Real talk, what did BPink do better to get their success?

They survived the YG search for the New 2NE1.

Lots of other girls could not make it, many were dropped and could not wait all those years that took YG to finalize a line up.

Quote from ladidaladidadida

Because they're the coolest.

Like the cool girls from Jawbreaker.

You know how I know you're a film buff, you referenced Jawbreaker instead of Mean Girls.

A toast to you.

Personally when I was getting into BTS, I wanted a GG to stan too and it naturally went to BP because as newbie you will check out the popular ones only.. they really did tick all the boxes. At the time not many did girl crush so BP was the best choice (2ne1 and 4minute already disbanded by that time). So it’s luck too I guess, the right concept at the right time plus the girls and YG’s “luxurious swag” image and great bops.

In addition, BP had a built in fandom because they were promoted predebut using Bigbang (which was the biggest BG at that time). They were also the opposite of Twice, the most popular GG in Korea at that time.. so they are an alternative GG for those who don’t like cutesy songs.

the drug scandal and Minzy leaving was the main reason for 2ne1's disbandment it's more like YG wanting a group with YG essence even with baemon.

A contract will Belcebu.

before you bring up Yg said blackpink is the prettier version of 2ne1 that was more a clickbait title than a statement originally YGE wanted a snsd version with YG's style/

I was talking about the whole process, from the future 2NE1 project to the final line up, YG was very picky on what he wanted and the 4 members of BP were the final survivors of the process, it was not easy and many others failed.

Correct, the process was long and there were many changes, not all trainees could hack it and at the end the best 4 in YG system ended up in what became BP.

It was not easy or gifted to the girls, any of them could have failed and have been left out of the line up.

they got good instagram game

they were supposed to debut after blackpink. pink punk was supposed to debut in 2013. all delayed because the company was handling too many artists.

Yes, YG could not decide on when and what to debut, future 2NE1 was first and had a bunch of trainees, that project kept being delayed and members got sicked of waiting and left the company, so the project kept changing (this is normal) then YG came up with the idea of Pink Punk that was supposed to be 9 members, but more delays and more changes ended up with a final 4 member line up.

But even looking at the 9 members that were supposed to debut with Pink Punk, you can see that YG made the right decision.

Euna Kim was the best raper of the group, but she was average singer and average dancer, she also did not have the visual that makes BlackPink famous, I can not see her in the final line up.

Jang Hanna was also average (compared to the other members) did not have that 1 thing that would make her pop in the group, she did not have that BP visual.

Kim Eunbi I do not know much about her, she did not have the BP visual, but I do not know if she was a good dancer or singer.

The 3 people above did not have the Visual that you see in the BlackPink members, so I can see why they would be left out (dropped) from the final line up.

Then there are

Jinny, she has the visual to make it in BlackPink, she was probably top 3 in rap, but then you would have Jennie, Jinny and Lisa, that may be too many people with rap skills in a 6 team line up.

Miyeon, she would have been a good Pink member, she would have been the main visual of the group and the best singer in the group, but things happen and she left, probably because she felt she was not going to make the final line up, who knows.

At the end, the 4 strongest survived to form the group.

I think we are all getting confused.

There was future 2NE1 (not official name) that was the program before BlackPink, this never debuted and members came changing as it was more of a trainee and evaluation program.

Pink Punk was the idea of a SNSD type group qith YG flavor, the current members of BP were part of this project, at the end the number was reduced to 4.

Baby monsters is the project after BP, I am not talking about that project.

Whatever Happened to the Allegedly Original Members of BLACKPINK (PINK PUNK)?

BLACKPINK is undoubtedly one of the most prominent K-pop groups, and its four members are a big reason for this. Originally, though, the group was meant to be…

Correct, I just mentioned the Punk Pink girls, future 2NE1 had other trainees.

That is just how difficult it is to debut under YG.

Only the strongest survive, and those were the current BP members.

the future 2ne1 was just a name to give to that team ( for the video ) not their real name unrelated to bp, now pink punk was the group that were supposed to have like survival show but it got cancelled and their debut got pushed back so many times. two different things.

can we stop derailing this thread? you always do with blackpink

Their charisma to draw attention into them plus they have their talent to maintain it
