Blackpink's future, asking, "How do we live up to this hype?" (via YouTube). 

It's just the sort of collective consideration that endears Park to Blackpink. "Before we really sat down with Teddy, all of the members talked about him as if he was their older brother, someone they confide in — kind of like a wise sage," director Caroline Suh revealed to The A.V. Club. "I listen to them, but I didn't really see it until I actually sat down with Teddy and interviewed him. He was shy to be on camera and he really didn't want to do it. But he just had so many amazing things to say about them and was so thoughtful. So I kind realized what it is about him that makes them trust him so much."
