There's not one single thing that works for me this era, some of the reasons for that being:
The singles aren't the hard hitters they were during their previous releases
One of the songs on the album is a recycled version of something that leaked years ago
Their promotions from the get go have been a mess (in the sense that we didn't even get real promo that would've kept their ULs high, and half the time there was something wrong with the promo we did get or it just went missing). They couldn't even put in the hashtags properly or remove age restriction from fucking TikToks
We only got 8 songs. By the time the album got released, we only had 5 new songs to look forward to, one of which wasn't even a Blackpink release.
And, on top of all that, YG blew up the prices of damn near everything so much you would have to sell a kidney to afford a ticket to their tour.
Blackpink made a hiatus long enough for the 4th gen to start and get really popular, we have been waiting since debut for Jisoo, Jennie hasn't released anything in 4 years and they have just refused to promote or give us any feedback on Lisa's solo project, but none of it matters because Blinks are saying we should be happy we got anything new 😒
I'm tired.
