YG is by FAR the dumbest company out there 💀

Here's something I haven't seen alot of blinks point out lol

YG priced the album box set at the standard $18-$22 domestically knowing that international fans can still purchase it at that very price...

They then priced the box set at $48-$58 internationally....

With shipping included if u buy from a Korean shop,it'll still not reach $40 for a singular album

I saw some buy the complete box set at only $80 shipping included when in the US for example u have to spend $150 to get the complete set

They also had an incredibly eye opening idea of announcing the tour tickets the same weeks as the album pre-orders (still more expensive than your average K-pop concert internationally) 💀

This is just the issues pertaining the album & tour prices...let's not even get to the fact that they gave us a 7 songs album with 1 track being a solo 💀

Or how they learned nothing from LSG/TA performance 💀

Or how they robbed us of any quality promo run for either PV or SD 💀

🤦🤦🤦🤦

Quote from BLACKPINKBRO

better yet stop stanning bp

I wish it was possible lol

Quote from icyruios

If the album is too expensive then save your money because BP can survive without you not buying an album

If concert ticket is too expensive then save your money and also this means 1 less competitor for me to fight with for tickets thank you for dropping out let's go

Well clearly people chose lol

Quote from killthisfenty

TA wasn’t a little bit messy but the promotion was great we got contents on YouTube, music shows in Korea and internationally, 3MV, and variety shows.

It’s what they deserve.

TA was actually great

All 3 singles got promo & room to breathe + TA promo was great despite being during covid

Born Pink is an absolute diaster on all fronts

Quote from harambelives

Why not buy the cheaper digi packs?

The digipaks were priced at $10-$13 domestically but $20-$25 internationally 💀

+ They only announced them after 2 weeks of initial pre-orders,many thought it wasn't happening so they already bought the box set either from a Korean shop or their country's expensive versions

Quote from Kataphract

theory: YG was trying to inflate domestic sales figures by hoping that there would be people that buy the korean version flip it to international.

that way some percentage of international sales are mismarked as domestic sales.

Clearly it backfired cause YG wanted #1 debuts on BB 200 & UK charts by a large margin at that lol (currently only 1 is secured)

They were just trying to scam international fans & make sure they make alot of money from global sales(cause Interscope also gets a cut)

Quote from TikiTiki

The "cheaper" digipacks in my country are 40 euros 💀

No fucking way

I thought based on exchange rates,it'll be only $25-$30 💀

Quote from harambelives

Oof. That's a rip off

Reminds of the prices I used to pay many years ago for SNSD albums but they were at least full albums lol.

It didn't help that it wasn't a full album like u mentioned lmaoo

It's amazing really,they managed to fuck up every single aspect of the born pink era

Quote from atropos

TA rollout happened only because of pandemic. Bp couldn't tour so they invested in album promo.

Born pink only dropped for tours. They have no reason to promote it. But they want all the achievements nevertheless. No matter how much they screw it up themselves.

Like why did they go to USA only to do one performance this week? Jisoo already left from LA.

No interview,no magazine,nothing for this era!

I fear u right...

Yep it's clear they needed new music to justify the tour

They even pushed back the album from April-may to Aug-sept to have it align with the tour to not invest in any worthwhile promo...

Despite all of that they still tried scamming International fans through the album & tour prices...sigh what kind of company is this?

When they look at BP...they only see $$$ potential

Quote from mparserz

I hope some Blinks still have money leftover for trucks.

There needs to be a truck parked outside of YG during the whole duration of the tour.

Ehhh I'd like to think what's currently happening will send the right message but let's see what happens

The contract renewals are the big ??? Right now

How long have they renewed?

What are their terms?

Can we expect 3 albums era from 2023-2028 ?

What of the solo promotions?

We won't find out to atleast end of December if not later

Quote from mparserz

I do agree that them announcing that they're re-signing would be a big boost to the fandom. It's weird that we're talking like this era has been a flop, far from it. But everything about YG's part has just been soul sucking.

But like I said before, I think they're re-signing. Whether that's good or bad, remains to be seen. But I just can't see them behaving this way if it was their last era.

I think there's been very lil growth especially after PV smashed, when u look at Spotify numbers so far & the current billboard forecast...it's not that good BP levels considered lol

YG has decided to also fuck it up across all levels 💀

They're definitely renewing their contracts,it's just IF things will improve or not ...

Quote from TikiTiki

Nope lol and the box set is 70 euros 💀

YG will not be seeing heaven 🚶

Quote from huRRicane8

it should not debut even in top5. That's what the company deserves just literally for scamming us. Why different prices? Are we richer or smth? Plus concert prices too. I'm glad blinks aren't dumb. Now they are discounting album for us to buy because they know they fcked up

It's still the same price in stores tho $50

Quote from huRRicane8

No its not, ive seen tweets but i cant find the

now. Plus digital version is 3.99 $

People can match price to get 50% off yes but it's still $49.99 lol

Yeah an act of desperation but the damage has already been done since the very day they announced a $50 USD album & apparently 60-70 is EU
