The only reason Blackpink is successful is Blackpink.

Quote from wsoet

This to me is not a very satisfying explanation.

Certainly, there are others artists who have good music (which itself is very subjective), are good performers, and are likable, right?

they have a star quality (imo) all of them have different personalities and complement each other. I guess you can say they have a good dynamic together.

They are also very relatable and as much as people complain they don't do much fanservice or communicate with us all the time and that's exactly make them look more genuine they only update us when they really want it's not forced.

Another thing is their sense of fashion a lot of young women look up to them and aspire to be like them (including younger female idols)

BTS paved the way

Agree!

But all I gotta say is..... my eyes hurt from reading the text

They also established themselves as some of the biggest social media influencers in the world, attending fashion shows regularly and what not…. once you get the attention of major fashion houses, you’re set. Look at GD…. dude is probably more known these days for his fashions than his music.

as sad as it is, they literally can wait another year without releasing music and they’re still be as relevant as when they last released a single.

Can’t say the same for other groups, girls or boys, who need to pump out songs every season and be featured in every tv show imaginable to even remotely be talked about.
