Why do people keep trying to make this about America when it was a world war. Americans werent even the ones that were affected the most. 6 million european jews died, and about 5 million more non jews in europe at the hands of the nazis. You guys are justifying and advocating for ignorance, which in circumstances likes these, is genuinely hurtful, with this "why should they care" shit instead of realizing that both sides are wrong and should educate themselves. Would it kill some of you to be the least bit empathetic??

I’m not trying to make this about America. I simply used America as an example because that is where I live lmao

Quote from selfmate

May I ask where are you from btw? as in background or ethnicity because the bolded part I found very interesting

I am not East Asian

Quote from sleeplessnights

I don't appreciate either, but you have to be careful to not turn it into whataboutism.

It’s not whataboutism. It’s mind your superiority complex cause you’re on the same boat-ism

Quote from selfmate

They should both care

ignorance of one group of people does not diminish the ignorance of another group.

ie. two wrongs don't make a right lol

As long as Westerners continue the superiority complex gig and demand that Koreans and other non western countries know their history meanwhile they know fuck all about others’ I’m gonna stick to they need to shut up and focus on the mess of their own countries, but that’s just me! Like the amount of people going “koreans” this and that, when so many western celebrities and politicians have been seen wearing nazi symbolism (their fav Prince Harry for example) and in America white people still to do this day get married, throw parties, and eat at restaurants in slave plantations.

Quote from sleeplessnights

Average Korean is shallow about some of the Western history like European side of WW2 in this case. However, I think people are pissed that a Kpop company under Big Hit would allow for such airheaded mistake to happen.

Kpop is out there and they should be more careful about this sorta stuff as image is everything in Kpop and they actively try controversial stuff, but Koreans seem a little too oblivious by certain things. And also, this always keep happening (not just Koreans, East Asians in general which are big cultural asset exporters). People wonder they should have gotten the memo by now.

That’s not why people are mad. People are making it quite clear they’re pissed she doesn’t know about their history when 99% of them don’t anything about Korea.

Of course they need to crack down on having a more globalized view, but I do not appreciate these westerners attitudes looking down on them as if they are any better. Only difference is when westerners ignorantly insult East Asians nothing happens because they aren’t as powerful.

Let me explain this to you clearly, when these idols put on fake dreads and box braids they are not thinking of Africa. They dress up in this way, change their mannerisms, and speech to copy HIP HOP, which is an African American genre. Why should ONLY Africans have a say concerning a culture that they’re not even part of? Both have a say and one doesn’t like it. How many times can y’all ask this same tired question? There’s so many courses that can be taken on intercultural communications, anthropology, sociology. Pick one.

Quote from Oh_Kill_Em

Lol the WW in WWII stands for World War not Western War but I'm not surprised, I said in my group chat that SK only cares about Japan's involvement with the Axis alliance. Their Korean fanbase might be fine but if she doesn't apologize GF's international fanbase is gonna take a serious hit...but I feel like the overseas buddies are small

If you ask the average westerner about the asian side of the war they won’t have a clue what went on beyond Japan, most Americans can’t even list their own 50 states...so why should Koreans care about the western side? Lmao

Lmao I kept telling people they wouldn’t care. People keep going off about “ nazis were siding with Japan in WWll!!!” So? That doesn’t mean they know anything about them beyond that lmao. They clearly do not and have no reason to. I wouldn’t know Jack shit about nazi Germany if the American school system didn’t teach it more than slavery as if it happened in our country.

The way I didn’t watch a single one >

Besides the troll. No one in South Korea cares and they’ve never had a notable i-fanbase so they’ll be fine lmao

Quote from azhra-0110

If bp underperformed with that number then nct and other groups who got even less lowkey flopped. I don't see where's the insane and expensive promotion yg pulled off other than tweets and a couple youtube vids

Are NCT on the same level as blackpink???...You see who their name is constantly next to and it’s not NCT, TWICE, EXO or whatever group y’all are gonna bring up next, so please don’t try to lower the value of your own faves. Y’all can act obtuse if you want to, but there’s a reason it’s radio silence from YG right now, all companies with impressive numbers immediately released them So maybe there is a real delay, it’s YG after all, but it could also be the same reason no one to this day knows how many people bought bighit New Year’s Eve tickets lmaooo also there was heavy promotion on every single social media platform and they even did a james Corden preview of the concert and interview. Enough

Quote from ForgottenSoul

You cant say it under performed company expectations based on nothing.. even if they spend $2m they still would make like 8 million profit.. P

It didnt under perform and it beat other fandom driven groups like NCT? Twice?

Since when has TWICE and NCT been the ones YG has been trying to get blackpink to beat? It’s 2021 not 2016. Underperforming =\= didn’t make a profit. Underperforming simply means expectations were not met. They wouldn’t have done such a heavy promo run, more than any online concert ever if expectations were being met. Simple as. Also if YG’s expectations were met they would’ve announced the numbers already, but they didn’t for a reason. I’m not dissing blackpink. I’m just stating my opinion based on what I see. Relax.

Quote from salem9

Those who already “proved” some sort of strong bond between each one of them:

Big Bang, Got7, Mamamoo, 2ne1, and that’s about it

Other than that I’m pretty sure the big majority aren’t as close and have a coworker relationship only. Of course there will be strong friendships between two or three members. But it’s nearly impossible for a large group of individuals to become close out of nowhere just because they see each other pretty much 24/7

The blatant omitting of BTS is just childish lmao

It’s not bad but it definitely underperformed. Not for me, but for the company. They promoted the SHIT out of it towards the end, so they were clearly expecting higher numbers. Blackpink just aren’t a fanbase driven group, hence the illegal livestream views being insane. It is what it is.

I’ve been saying this!!! She’s was styled terribly and kinda still is but even a slight improvement has people talking

Quote from troye22

i saw a couple of tweets saying this too; that bh is the actual owner & that the show has to negotiated with bh to keep the performances on their channel? i don't really know what's true & i tried to look it up, but it's complicated tbh (i have no knowledge about these things), but i don't understand how they couldn't work something out to keep those performances online, one way or another.

Nope. That’s not how it works.

Quote from NaomiBlue

Side note, copyright and ownership of performances is very, very complicated.

So?...also no one believes it’s that difficult. multiple artists and labels have done it. Let’s not act like it’s not a process HIRED people can’t do timely when I see artists do it all the time even the day of the performance I’ve seen it before.

Winter Package: Released Feb 26th

BE 2.0: Released Feb 19th

Guess which has been promoted more so far lmaooo

no need to guess they did the same thing with seasons greetings and BE deluxe. Their priorities are crystal clear so them not buying their music certifications or performances is anything surprising but you know the usual suspects are in here making excuses

They’ve been doing more promo for this one online concert than any act who has done one so I assume the extra promo is either cause they’re close to beating something or it’s underperforming, but that’s just me.

This would imply there are ones I like

Even if Japanese artists did promote in Korea it wouldn’t sell. Koreans don’t like it and I agree with them lmao most of j-pop aint digestible outside of Japan

Quote from drchimchim

LMFAO wowww you are dense af. Your utterly lack of reading comprehension is honestly quite pathetic. Find me where anyone said anything about “owning their entire music catalog”. Is the voice in your head acting up again?

THAT IS WHAT OWNING YOUR MASTERS PRETTY MUCH MEANS

Do you think Taylor Swift would be re-recording every song in her existence rn if she owned her catalog? Again more just random talking for you people
