Do kpop fans still think the lack of comebacks for Blackpink is a strategy and not because of YG's misogyny and bad management?

It's a defense mechanics bc their groups get cmbs but don't make as much noise as BP

I believe at this point the girls have something to do with that long hiatus. I guess they want to build their solo careers, and that takes time. I mean, that company can commint the same mistakes again and again. Is too stupid

I think it’s because yg is incompetent

But I guess competent enough to give Blackpink songs that hit big but not enough to do it often

Some still do sigh

Always trying to discredit bp, ofc it’s the dumb hiatus that made them famous not the members and good music

The number of times this particular thread has been made.... Its almost like every other month..

They just can't manage their artists

They should have like 3 groups and 1 or 2 soloists so nobody would suffer with hiatus

The same old questions every year to the point of getting tired of answering. I am done with the generic YG questions anymore, just google them ffs

They might just be going for the ''minimum investment,maximum profit'' route

One release once in a while is enough to keep them going while they spend the rest of their time milking their popularity for all it's worth through other activities.

we all know yg loves the d, people just want a reason to discredit BP, so for them its always going to be a sTrAtEgY yet the bgs have multiple flop comebacks with the same period of hiatus

They do CFs sometimes but that takes like a day then what do they do the rest of the month? Nothing. That's not maximum profit

People already know the answer but the same argument is being brought.

Only in the kpop fandom do people expect comebacks every season. Even I got tired of Rihanna’s yearly album release. Taking a break helps out so your singles don’t start all sounding the same.

I’m sure they’re cooking up something. I’m sure it’ll be good. And I’m sure we’re all going to eat it.

Because kpop≠western music if they were a western group no one would have complained

I think it was never their strategy but that might have changed in recent times. I'm sure yg has people monitoring social media reaction and comments so this "bp does well because of hiatus" has reached their ears and now they believe it's actually true (yes they are that stupid).

Well it's not like the BP girls have any meaningful say in their music right? They don't contribute much. Otherwise they would be releasing more consistently. I imagine, at least.

I mean yeah. Considering how small the korean market is, it’s weird how oversaturated it is. It kind of puts into perspective why many of these idols, especially female ones, don’t have long lasting careers for decades.

Fans wanting more and more, quicker and quicker, makes for a short career with forgettable releases.
