What was organic about BLACKPINK's initial success and rise in popularity in the states? ***PLEASE VOTE***

Yama, I'm sure you must be mad that NJ path isn't looking good right now and their numbers aren't reaching BP numbers anymore, but calm down, it's just one cb in the middle of a huge fight. Have faith, don't lose your sleep over it!

Nobody denies BP privilege the same privilege every 3rd and 4th gen has if they are from the big4 if we still count YGE as a big4... Good luck trying to find peace in this cb.

MHJ aka The Korean Karen: Watching brainless kids going crazy calling themselves fans

idk if it's only from my lap top pics don't get shown but it is an old post maybe that's why

anyway op here's a proof from koreans that yg been media playing like dirty people they are

they been lying and convincing their idols are more talented just bc they're ugly compared to sm even i used to believe that. so bp success is not 100% organic

MHJ aka The Korean Karen: Watching brainless kids going crazy calling themselves fans

Did she lie?

anticipation doesnt ttranslate to streams tho

bp rise in the usa was gradual, it started with aiiyl charting in bubbling

being of yg help more in korean and sea than anywhere (as u can see from baemon debut) bc yg acts dont really do well there

nj is missing an important piece in order for them to compete with bp. they need a slogan or a catchphrase before they start their song!

bp: bp is the revolution

Their social media engagement reflected in their streams everywhere. They were able to do similarly across all streaming platforms. and they continue to have that impact all over.

Push and promo are viewed less critically than buying streams on any platform. The thing about today’s groups that feel fake is their numbers feel fake. People don’t believe that the streams new jeans gets for example is real.

Yeah, internationally BP grew with each cb with their first hot100 entry being in 2018 and even now the fandom is still pretty much present in their activities with some "gp" interest too. Their numbers match their success and popularity.

Well kpop grew since then so the timeline isn’t really that important. It’s more that people inherently don’t believe streams are as real as they were because of various things like ads and playlisting.

Blame MHJ, Even Teddy knows how to survive.

Yeah, it does make sense the doubt, specially after some events, but in BP case that Yama pointed out I do think their growth wasn't thanks to such tactics that appeared just in the 4th gen. They had the Big3 privilege like any other Big3 act and they kept their fame with great growth like we can see today.

Quote from YamaChwan

I should've made this a poll and will do so now

amateur! you know polls are a mandatory! make it public loll

"They have big3 privilege and used it heavily" tell which kpop group from the now big4 didn't use the privilege "heavily"??

Organic or not, the most important thing is that they managed to mantain their momentum. Consistency is the key. Staying power is what most groups find difficult.

in the states you ask? Blackpink was the only girl group that was the least cringe for their generation. The rest were twice and red velvet. Anyway, their rise in states can be seen thanks to yg successors and kpop rise with social media along with bts. sure, they are not the first group that comes to mind but they should be easily second.

BP had big3 priviledge, which is minimal compared to Scooter Braun-payola priviledge. They also had a real fanbase instead of bandwagon fans.

Quote from YamaChwan

Kill This Love underperformed compared to their previous releases. It didn't even hit #1 in Korea. Even to BLACKPINK, these things happen

Pretty sure this thread is abt States aka USA. And BP managed to land EVERY single title track post DduDuDduDu into Billboard Hot 100. Even if we talk abt Korean charting, the drop from #1 to let say Top 5, isn't that big of a drop.

forgetting your own question?

Quote from YamaChwan

Yet you have the most obsessed Blinks here going in threads and making payola accusations while calling other groups inorganic. How painfully tone deaf can you be as a fandom?

BP had EVERYTHING handed to them on a silver platter, and YG was built from the ground up by Big Bang and then later 2NE1 to a lesser extent. The road to success was already paved and coated in gold before BLACKPINK was ever in our area.

Well, toxic fans in big fandom the same way you are the toxic bunny.

And a bigger senior than BTS doesn't exist in kpop so everything you said about BP you can apply to a bigger dimension to all hybe new groups including NJ

Quote from YamaChwan

They had the biggest company privilege of the entire third generation by a huge margin

Actually all 3rd gen groups had a big company privilege like

Sm: TVXQ, SNSD, SHINee and FX

Jype: 2pm were big in some years in SK, Wonder Girls and Miss A

YGE: BIGBANG and 2ne1

All were big, huge, the face of kpop. Good luck in trying to understand it.

The real question should be why is so important for people to stan what is the most organic

Quote from YamaChwan

Where was the company privilege for LSF at debut if that can be used to explain, and really discredit, NewJeans? We already know BSH was playing favorites and wanted his girl group to be the best, and literally hated and ignored NewJeans, so make that make sense for me.

Also, I'm not toxic. I'm just honest.

Oh, they not disbanding due to the bullying scandal in their first week of debut is a privilege nugu groups can't afford, doing a doc to show they starting again as 5 and in the next cb doing good was all thanks to the company still investing in them.

NJ are a hybe group, obviously they have some privileges.

Everybody from the big4 has privilege just from having a company with money and willing to promote them, get them endorsement thanks to connections etc, after your debut year you'll either grow a fb big enough like BP or be surpassed by others groups like Treasure, IKon and even Winner.

In the end BP are here doing their thing with an incredible career.

Quote from YamaChwan

That still pales in comparison to BLACKPINK, the first new girl group in an entire generation, with 2NE1 being the only other girl group formed and debuted under YG after the company joined the Big 3 and booted out DSP.

YG media played his next girl group for LITERALLY FOUR YEARS.

No third gen group had anywhere near that hype or privilege.

Oh, sorry the others didn't hype up their own groups then

Blackpink obviously had big company privilege and I don't think they ever tried to hide it. In fact I think this was one of the things YG tried to use in their favor every time they could. That's not the only reason they became the biggest girl group though, they had the initial boost but having members who are strong stan attractors, catchy music and strong visual identity helped them solidify their predebut popularity. It's even more clear now considering how Babymonster also was very popular predebut and didn't match the hype.

They had big3 privilege but their popularity was also organic. They were always massive in sea countries and although ppl tried to downplay it as zombie streaming, it's a fact that BP still is a massive wall when it comes to youtube relevancy in kpop, even after ads and kpop overall became more popular.

If you're trying to compare with Newjeans... I can't blame MHJ for using their resources the best way she could. But it's just dangerous to rely only on one thing or two. Blackpink, for example, even after being the biggest kpop group on youtube, only got their crown as #1 gg after The Album sold 1 million.

I'm curious is this really her account or just an account created by a hater?

Has the authenticity of the link been proven?
