I think Blackpink’s success is the most impressive achievement in kpop

Twice sounds good to me. I'm so proud of BLACKPINK and all their success. Those sweet girls deserve it so much. I hope one day, other girl groups will be as widely known and loved as them (I'm actually not sure if Twice is more popular than them or not in certain parts of the world, but if they are, I can see why and more power to them for that, they're great too). Have a great day/night!

From the very beginning they just moved different. Their diversity and international appeal just stood out. Two foreign members, another growing up in NZ. Their English fluency, their truly organic and meteoric rise, particularly in the West. Their distinct voices in their music, the fact that there's only four of them which makes it much easier to showcase their individual appeal (although it also means added pressure in their live performances). For better or for worse, Blackpink is the most unique group in Kpop.

you are a bp fan so no surprise this is coming from you

I've never stanned a female group in my life before BLACKPINK. I put my eyes on them and, even through they were just rookies, I saw something different. They are special.

You just spit straight facts with that last sentence, didn't you? Actually, with the entire thing. All I can say is amen. Have a great day/night!

Quote from ISaidISaid

Maybe if EXO didn’t stay dead all the time we wouldn’t be here

Wait, you're still on probation period, right?

Kireta please add this to her evaluation.

Quote from ISaidISaid

Twice have their charm and strengths too there enough place for everyone. BP is just so resoundingly impressive. Like I think about them and their success just..makes sense. Oh Lisa song was a hit? That’s expected. Oh Jennie had a hit? Makes sense. Like I just expect them to be successful and they ARE. Lol. That always impresses me.

It does to me too. I don't know how to explain it, but their success is almost expected by this point and it makes so much sense for some unexplainable reason to me.

I honestly think they haven't peaked yet either 👀

Looking forward to seeing how great they become

They really are special. We only stan talented kings and queens, so of course they're special.

Kireta Jennie stan she knows women deserve love

I'm a BP fan too. Who do you think introduced me to K-pop and EXO?

I found out you are a Blink like 1 or 2 days ago when I went to follow you and saw your cover. Taste

Quote from ISaidISaid

BP have no peak

Both as a group and individually

You're clearly an intellectual

There must be a reason they regularly cause mass hysteria with such few songs.

they are truly the girlgroup to rule them all. the godesses of excess and champions of sensory overload.

every new track feels liky you get trampled by a horde disco ball skinned rhinozeros-pegasi.

Yeah I agree with everything you said. YG's ability to hold them back is a close second as well, I will never call what they do an strategy, it's just incompetence

Quote from ISaidISaid

I knew you liked hem but didn’t know you knew them before exo

I like them. I like GGs in general.

Yeah, well... I discovered EXO by reading about Jennie and Kai being together. I was like "let's see who is this guy", saw a dude with a playboy-looking face and after a while I decided to check a song from his group as well.

But I have a hard time liking most girl groups, so yeah....BP are an expection.

Dang, I'm that quiet about them on here? Need to change some habits of mine then and hype them up more often then. Have a great day/night!

I used to think it was a strategy when I was a baby blink and wanted to give the company the benefit of the doubt, but now there's no denying that's the case. I hope they get treated better. The girls (Jennie and Jisoo specifically) even requested before to do two comebacks a year at least, yet it still hasn't happened consistently on a yearly basis. Don't blame it on Covid when all the other groups did two comebacks last year in spite of it. Have a great day/night!

Quote from ISaidISaid

Wow I’ve only seen EXO fans who like other GGs. An original GG Stan liking EXO is new info. Nice you found EXO. As you should

All I can say: Thank you, Jennie!

THREAD OF THE YEAR!! ENDED AKP WHOLE CAREER! BYE GUYS, THE COMPETITION ENDED THE MOMENT OP SPILLED THE TEA IN OUR FACES!!!!

Anyways, i know people love to bring the BiG3 factor, but to me, BP success is unbelievable. They literally captivated so many people (they are the biggest international gg since DEBUT so yes) with their songs and charisma!!!!

They are amazing and i love how they cb stronger, prettier and with new sides! I love them!! and bow down to the queens, the ww gg, the icons, the legendary BLACKPINK!

Quote from ISaidISaid

Big3 power I understand. If they had some success in Korea yes thats big3. But you can’t explain away how explosive they were in 2016 and how much they shot up internationally to just big3.

Agreed. Besides, just because you are from the Big3 does not guarantee popularity, only makes it more likely. If it did guarantee popularity, BOYSTORY (a JYP boy group), would be SO much more popular than they currently are.

Why are you choosing violence like this??? Spill more and make us "ugly cryiiiiiiing" (Rosé reference )!!!!!!

Yes, their international success is crazy since debut and seeing how they are still the TOP1 backed by great numbers even on their hiatus years, i can say they have one of the most loyal fans and they are even more impressive for also having an extraordinary number of casual listeners. Powerful queens!

They don't even know wtf they are doing, just look at their other groups. And BP already cleared all doubts about them only doing well due to hiatus in 2020. Sour candy, hylt, ice cream & the album in the span of 4 months.

I'm starting to think YG either don't care about music industry anymore or are sabotaging BP for their new girl group (imagine if they were THIS stupid, that would be a new low, doubt they are lucking out twice). That man should be thanking everyday those 4 girls went to his company

Yep, that Big 3 or Big 4 argument holds no water. There have been dozens of groups from the Big 4 over the past 20 years. Several of them have done better than BP in Korea and in certain specific Asian markets like Japan.

NONE of them have ever enjoyed such a swift, meteoric rise to Western success as Blackpink. They charted in the Hot 100 in under two years from debut with ZERO American promo. I know WG charted within two years as well but they had a thorough promotional campaign here. I dont think BP stepped foot in the US until after DDDD had charted in the Hot 100 in June of 2018 --> Can any long term Blink correct me if i'm wrong about this? I know they did some promo like months after DDDD released, appearing on a morning talk show in the US, but i dont remember them ever stepping foot here before then.
