honestly, blackpink members don't seem to care for blinks

they promoted for like a week after 2 years hiatus & called it quits??

sure, the company could be restricting them - although, i don't think they would stop them from doing an extra music show or something - but the members also barely interacted with blinks in any way this cb. it really feels like they came back, did few performances, did some deals, collected their money & flew to paris for PFW to have some fun...

[instiz] BLACKPINK SAID THEMSELVES THAT THIS PROMOTION IS OVER

They spent more time hanging out with celebs in America then they did promoting their music for fans. It's very obvious they're barely idols anymore, they're IG models who happen to release music every few years.

It might be a strategy from YG to starve the fandom of music contents so that they would buy concert tickets. YG and the members rarely do anything for free or give any free contents. They need to uphold their luxurious and expensive image. Which the fandom loves.

You're just realizing that?

Admit it or not, they are a brand, they only release music when they/their company need money

They don't di vlive if its not near comeback and it tells a lot.

I agree and I'm not even talking about fan service or anything of the kind. They barely interact with their fans, if they wanted to they always could reach out but no. You always have to pay to see or hear anything from them, and all they post on ig is sponsored ads or random photos. I'm afraid both the girls and YG have taken this fandom and their loyalty for granted...

Blinks are naive

they just release music (bare minimum) whenever the company need some money from touring and to maintain their popularity so that they can bag expensive brand deals. they're not musicians, just celebrities.

this is exactly what i mean

bp members don't have to be idols, who constantly do fanservice, if they don't want to

but at this point, they are doing even less than western artists

blinks gave them everything this cb & i know they don't owe something back, but their "we only post ads & we'll do an once in a year vlive behind a paywall" is just so so loud

I honestly don't mind. If ppl claim to love them for their music - why would they go all out promoting them?

Not to mention how negative some stans are. While I aclnowledge some of the fans support them unconditionally, some other dumbos unfortunately don't. If I were to be one of the Pink, would I like to go on Live and have people cursing on me and sending death threats? Obviously a big fat NO. The girls have seen how bad Jennie got treated and I believe they agreed to stop feeding the fans stuff to talk shit about - looking at the fact that even Jisoo has cut off her monthly messages

If them doing so is what's best for their life, so be it

This influencer /socialite thing is their brand. They always move like that and not as artists and then people get disappointed when they do what they are supposed to be doing.

Blinks should know by now that fashion and Instagram is the BP brand. That's why they always have the same concepts and style.

they were busy with individual promotions at same time aswell so not like they werent working ...

Blinks think idols showing appreciation for their fans or conversing with them is encouraging para social relationship. So they are fine being not cared about. They know BP only acknowledges them during cb and when they are selling something and they are okay with it. So everyone can dead this conversation now.

Blackpink have never done that "you are our everything" marketing. If you want that there are plenty of groups that will put their personal shame to the side and oblige you.

it’s obvious they’re going to wrap up this half-baked era asap, go on a lackluster tour and ride their contract out til they likely quietly split in 2023

YG is very proud of Blinks for their love and support. Blinks understand that the Pinks time means money and are willing to spend to show their love. Non blinks are just jealous. YG and BP will give you more contents, just give them money. Money is everything to YG family, just listen to Lisa’s song. Thank you blinks for your blind love.

Spoken like a true brainwashed clown. The way you see these girls and live vicariously through them. Keep spending your allowance on them while they wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire.

The desperate need to be a "special" fandom is just laughable. This is literally an abusive relationship, their fans would die for them, and the girls could give 2 fucks, kpop at it's finest.

Especially when they are the fandom to hate on their own members the most.

well they should show appreciation because blinks are the ones who gave them all that money and opportunities.
