True but pretty sure they've more power than regular people.

This documentary has nothing to do with the current hybe fued. Those who watch hybe/bighit content would know hybe documentaries follow the same pattern and honestly I hate how they always glorify overwork, injuries and exhaustion. And I'm amazed that every few consumers call them out. I stopped watching bts documentaries for the same reason. Idk what exactly Hybe's wants to prove by shoving camera onto the faces of members crying, fainting and definitely feeling uncomfortable.

I don't listen to many soloists but out of all mainstream soloists, I'd say IU love wins all followed by Bibi.

I don't think they will do promotions in a dying market. Look at the charts in the dead of summer, rn.
I hope so

And I hope they don't do Korean promotions.

Idk why we are acting like BTS and Blackpink started out as equals. Your post would make sense if we are talking about "Big 3" boy group and "Big 3" girl group who had equal opportunities from the start. But this is not the case here.
Historically in kpop "Big 3" groups have always outperformed and outlived the other groups. "Non Big 3" groups face more challenges and are more likely to disband within the first 2-3 years. So here Blackpink was never going to disband in 2-3 years regardless of their results. But BTS would have if they had not succeeded.
This is kpop we are talking about. Here music consumption has mostly been dependent on which company you are debuting from more than if it's a boy group or a girl group. Because we have fans like you for example who would stan the next group the company produces. That's why even the smallest of the "Big 3" groups (be it boy groups or girl groups) have always made better living than "non Big 3" groups. Till BTS came and widened the audience pool.
That's why I find it ridiculous when people act as if "Big 3" & "non Big 3" groups have equal grounds in the industry heavily influenced by companies. Like have some self awareness. It is downright disrespectful to ignore that context.
It is time to stop acting like Blackpink are just another girl group. They were the most privileged group in kpop history at the time of their debut and were unarguably the most pushed group till NewJeans debuted. Their success was written from the start because of the company they came from. Blackpink are not like other girl groups who didn't get many opportunities. So it is not logical to use this analogy here and compare with BTS as if they got more opportunities than Blackpink or both had the equal grounds. If they had actually started our as equals, it would not be an exaggeration to say Blackpink would have been at best like (for example) Everglow looking at their talent and passion for the music.
And no, Blackpink and BTS are not equally known in terms of global popularity. The premise of this thread is actually right. Blackpink name got more known mainly because it was added as +1 with BTS since they broke out in the west. In reality there are levels between their global popularity. Blackpink are not even as known as BTS in their own country, let alone outside of it.
We need to talk about more, it's iconic.
