They don't make rookies like this no more

DAMNNNN YESSS. Its my first time watching it

Their debut stage was really charismatic & cool  

I wasn't into Kpop then but I've looked at enough other groups around that time, and the response of various reactors towards their debut, to get a feeling of how different BP was from what was going on then. They still are, they have that "IT" factor as an entire group.

they got to debut after so many delays so when they finally made it to the stage they brought their A game.

Honestly, blackpink had one of the best debuts of the 3rd generation imo. Not only was their debut song hella successful, but the fact that they could have literally passed for a senior group really shows that they were born to be stars. I swear, if I wouldn’t have know they were rookies at the time, I would have though they’d been in the game for years lmao-

Plus, nobody seems to appreciate how truly difficult this song is to pull off. People crap on BBY for a variety of reasons, but no one can deny that this is a song that NOBODY in all of Kpop can pull off besides BP. (Maybe Stray Kidz? But i dont know if their English speakers are their rappers).

You have to be at the top of your game in visuals, onstage charisma, vocals, rapping, and English fluency to perform this song.

Blackpink has that amazing charisma that gets us all hooked and keeps us coming back for more

yeah felix and chan are rappers sometimes, but jisung and hyunjin (main + lead) are fluent-ish and can rap in english. their main main rapper changbin isn't that good at english, but spits literal fire

Why do people hate on BBY tho? It's literally one of their best songs

I completely agree, it's tied with Ugly as my favorite Kpop song of all time. BBY is literally a PERFECT girl crush song, it's the epitome of girl crush songs in my book. What other group has the balls to do that super extra choreo with Rose crawling on the ground, Jennie jumping on the members' arms, the windmill arms, headbanging hair whipping, etc. Plus rap in perfect English and Korean with just the right amount of braggadacio. Then add in the killer instrumentals and song structure, back when BP used to make songs that lasted for four minutes .
