BlackPink are being sabotaged...

Now, this is quite a sensitive subject, but a subject that is essential to discuss as kpop consummers and fans of kpop groups. It's the subject of chart manipulation. For either gain or sabotage.

There are many ways to sabotage rivals and I believe there are people/companies that are competitive, shameless and vindicative enough to sabotage their competition. Specially if they have the ressources to do so, the motives, and a whole pattern analysis of their psychology and behaviour suggesting the high possibility of such outregeous misconduct and violation of fair business practices.

Following that, I think BlackPink are being victimes of sabotage, and specially their title track Go.

Hear me out, this is Tatty talking. The one who has been proven rigth over and over again regarding the plots and schemes of this ruthless kpop industry .

AND I have observed, using basic patterns recognition skills, that the way the Melon chart is currently behaving is NOT normal.

At around 8 AM and 12 AM the chart FROZE for 5 minutes.

So not just once, but twice.

It ususally updates the minute the new hour starts.

And this always happend at the times when BP could have had the biggest gains...

They should be in the top 2/3 by now easily. It's also literally an empty house, with quite low uls...

And the biggest gg right now, the girl group who just broke the all time records of ggs first day album sales, with an mv that had +20 millions views in a day, with a top 3 biggest gg hit of last year and most popular song of 2025, is stuck / frozen in the lower 10s ...

I personaly believe someone is sabotaging BP.

--------------

By the way, this Melon bug reminds me of Argmageddon charting in 2024. It's not an 'exception'. Everytime the charts were gonna update at night in the hours where the gp listens most to songs, and specially new songs, Melon bugged. With Argmageddon, it was even more severe, the chart will stay at 10 am for a whole hour and then be updated 2 hours later. With glitches on the song. (And it happend despite aespa being under Kakao at that time... like?)

But anyway, both songs Go and Armageddon were also major career highlights and epic bangers, and both were following big hits such as Supernova and Jump, both release by the most trendy girls groups.

Let that sink in.

.....

Now we may wander WHO would do that? What would be their motives? How could they do it?

I'm not sure about the how, but well guess what? BOTH groups also have a COMMON ENNEMY and RIVAL. An ennemy who happens to be very powerful, rich, and also publicly fraudulent. An ennemy who has been exposed how wanting to step on one group and using connections to sabotage the opportunities of the other rival girl group.

AHEM.

Yes the Pig with billion worth financial fraud, having been exposed of major sajaegi for over a decade, trying to monopolize the market and trying to dictate which kpop act can make it or not, having an 18k report slandering the whole industry, hating anyone but his groups being successful so much as destroying a generational group under a sublabel, denying the impact of both Squid Game and KDPH,

AND conveniently having his flagship bg making a comback in a month in the same year as their biggest rivals... The only asset/weapon that is saving their *ss from total failure and bankrupcy.

Yes I'm poiting at him .

But ultimatly, even regarldess of the WHO, the fact that Go is being sabotaged is undeniable to me. Or at least there is a HIGH chance of it being true.

.....

In conclusion, yeah, BP is being sabotaged, and I don't even think YG is protecting them either, if not the opposite. In a way or another, I think YG is actually part of it, just looking at the way he is (not) promoting Deadline or Jump and the timing of the album's release. Yeah the girls aren't staying in YG for long and I bet they are gonna be far more successful outside ...

I can't believe Bango forced Blackpink to work with Dr. Luke. Diabolical!

his songs were mid too . i refuse to believe the girls decided to work with him, i think it was a yg descision.

the girls were far more immersed in the making of Go and I am primarly discussing Go in this thread.

Quote from jeyikal307

Who benefits from Blackpink being sabotaged today, in the day of our lord, the 28th of February 2026.

Which company has three songs in the top ten of Melon rn.

Including two in the top two.

One of which keeps PAKing.

And who is the owner of that company.

And who is the owner of Melon.

that is another subject. eventho starsh*t might benefit of bp sabotage, i may be wrong but i don't think they have the ressources to sabotage BP.

i mean they can't even make ive chart on spotify .

and that might be another subject, but i don't believe starsht is being organic with their ggs charting. I actually think they might be the most fraudulent company after Hybe.

AND THEY HAVE KAKAO SUPPORT  

btw J, you always laugh at me first and then the next day, something gets leacked and i get proven right all over again .

and then you just joke about it again .

bad J

lesson is, trust and listen to Tatty!

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

that meme doesn't even have a negative connotation anymore

since it's connected to Tatty and Tatty is always right

end him

( i don't wanna read all that but i m sure whatever happened is hybes fault )

there is also some aespa churros in there you should check it out

Quote from David33

It's 100% my fault for thinking Whyknock's daughter would create a proper thread about something meaningful.🤣

I was thinking we might get a thread about the "doctor" guy, I didn't want to do it because I don't wanna fight with BLINKS, but when you said Blackpink were sabotaged I should've known you were talking about Charts.

Oh yes im pretty sure YG is sabotaging the girls too. Like obviously.

And Dr Luke is part of that sabotage, alongside dreadful if not nonexistant promo.

Quote from monalisalove

Blinks are tired, the lack of sincerity from YGE towards blinks giving BP just a mini with 5 songs, no promotion, the rollout a mess, everything like what do you expect?

They won't get better numbers when nobody is giving 0 fucks about promoting this EP.

The Album is the quality that BP deserves, the promos were cool too. Now they don't release even a dance performance....

Nobody is being sabotaged, more like blinks aren't making the same effort after years of wanting and getting now not even the minimum.

See? I doubt this...

Go apple ranking is even better than Jump, their Youtube views are still INSANE and they broke they all time 1rst day sales record...

I don't think blinks are being abscent at all.

I mean the hype is definitly different from previous times, like bizaar even due to very wierd and underwelming promotion, and some stats are probably a bit down due to zero promo and low playlisting.

But i do think some serious shady things are happening around this comback. Specially with Go and specially on Melon...

Quote from ThePhantomThief

Please don't misuse the tagging system to tag blinks in conspiracy bullshit

if more than one blink says so i might consider

Quote from David33

Jokes aside, I don't think Blackpink is a group that you should promote that much. They literally sold almost 1.5M albums on Day 1 and debuted with like 5M streams? So yeah, promoting is just wasting money, basically.

You don't see many senior groups or soloists performing on Music Shows, especially from BIG3+1. So that's nothing new, it's the fan content that's lacking the most.

Not just from BP btw.

oh they are doing well. but they could do much better. specially on melon.

and i'm NOT joking .

Quote from StanGIDLE

I checked the charts and unsure if I’m

Looking at it wrong but how is Go at #13?

I feel there’s no way there’s 10 other songs being streamed more

it's the daily chart. and it's wierdly similar to their 1st day daily ranking.

like the song barely rose if not a all...

like...

and i actually tighly observed the hourly chart specially in the morning and the evening cause that's when the gp listeng picks up.

and both at 8 am and 10 am, the chart froze for 5 minutes, and go was stuck on the lower 10s rank. like it DIDN'T EVEN MOVE.

it barely moved througout the day at place 9. and then FROZE. even at peak hours...

like GO is the highest gg song debut on melon this year, and by far! this is just bizarre .

Quote from monalisalove

No, BP won't suddenly flop, but they won't top charts if they also don't do more for blinks.

No promo, rollout was a mess, nothing, and the b sides are weak compared to like The Album and Born Pink quality wise.

In the end the results are great imo, still way ahead of the others ggs and k-pop in general minus BTS so like, the results are ok compared to the lack of things.

i agree with you, BP definitly didn't flop, but i don't think they either actually 'underperformed' let's say, it's MOSTLY the melon chart i find wierd.

i mean BP had the highest 1 day gg debut on melon and by far at the 13th rank.

i know it's still a bit soon but i just find it very bizaar they've been stuck on that position still... like it doesn't make sense.

and well i observed the melon bugs in the evening so i wrote this thread .

i believe they should be smashing right now!

Quote from jeyikal307

Isn't it their lowest YouTube debut? At least this decade.

I think in 24hrs, Pink Venom got 90M, Jump got, I think nearly 30M?, and this one got 21M.

well of course there was more hype for Jump, like Jump WAS actually their comback after a 3 years abscence. and deadline promo was really bad.

also i think youtube changed too between 2022 and 2025. but yes BP was their peak of hype and promo i guess.

but regardless in comparaisons to Jump, go youtube 1 day views did well in think in regard to the context.

and more importantly, the apple charting was better.
