Blackpink solo popularity is overrated

    Blinks are always seen shading other idols with blackpink solo popularity. Acting as if only blackpink members have solo popularity and they are more popular than other idols. But when it comes to results we see blackpink members do just as well as other idols not better than them. They sometimes even do worse than other idols individually.


    Examples :

    Which is interesting since in BP's case being from YG helped in Japan because it helped it to establish something in there.

    The Senior Singer will have to start from the base again, which she is unlikely to do. She won't do anything unless she is invited to.

    Blackpink members who are touted as the most popular kpop individuals never show the results when the time comes.


    Nayeon got as many pre-orders as rose. Her album will outsell rose album. She is also doing better than rose in korea. Jhope album will outsell lisa. Jhope's songs have charted higher than lisa on hot100. Baekhyun outsells all of them. Nayeon and jhope are doing better initial numbers on spotify than rose and lisa. Nayeon and jhope are not even the most popular members of their groups. Blinks are always seen mocking bts and twice members for not being popular individually. But here we can see blackpink members who are the most popular kpop idols individually don't do as well as these two. This proves blackpink individual popularity is overrated.


    Even on instagram bts members have more engagement than any blackpink member. They are already catching up to the numbers that bp members took years to reach.


    Blackpink is supposedly the most popular individually don't do better than unpopular kpop individual of other kpop groups. Is this because their individual popularity is overrated?

    Some of y’all really do find a lot of fun discrediting a group who been in a almost 2 year hiatus.


    At least wait for the damn comeback to talk about their popularity

    Nayeon outselling Rosè is due to album sales rising hard every year and kpop. Same for Jhope and Lisa. And no Nayeon didn’t do better than Rosè or Lisa initially on Spotify. She didn’t even debut in the top 50 let’s stop coping now. As for Jhope he is in a bigger group so of course he will have a bigger debut. But he didn’t have the longevity that Lisa and Rosè had internationally on Spotify. Blackpink have the most akgaes but individually they still can’t beat BTS members in searches except Lisa.

    Your proof are BTS members when most blinks would agree they are more popular than BP? wow good one you really showing us.


    And nayeon is doing well but she's not really outperforming Rosé, at best in kcharts but with a korean vs english song. Let's also not forget she's probably the least popular BP member

    The thing with BP is that they all have their solo fandom, doesn't matter how big or small it is, they've a fandom to back them up in whatever they come up with. Meanwhile some other soloists heavily depend on their groups' fandom who don't support every activity. Not a blink but it's something I observed.

    Nah dude you should be comparing Nayeon to Jennie not Rose. Because Jennie went solo first and both are the most popular members in Korea plus both are centers.

    even if you write a book about it...we will still laught at you :pepe-clown-walk::pepe-clown-walk::pepe-clown-walk:

    nayeon had a whole 7 song mini with 4 standard versions and a month preorder whereas rosé single album had 1 standard version and 1 week preorder. Album sales also increased significantly since last year yet not much difference of preorders lmao. And btw nayeon didn't do vastly better than rosé in kcharts either for you to act so arrogant.

    What's the matter? Your faves being ignored again?

    nayeon really outperforms rosie pop is more popular than rose song even in western countries and in sea the only thing she outdone nayeon is YouTube views and hot100 all she is a part of bp.

    Western countries lmao. No, neither nayeon nor twice will never outperform anything bp related in the west. Chart a week on us spotify at all then we talk

    Let's not lie. They have a good amount of akgaes due to their solo branding and being solo endorsers, but a great majority are still blinks. Except maybe Lisa and that's mostly because she gets a push from Thailand.

    I honestly feel like their fandom thinks that because of their solo endorsements and being popular in terms of being 'influencers'. But they should know that endorsements doesn't equate to music. They may do well or okay in solo music but that's mostly tied to being in blackpink and having a huge fandom. Blackpink kinda reminds me of Selena Gomez tbh. Successful in music but more known as being influencer. That's probably what kind of popularity they are talking about. But then again those people who follow them on ig, doesn't mean they care about their music at all. So, I kinda agree on this post.


    Not a fan of any of these fandoms, btw. Just a mere observation.

    For better or for worse, blackpink individual power is stronger than BTS thanks to akgaes and solo stans

    whereas BTS is stronger as a group. End of discussion.

    op is literally the minion who made nayeon being the most successful 3rd gen soloist thread or something in main when its further from the truth. And now hiding behind bts to make twice look like they are bigger than bp individually. Anyways 3/4 of bp soloists already proved they can stand on their own, we will see if the other 8 girlies in their fav group does the same.

    Why does this always happen right before Blackpink make a comeback ?


    People can't seem to cope. It's like all their hopes and dreams they have for their faves are about to be shattered into a million pieces and they loose their shit, make dopey statements like Op's dribble above and start babbling nonsense, like every single time. Just admit you're pissed and move along already lol.


    It's like you put the two words together, Blackpink and Comeback, and something unseen draws out the Stupid in people. It's hilarious lol.

    Since when has Selena Gomez OR Blackpink been known for being an influencer lmao…sure they do many influencer-esque things but at the end of the day their brand value is strongest as musicians. For Selena you could add acting as well.

    Nayeon outselling Rosé? Rosé is reaching 700k sales, Nayeon will be stuck in 500k at most.

    Spotify better initial numbers? Rosé had top 10 debut and peaked at 12m uls. Nayeon won't surpass the 8m and debuted in the top 200.

    Koreans charts will give you that but overall Rosé did better than her. Hot 100 and spotify us, nayeon didn't anything there.

    And Jhope only beated Lisa with a full album, 8 more songs than her but his longevity is lackluster in comparison to his debut and his tt debuted lower than both Lisa's track in the hot 100, he debuted at 94.

    Instagram BP still the most followed female idols and all are in the top 10 for kpop idols, don't know how this is overrating their solo popularity if the only ones above them are BTS, and we all knwo BTS is the biggest group? like make it make sense, if BP is only behind BTS how they are overrated in solo popularity?

    I know reading skills are not the strongest suite of blinks but this is embarrassing. Where do you see anything about blackpink as a group in op? They are firm number2 for their group popularity but they are not as popular as their fans claim individually.

    Album sales increase with year then why didn't lisa and rose outsell baekhyun if blackpink are the most popular kpop soloists. Nayeon album has more streams than rose and lisa albums after one month so it is true she is doing better than them. Now I know you'll say that is because nayeon released more songs but you also didn't take that into consideration when you compared their longevity. You can say they don't have as much longevity because they released more songs than rose and lisa.

    You are the first and only blink to say this. All other blinks think and say only blackpink members are known individually. Other kpop group soloists from exo, twice and bts are not popular individually. The point is blackpink do as well as others when it comes to solo so how they are the only ones popular. If they are more popular than other soloists then they should do better numbers than other soloists. But that is not happening.

    never said she is outperforming. I'm saying why are black pink members are called successful and most popular soloist when they do just as well as other kpop soloists. Other kpop soloists are called fandom dependent or flop. They are equal but reactions are totally different.

    Whole BP is overrated they can't dance sing and rap

    What activities are you talking about? Because when it comes to music blackpink solos are doing as well as other kpop soloists. It is weird to say others are dependent on group fandoms but blackpink are not when they have unarguably the second biggest kpop fandom. It isn't like they are doing iu numbers compared to everyone in korea or bts numbers internationally to say they are the only ones popular while other kpop soloists are flop. So where are their solo stans helping them?

    I don't intend to compare but to show that only blackpink members are not individually popular like blinks think. If they were they would be doing far better numbers than those who are called flop or unpopular soloists. But they do similar to blackpink solos. Both should be flops or both should be popular.

    Quote from Simmered Pepper & Garlic Rabbit (528)

    For better or for worse, blackpink individual power is stronger than BTS thanks to akgaes and solo stans

    I honestly don't get the comparison. BTS has been strictly promoting as a group for straight 9 years, while BP has always been more lax on solo activities due to being in YG. So ofcourse, bp girlies got more akgaes and solo stans because of those solo activities while bts get theirs just from being in a popular group. But times have change and Bts members are starting their solo activities. Maybe people can compare after a year or 2 years wherein more members have their solo activities.

    The difference is one is called individually popular while the other doesn't when both are doing similar numbers when it came to their solos proving my point blackpink solo popularity is overrated.

    They haven't proved that they can have solo career yet with only their debut. They need to sustain it even after their group disbands before we can say this.

    Nayeon is doing similar to rose but rose is popular and nayeon is not outside korea or her fandom. That is the hypocrisy I'm calling out.
