I don't want BP to renew.

  • I have been fan of BP since debut, I have followed them since the first pictures of them were released. I have fallen out of touch recently true, I now have a job so it's harder to watch every video and consume every content. But I love the group.


    As much as ideally I want BP to renew and put out music I don't think that is what is best for them. When they first debuted I had this sinking feeling YG would ruin them like he did 2ne1 and I was right.


    This CB in general including the tour have shown me that a lot of the passion BP had is gone. And I empathize completely. I am an artist, gradated 2 years ago, I work now. And I have completely fallen out of touch with my art, not only has my skill fallen but the stuff I am making for work now is completely devoid of any creativity. The more and more time passes the harder it is. I haven't painted in months. I am lost in something I once breathed like air.


    I see some of that in BP. BP is a group, and when you have a company that is constantly blocking comebacks and pushing them in opposite directions it's very hard for them to maintain the same passion and coordination they once had. When BP first debuted they just had IT, I can't explain it really. They just had something that I couldn't look away from. Now a lot of that has faded. Individually they still have it, I still watch everything they individually make, I watched the godforsaken Idol just for Jennie.


    YG as a company has completely fallen, all they have is BP. Big Bangs legacy is in tatters so is Yang Hyun-suk, AKMU does well but they're pretty much only good in SK. I just don't see how BP benefits in anyway from YG. Quite frankly they have outgrown YG. A part of me wants them to renew but I think that part of me is selfish. I want what's best for them and I don't think that's YG.


    It makes me sad to think how much more we could have had if YG had played their cards right. I'm still grateful though, BP was the best of times for me honestly. :rose2: :jennie10:

  • whether BP renews or not doesn't really bother me that much


    to me most kpop GG do not all renew with the same company - that is a matter of fact and precedent and thus the default position is non-renewal and therefore if they do all renew that's great but unexpected...


    for the members individually even if they don't renew - BP will still be there and as I've said before

    Jisoo and Jennie and Rosé and Lisa are four soloists who come together once in a blue moon and do a collab lol

  • I'm all for the autonomy of what the group members actually want. With that said, I know they'll probably want to keep their Blackpink namesake active while being able to focus even more on their own things.


    I don't think the situation is nearly as dramatic as people make it out to be. Any member's decision not to renew isn't necessarily anything personal. It's just business, and the company fully understands this. The members may be satisfied with what the company provided for them the past seven years, but their new trajectory as individual entertainers and entrepreneurs calls for them to sign elsewhere.


    My unpopular opinion is that I speculate the members are happy with the amount of work they've gotten. Comebacks mean more work. If they can make more money than the average group while having fewer comebacks, that's a win for them and the company. There's so much money involved in their partnerships alone. Don't get me wrong. They work hard, often in ways that don't show up on paper. They went on tour for almost a year.


    Anyone who's concerned about disbandment should not be worried. Honestly, I'd be more worried for groups that are less successful. Blackpink has way too much of a legacy to disband.
