Looks a lot similar to Tkay Maidza cover for Last Year Was Weird Vol 2. Wouldn’t be surprised if they took “inspiration” again.
The background just looks like Black Mamba and the bike is clearly inspired by Tron. An 80s cyberpunk film that has LED bicycles.

She's so gorgeous!
It is to everyone, but the artists also need to be comfortable talking about it
Of course!
This is an important thing and an important topic? At least, it is to me.
I really appreciate it when my favourite artists talk about world issues because it can help people and make their fandom a safer place.
Even if you're famous celebrity it doesn't mean it will help them. Even a famous figure like a prime minister in a country couldn't help to prevent this racism thing. It's not a celebrity job/obligation to speak for it. Different people have different kinds of things they fight for.
Yeah, that is true but they could've gotten a lot of donations by using their platform.
Blackpink are not obliged to speak because all those followers and fans love them for their music, performance and fashion. Not philanthropy.
Bts on the other hand have dipped their toes in philanthropy work early on with unicef etc. They also have a big following in America. Them speaking out makes sense. And like a user said bp gets hated on for the smallest of things, if they speak out on this then everyone will jump on them calling them clout chasers.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I completely get that and I'm sure YG stops them from speaking out on stuff that doesn't relate to their image or make them money.
Blackpink also has a big following but obviously not in the same way as BTS, who spoke at the UN and sstuff. They are still one of the few, popular Asian artists in America, though.
I just think YG is holding them back and that they could be doing so much more with their fame but maybe they aren't comfortable speaking out on insanely controversial issues.
I didn't want to start an argument, once again. I just thought it was upsetting.
Display MoreAlso, the fact you said this already showed you don't actually care.
You literally said that BlackPink promoting sustainability is an "easy way for them to act woke"
I'm guessing you probably don't even care about this, you just want to drag the girls for every single thing they didn't do. If they did speak up about it you probably be like "they are just using racism against Asians as another easy way for them to act woke" like what you said in your OP. Your true colors just spilled all over.
Come up with something new and original in future and maybe we will take your "member since 22 Apr 2021" seriously
Global Warming is an easy way for them to be woke because Korea cannot get mad at them for that.
But, they definitely could get backlash for speaking out on stuff like BLM so I do think that's why they don't touch on it. Why YG doesn't let them.
I do care. Like I said, I'm a person of colour and I just wish BP would use their platform for good.
They have so many followers and young people watching them but they only promote designer products. Which is fine but I think BP is very intelligent and could start some good conversation.
Oh really? The narrative was quite different a minute ago I swear. 🤣
What narrative? This whole time I have been talking about BP being the biggest gg in America. In the world.
I have to compare to BTS because like I said before, they are their female counterparts.
Of course, BTS is more use to talking about issues but I wish Blackpink did the same thing since so many young fans look up to them. They are the most followed idols on Instagram.
I'm not trying to make it an issue.
I thought they weren't famous in America and only in sea?
???
Of course, Blackpink are huge in America.
I never asked for them to say their own experiences?? Plenty of idols just shared the hashtag and donated money. Asked their fans to donate money.
Yes, BTS went that extra step to connect with the victims but that's not what I'm asking for everyone to do.
I just thought it was weird that they said nothing at all because Lisa's racism is public knowledge and obviously, the rest of members wouldn't be happy about it.
I can understand if Lisa (or Jisoo) didn't want to say anything but Rosé and Jennie could have.
It is required in this topic because they are BTS' counterpart in the American industry.
I'm a person of colour so I'm just upset that the girls didn't say anything when so many of their fans are black and Asian, of course.
It’s really their choice to speak out or not. They are in control of how they use their platforms, not us.
They could've really helped people so, I hope they learn to eventually use their voice.
They promote in America so no, they aren't just idols anymore.
It just looks ignorant of them to reap the benefits of America without speaking out on the negative issues.
Because they are idols, not politicians.
That's not an excuse. When you're at that level of fame, you have to use your platform for good.
Why did Blackpink never speak out on Asian Hate?
They are the biggest girl group in the world, the biggest Asian girl group in the world but they never spoke out on the Asian Hate that's going on in America. When Lisa is a big victim of racism herself.
BTS got hate for posting a message late but they still did it and it was admirable.
I've noticed that Blackpink tip toe around which world issue they want to advocate for.
They are promoting sustainability (which is a very easy way for them to act woke) but aren't speaking up for people of colour and their own community??
