Did YG expect Black Pink to do way better than they are doing with Born Pink?

  • ???


    I mean, personally, I love the album and it's doing great. The lyrics of the songs sound like YG wants it to be a Shut Down every time Black Pink shows up because they are Born Pink...


    Did YG expect more?

  • yes they did for sure, but why idk. With leaked song which fandom really hates and without promotions they wanted more with 6 songs? They should be thankful to how it is doing with zero promotions

  • No but knowing them and their articles they expected better some things, tho bp is really breaking their own records

    Ah YG has always "talked" a good game. That's the problem with them though - more often than not when it comes to BP they are all talk and no walk. I don't know what they expect when they put no actual work in. And no YG, mediaplay doesn't count.

    Agree, thats their biggest problem. They are doing zero work to promote album or title, we barely have live performances and they thought it would do better :pepefacepalm: Plus gave us only 8 songs, with one leaked years ago. Also mediaplay isn't helping any how

    Most of the time it's the fans that bear the brunt of the fallout from mediaplay anyway. And in YGs case, its the same fans they starve. A mess for sure :drinktears:

  • Can anyone explain to me why BP might not have met expectations during this comeback? I'm still so confused. I understand antis, trolls, and insecure rival fans shading the results, but why would any objective person view what BP has done so far as an underachievement? They bagged #1 on every relevant chart it seems except for Melon and the Hot 100.

    You said it yourself: antis, trolls, and insecure rival fans


    Blinks we're also messy at times so aside from already hating Blinks and BlackPink themselves, these weirdos will find things to use against them. It's a never-ending revenge plot point

  • Most of the time it's the fans that bear the brunt of the fallout from mediaplay anyway. And in YGs case, its the same fans they starve. A mess for sure :drinktears:

    Sad truth, I don't understand tho, if they did more promos, songs also would do better. Their logic seems to be off

    “The successor to BTS is not a boy group, but Blackpink

    US Billboard, UK Official, Spotify... 'Simultaneous 3 crowns' that even BTS could not do After BTS announced a temporary suspension

    in June, they quickly emerged as the leading K-pop characters to fill the gap. These days, the keywords ' multiracial /multicultural/female' outstanding skills, appearance, and English. ”





    'A further step in K-pop.' This is the reaction gathered from the music industry for Blackpink's triple crown achievement. In particular, Black Pink's achievements are drawing attention as the first example that the 'Girl' group can lead the Korean Wave in the world music industry as much as 'Boy'. Critic Younha Kim said, “After BTS announced the temporary suspension of group activities in June, the ‘Male Group’, which has led the Billboard 200 record, was mainly mentioned as a candidate for ‘Post BTS’ , which attracted attention. The expectation that they can fill that void well in their own way has grown.”

    A role model for a 'dignified woman'... No. 1 girl group in the US for the first time in 14 years

    Blackpink this time is also evaluated as an exceptional achievement abroad. The first place they achieved on 'Billboard 200 ', the Billboard main album chart, was the first in 14 years after 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' by American girl group Danity Kane in April 2008 . Blackpink of Korea has completely occupied the popular girl group market in the North American market, which has been communist for a long time. Earlier in 2018 , when BTS first topped the Billboard 200 , there was a reaction that they inherited the crown of America's top boy group, which became vacant after 'One Direction', to which popular pop star Harry Styles belonged. This time it was the Queen's coronation



    It is said that YG , the agency of Black Pink, also made such a strategic goal. Critic Doheon Kim said, “Recently , there is a trend of envying the fashion and music styles of popular girl groups in the 2000s , such as the Pussycat Dolls, mainly in their teens and 20s in the United States . They are strategically putting the hip-hop-based pop songs and fashions that stood out in the songs of girl groups of that era.”

    However, critics said, " There are many differences between the success of Black Pink and BTS ." If BTS 's Billboard chart performances in 2018 were regarded as 'a blast', Blackpink's success was considered 'anticipated success'. Unlike BTS , which received attention as an album with 'Korean lyrics' from the beginning, BLACKPINK's album with 'English lyrics' mixed with somewhat harsh profanity occupied more than 80 % of the billboard 200 top spot is also considered a big difference.

    Critic Im Jin-mo said, “In this new album, I wrote some geomungo melodies, but most of Blackpink’s songs are more North American pop than Korean. Nevertheless, they were acclaimed as a group with a 'unique personality' rather than a 'child'.” “In the global music market,If the beginning of the BTS craze led K-pop to stand in the 'challenger' position for the first time, BLACKPINK quickly built popularity on par with overseas stars with excellent looks, skills, and fluent English, and took K-pop one step further. lifted,” he said.

    Black Pink, a girl group that has recently emerged as a 'post BTS' with outstanding results on major world music charts . In a clockwise direction from the front, the members Lisa, Jenny, Jisoo, and Rosé. /YG

    In fact, all Blackpink members are currently active as ambassadors for global luxury brands such as Chanel (Jenny), Saint Laurent (Rosé), Dior (Jisoo), and Celine (Lisa) . 10,000), and is firmly holding the position of 'Worldwide YouTube Channel Subscribers (currently 81.8 million)'. Music critic Kim Writer said, "Blackpink is already a global 'celebrity' group in many ways to be classified only by K-pop standards."

    It is analyzed that this solid recognition has been a great advantage for continuous record breaking. BLACKPINK , who first made their debut in 2016 , ranked 40th on the Billboard 200 with their mini album 'Square Up' in 2018 , breaking the previous record for a K-pop girl group ( 61st , 2NE1). 'Love' rose to 24th place, and in October 2020 , the 1st full-length album 'The Album' rose to 2nd place at once. In particular, this new album took the first place even after a two-year hiatus. An official from a domestic record agency said, “Even after going through a hiatus, a continuous career high, that is, the Billboard 200 It is by no means an easy challenge for a fast-growing K-pop group to achieve first place immediately after returning.”

    The fact that the trend of world music charts is set as the keyword 'multiracial/multicultural/female' is also considered one of the factors of Blackpink's propaganda. Critic Jeong Min-jae said, “On the Billboard alone, female solo singers with confident images such as Rizzo and Dojacat and Latin singers such as Bad Bunny have long dominated the Billboard charts. BLACKPINK fits this image well, and K-Pop itself seems to be leaving the place of unfamiliar music abroad.”

  • Sad truth, I don't understand tho, if they did more promos, songs also would do better. Their logic seems to be off

    YG once published an article from some analyst that stated BP have fandom comparable to Ariana Grande & Taylor Swift


    So I guess they expected that kind of support despite whatever + ari & Tay actually release tons of music + promote especially Taylor,they also reward fan loyality while with BP it's crickets till they win something (btw I'm sure it's ygs fault since the pinks are very sincere)

    blinks gets paid dust. No consideration for us fans unless it’s getting our money. For example, We wanted more songs they gave us 7 with a 2 year old leaked song.
