Kpop companies are probably extremely happy at this recent Blackpink hiatus

  • Bp basically brought a heck ton of attention to themselves and kpop girl groups as a whole, than just wasted all their hype cause they’ve barely done anything group wise.


    I won’t say bp made other kpop girl groups careers cause that’s just dumb but I think you’d be lying if you don’t think their hiatuses aren’t so what’s helping other ggs

  • It’s pretty stupid how you connect other groups success over multiple years to the reason being BP hiatus. It’s their own success, nothing to do with BP especially as BP have rare cbs while others return regularly, how is Bp affecting them if they’re not even that active most of the year?


    The only time Bp will have an effect is of course during their cb and that will obviously overshadow other ggs who are promoting at the same time or a couple weeks immediately after.

  • I think SM is the happiest they aren't doing any group activities tbh because they are doing anything they can to make aespa the #1 gg ww like look how quickly SM told reporters that aespa sold out LA YT showcase & added another day but their 1st showcase isn't even sold out by the tweets I've seen from mys on twitter.

    I think so too. SM is really trying. You’re talking about this one https://mobile.twitter.com/aes…tatus/1536536246994239488 and the k-media articles? Is it really not sold out though? Probably scalpers?


    Except for mys and sm stans everyone knows BP is still the #1 global gg even during group hiatus. Doesn’t matter how much mediaplay sm does. BP still make waves and news with their fashion related projects.

    reseller but still sold out. A sale is a sale

  • It doesn't work like that: Aespa had Next Level release in the exact same week as BTS and some other digimons, blocking them on charts, wins and whatallnot. Yet NL still became a huge success and Aespa the hype of 2021. And there's many examples like that.


    If OP's reasoning would be followed through, then you also have to include BTS and IU and that means companies would be completely stressed out and on the verge of failure with their boy groups and solo artist debuts and comebacks due to BTS and IU's constant activity.

    You could even make an argument for the opposite: the fact that BP has such long hiatuses is a setback and extra roadblock girl groups need to overcome.

    BTS and to a much lesser degree BP generate a lot of hype and buzz worldwide, also for k-pop, making people start to pay attention to other k-pop artists too to see what else is out there. If BTS and BP are out of the picture for a long time, that international hype will die down, so that other groups can't profit from that heightened interest anymore too.

    SM is, the company wants aespa to be the #1 GG WW

    :thumbup:


    They're not called SMediaplayEntertainment for nothing :pepe-toast:

  • Not y’all naming Aespa alone, anon needs to leave them girls alone


    Let’s be honest this bp hiatus be helping **all** girl groups a bit.


    Didn’t make their careers but cmon now the biggest gg disappearing for almost 2 years is gonna help the rest now


    Like I was a top Kpop company I’d be happy cause yg is so dumb giving the other girl it’s time to catch up, trust me one day yg ain’t gonna be so lucky and there’s gonna be a girl group who’s really be surpassing blackpink

    LOL

  • I am not sure about the gg success being credited to bp only. In my own opinion and I could be wrong but I think it’s the gg age because of all the previous boy groups scandals related to their sex. Many korean kpop fans just got tired of being disappointed with bgs that they ignore new ones (even if theyre innocent you don’t see the same craze as before). However, BP’s absence does indeed help lessen the competition when the biggest gg in the world is not promoting.

    It is sold out you stalker. Resellers bought a lot of tickets hence why mys are complaining. But it was sold out immediately and there was no reason for SM not to report that. I don’t know if youre new to concerts or youre acting clueless because its aespa but resellers are unfortunately very common and when you hear a group sold out their tickets it doesn’t mean that resellers didn’t get their hands on those tickets. It’s stupid that the most basic things that occur to all groups suddenly get weaponized with groups like aespa.

  • Thank you YG for paving and getting out of the way for my faves

  • People can deny all they want but it holds a bit of truth because if bp promoted like they did in 2020, they do take away a lot of attention from other ggs but people are dumb to single out only one single company.

  • Oh look at blinks being their usual catty selves. Aespa always on their mind

  • Y'all acting like other ggs were flopped when BP was having comebacks.

    Tomboy and next level would still be hits.
