U think big names reach out to Blackpink or the other way around?

Big name does reach to BP since it is a great PR stunt.

it's a win-win situation for both artists, so I guess both. Cause why not

I don't know about specific cases, but in general,

Neither.

Most probably it is agents, managers, producers, A&R talking to each other.

The songs get shopped around etc.

It is very rare these days for collaborations to happen from personal connections.

Though artists put that face upon release for promotions, because the listeners are suckers for the human connection.

Pitch and leverage.

Most of the time it's the label, the A&R, etc who would reach out to these big names. They are the one sending out emails and who does the talking.

The pinks actually know quite a bit of celebrities from all the fashion shows, endrosement they have done over the years.

Dont be surprised if one day rosie release something with Taylor swift. She is out there collecting western celebrities

A bit of both, but the Korean Labels will get the worst part of the deal when collaborating with "big names" in the "West" because they hold the real power of recognition globally while Kpop Stars are "world famous" in their "genre" which Western Countries love to exploit financially.

Western labels of kpop artists reach out to western artists for Collab.

They can become friendly/friends and collab again. Suga colabed with Halsey, rm with Megan thee stallion, jin with coldplay, rm with Anderson Paak. But it's definitely their labels who decided on collaborations (I'm excluding Megan the stallion who had to take her label to court so she could colab with them).

I think it's both of them.

Their label contact the western artist and some western artists show they want to collab with the pinks (eg DJ SNAKE).

no kpop idols companies do the reaching no matter how big the groups are

Even if friends, still the norm would be the people behind-the-scenes deciding.

Because the biggest challenge for popular acts is "managing the schedule".

Most will have plans at least an year into the future and to work in a personal preference of 2 artists will take some level of dancing.

It happens, but not as much as fans would think.

Again I am not speaking to individual cases

Maybe 10% or less, would be personal connect

a little bit of both if they know each other or the labels and managers and producers do all of the connecting and reaching out behind the scenes
