BLACKPINK will clear internationally, and that is what matters, BP have nothing to prove in SK, Aespa in the other hand is a one hit wonder, so they needed to do well. BP have countless of hits in SK and still have the biggest album ever there with TA. If Ive and NJ do better that is okay, but they won't do better in spotify, youtube, hot 100, global 200, sales, popularity, certifications, etc.
AT THE END BP IS THE MOTHER GG
We can already see the excuses here. This is exactly what army said when their comeback flop
