I feel like Blinks are living in another world from the rest of fandoms

When everyone is hyped for their favs' red carpet appearance and performances at many award shows, or just music festivals in general; Blinks can only hype up their favs at some fashion week events... i can't imagine being Blinks tbh

why not? those fashion shows are far more relevant than the others' red carpet, award shows or performances

Different markets focus.

BP gets more eyeball and coverage internationally from attending PFW while the award shows only applies within the kpop bubble.

You're right there

“Fashion shows are more important than music shows”. Yes Blinks, we know your priorities. Imagine if Rose, Lisa, Jennie or Jisoo are not that pretty and don’t have huge brand deals but still release the same songs. How many Blinks are left? Probably half the amount of the current fandom or less.

So you mean people watch BP at those FW and decide to become fans? Not because of award shows performances and other music related activities?

Bruh all im seeing the past few days is akgaes fighting and trending those jenlisaisreal jendragonisreal and hyunsaisreal hashtags

Logical. They are models first and singers second.

BP’s image is of being a model and influencer and blinks are fans of that. It’s basically like being fans of how Bella hadid, Gigi Hadid, Kendal etc.

Yeah blinks might not be happy but atleast blackpink is getting their coverage.

lol imagine your group being so lame that you can only get excited for "red carpets" at rigged awards shows

It’s weird, but it’s the only thing they have lol. Honestly their girls appearances made no noise outside of their fandom

Yall acting like Blinks dont hype the shit out of Blackpink’s performances too…most viewed live perf on youtube remember?

fashion week >>>

Not if you are an actual artist and not a model

yes, but these time op is right. i am a blink but i would love them to go to awards shows again. BTS does, why the fuck yg can´t send them...cos they don´t want to pay for an award like the other groups? maybe

blinks busy fighting mys as per usual

It's still better than those rigged award show and again BP are more relevant than any other group who were on that red carpet show

It's not only them, girls also care about fashion more than music.

You guys don’t have that much to choose from. How many official live perf does BP has anyways? Less than 50?

This is the reason why they stay popular. It's their insta influencer popularity and fashion awards shows. It's like Bella or Addison Rae releasing a song.

Their whole success is based on that. Music is the extra, not the main course.

I don't think so. I think it's more that they are seen as extensions of their fandom, a large portion of which are girls from SEA who live vicariously through them.

Fashion show in paris is way bigger than rigged show red carpet. Like you won't hype up your favourite idol going to fashion week.

Blinks also actually listen to BP's music and stream their performances (hylt dance alone outstreams your favs whole discography) instead of just bulk buying for photocards

Pretty much. I’ve followed Bp closely since their debut but dropped them since it hasnt been fun or worth it. They barely make music/comebacks when they’re supposed to be a music group and you get absolutely NOTHING for content. They’re perfect for the casuals but that’s about it.

the reality is they do better music cos they don´t release so often. they music is related to quality and popularity, so brands want that. And that makes them even more visible to people, cos top influencers attracks more attention. wich gives more visibility to their music. And at the end they do less work and get more money....how is that bad

i, as a fan would rather have more content, of course. But i like the quality. Maybe YG could send them to awards shows for the sake of fans, only that i would ask. But downplay them for going to fashion shows, when people then are so proud that Yoona from SNSD went too...you are a bunch of hypocrites

To fans maybe. In all of the western coverage I've seen for PFW not one of them mentioned your girls. Didn't even know they had attended until this thread and I'm in the kpop world. So they're not getting as much media coverage as you think they are outside the kpop bubble.

Well they have to, their faves don't care about them and prefer being ig models or partying with other celebs

Watch them cry when brands drop them for new yg gg.

it's not like we have a wholeass tour or anything to look forward to

Award shows etc are great for newer kpop groups to show themselves but love them or hate them, everyone who's into kpop already knows Blackpink.

PFW etc on the other hand (besides those sweet appearance fees) serves as a bridge to those millions of people following fashion whom aren't into kpop to check them out on Spotify etc.

Anons never getting rid of the bp anti allegations

I don't think it's quality to have to wait 2 years for ratatas and bragging about having fashion deals in your lyrics but since most Blinks live vicariously through BP, then I get why you like it.

Blinks always say they prefer it that way compared to what other ggs do but then we all have to get them complain and even harass other groups for having comebacks. So what's the truth?

As I said, the problem with BP is that 90% of their content it's photoshoots and fashion gigs. So this is why people can't take then seriously.

And the fact that their performances were lackluster even after having years to practice, then you get why people think like that.

This was the last time they got invited to award shows, I think they outshined everyone else so hard that they blacklisted them, to this day this performance is still the most viewed/iconic at award shows

Kinda sad blinks had only a few award performances to watch. Maybe they will be invited to AMA or Grammy this year.

Other groups have so many live performances to choose from. If this is the best one and Blinks stream the heck out of it, then there’s no hope for Blinks.

OMG it would be so funny if you really believe this!! Blinks are a special breed, YG trained you guys well.
