In the end blackpink is the most hardworking one

    • New

    It's a kpop plot twist.

    Imagine in shitty company like yg, instead of being content with lack of songs yet still getting millions, they were actually recruiting people, learning to build their own company, cooking albums/mvs, making valuable connections, all that in the middle of their biggest tour. They do the work to make huge companies trust and invest in them, individually, after leaving yg.


    Disagree? Then wait until your fave leave their company, create their own team, and still getting huge deals and money on their own. It doesn't matter if they practice or tour more, because all idols can do that. It's actually the standard hard work.


    Anyway,

    The most surprising and notable steps they take to me are : jisoo creating app and cartoon character (also continueing games related cfs like pokemon and hello kitty endorsement), lisa in action movie, jennie in festivals, and rosie went all in in music and creation by being honest about her past rs (if she's not having the most successful song, tbh her activities isn't that different than her in yg).


    There are actually many idols that created their own label,but most of them disappear into nothing. New Company Route is also source of many difficulties that can hinder their job as artists/entertainers in the future, so i hope they prepare for everything, but again, it's a lot of work especially if you're also the product.

    To the group blackpink tho,it kinda frustating, knowing since forever how incompetent yg is.

    I never would've thought switching into jenchulichaeng solo fans instead of blink in one year. I think it's bad for them tho,cause in my case I'm becoming less interested in kpop or the group projects. I like the solo projects,but no way they getting blackpink number, unless its special. Still happy for the members,i think they also happier as solo cause they can give their all. That's all my thoughts for tday.

    Getting huge deals and money is not a function of hard work.

    Working in their albums, being part of every aspect and doing more contents for fans is and the girls chose the path that would be of hardwork bc they don't have a big company to rely anymore, it's all on them too.

    I remember how everybody was laughing at them loving to be "lazy, doing nothing" when now they are so active and doing it without a big company money in the k-pop scene.

    They are doing great and working hard

    Yeah, but let's not act as if they're the first or only ones who did this. Hardworking and "the most hardworking" are not the same thing. Technically they still rely on YG as a group, and their popularity comes from them being BP members. Just like with any other mainstream group.


    Let's not ignore facts like Idols who created their own agencies were under big labels usually or they were part of popular groups. Creating your own business isn't that hard, making it profitable long-term is hard. That's why so many agencies fail after a couple of years. Not just in Kpop or in the music industry.


    BP members are still mainstream, so they can get many jobs, CFs and people who will work for them. But do you think they will be on top after 10-20 years and their agencies will be as big as BIG3 or even just CUBE or RBW? Starting your own label is cool and fun for a year or so, but when the shit hits the fan that's when it gets rough. I'm not talking about BP members alone, btw.


    At one point they're gonna lose their popularity, and they have to sign other artists or debut groups so their agencies can be profitable. There's no point in running your own company if you're the only artist there, even after like 5-10 years.

    YGE having different priorities doesn't mean they're incompetent. They just had a different vision for Blackpink. It got them all these brand deals, partnerships, and other opportunities outside music.


    They made sure the girls performed and looked optimized as a cohesive unit, highlighting their strengths as best as possible. There was an identity they were going for.


    As fans, of course we want more music and more comebacks, and I can't fault anyone for wanting that. I wanted the same.


    But I also can't get behind all the toxic Blinks who freaked out when NewJeans was still active. They kept pushing for a Blackpink comeback just so they could recoup bragging rights. I'm not talking about chill Blinks. I'm talking about the ones who care too much about charts and live vicariously through BP success.


    At the end of the day, BP all re-signed with YGE for group activities, so they knew what they were getting into. They were okay with the vision YGE had for them, at least as far as the Blackpink brand goes.

    You couldn't be more wrong when BP themselves always complained about their lack of music and the fact that all of them are so into their music career as solos proves it.

    It's kinda funny seeing yge stans trying something when all their artists complained about it and the fact that just their female idols didn't get the opportunities to be more artistic free shows the little respect yge has for them.

    They resigned as a group bc I doubt YGE would let them go easily and imagine wasting even more time with legal disputes, they love BP, but they did the right choice, YGE will never prioritize them, at least now they can make as much music as they want.

    They are still benefiting from their existing popularity as a group, which is in turn based off them doing... not a whole hell of a lot compared to many of their peers. The fact that they started their own companies, run by other people, has nothing to do with it either. They haven't even released THAT much solo music. The premise of this thread is D.O.A.

    That's a YOU problem when even Rosé family started liking shady posts about YGE incompetence. And it's kinda weird how you would ignore their complains as fan service and conclude on your own without any proofs that you are right about their circumstances when they showed the opposite.

    Of course, I don't know for sure, but that's just the impression I got after they re-signed with YGE for group activities and Rosé signed with TBL. It just seems to me personally that they're still on great terms with YGE.


    I could be wrong. I should have prefaced.

    I wouldn't say they are on great terms, but I also don't think YGE would've let the group go so easily when they are so profitable, I think they still stayed at YGE bc it's faster to release music rather than to have legal dispute.

    Tbl and YGE aren't the same, Rosé literally released her album with 15 songs so I don't understand what you thought here when in YGE she released 3 songs in 7 years.

    Im the end the girls are doing more in those 2 years than they ever did in YGE and this enough should tell you everything you need to understand.

    All of Blackpink’s music and IP are under YG, and with the group's reputation and popularity, there’s no way they’d just let the brand go. Just look at 2ne1. It took them years just to perform their own songs because they had to pay for it. They couldn’t even drop a new album together outside of Yg since the company owns the trademark of their group name. Can people really not connect the dots?


    When Rose signed with Tbl, it was already an independent label not a subsidiary anymore. While still associated with YG, they’re technically separate.

    I think Jennie and Rosé in particular have transcended Blackpink. I like them more as soloists now, and I say that as a blink from debut.


    Ruby was a landmark album and better than anything Blackpink ever put out by a considerable margin, both in quality of the music and its creative vision. Jennie didn’t just rest on her laurels or coast on her popularity. She really upped her game and proved her it girl status is well deserved, not just handed on a silver spoon.
