having minors is not the right excuse i guess, i mean look at illit..
It's an excuse. Just because other companies don't abide to it doesn't mean it's not there. Also you know how HYBE works they are the most shady company in the industry. If YG gets caught breaking the law it's another nail in the coffin while HYBE will just do their "magic" to shut up journalists or deflect attention to somewhere else.

It's 2024. Just send them to all the music shows. There's no reason for BABYMONSTER and MEOVV to only appear in 2 music shows per comeback. Fans want to see them perform.
BM got multiple minors in the group and they aren't allowed to work to many hours cause of the new laws. Music shows take a lot of time to film.

YG is letting them down with the shitty 1 week delayed promo again. Also by far the worst playlisting on Spotify among popular groups hurts the popularity of BM. It's just stupid that nugu groups have better playlisting than BM.
YG needs to get rid of the people managing their artists music releases. 1 week delayed promo every fcking time and no Spotify playlisting is just straight up stupid these days. Still have hope for Drip since it's a good song and would've been #1 if BP released it.

This was always expected though? 2023 was the big world tour from Blackpink and this year there was only Treasure on tour. Blackpink, Babymonster, Treasure and maybe 2NE1(?) will have their tours next year.
Babymonster could've been #1 on every chart in the world and the financial issues would still be there because touring is where the big money is at.
YG has to rebuild the next 3-4 years and it shouldn't be to much of an issue since Babymonster are already attracting big numbers just for fan meetings.

I agree, and disagree at the same time. What people doing with her online is madness, BUT it's easy to see that she's not used to being part of a group YET, and it's not only her, btw. I'm not saying they should perform like robots, but sometimes it feels like she's doing her own thing, and it doesn't feel like a group performance. Again, SOMETIMES!
Ahyeon is anything, but lazy, that's for sure. She's lacking in some things like vocal range, rap and dance skills, but that's hardly a big issue. What she's doing, it's on YG 99% of the time.
I said this so many times, if YG keep pushing her rather than develop her skills and give her songs in her own range they're gonna ruin her career, not to mention her vocal cords.
This performance is the prime example why I say this!
My god you sound so jealous and sad. If Ahyeon is lacking in vocal range, rap and dance then say goodbye to 99,99% of all Kpop idols.
The fact that you picked out a variety show karaoke FUN!!! performance exposes your agenda so badly.
Ahyeon is easily one of the most talented idols in the business especially considering her age.

I'm afraid that YG will ruin this group. They are very talented but that doesn't matter, the only thing they care about in kpop is the visual aspect and simple songs that appeal to 2 minute westerns. Yg can't read the trend, it's okay for them to go their own way, but at least they shouldn't have repeated Blackpink's concept in this group. Besides, the girls are very young, he could have given them music in a style and concept suitable for their age. This group should have progressed from a genre and style that is unexpected and fresh. They could have applied the 90's concept to the girls instead of choosing a luxury concept.
Comments like this are always funny to me.
So how exactly will YG ruin the group?
Why do you think talent doesn't matter? One reason why "Sheesh" went popular is because of the live performance which showed their talent.
Next what exactly is the trend and why does Babymonster have to follow that trend? Wouldn't it be incredible boring if everyone just follows the trend?You say they "repeated Blackpink's concept", but is this really the case? So far I don't see a fixed concept used with Babymonster. Most of their releases so far sound different. From the 5 songs released only "Batter Up" and "Sheesh" are similiar in structure.
Babymonster is doing well for a rookie and are on the rise.
- 300m views on "Sheesh"
- over 200m streams on "Sheesh"
- highest album sales among rookies
- 7m subs on Youtube
- Their first full album is on course to sell 1m copies.
Also remember that Babymonster member are still young and most of them are still years younger than Blackpink was when they debuted.

Yes korean charts are largely irrelevant because kpop turned into a global music genre years ago. A kpop artist can be unknown in Korea yet still tour around the world filling 10k venues or even more. Why would a company put more focus on one market if you can attract people from all over the world? Besides that YG is promoting BM in korea for this comeback as the group is now complete again.
Any semi popular kpop bg sells more than 350k in a week.

If you exclude korean charting which again is largely irrelevant in modern kpop they are doing well not just for a new group but kpop groups in general. Also they have been groups that have done worse than BM in multiple metrics and yet sold more than 350k in a week. Besides that BM has been memed since their debut last year and from my observation more people are now willing to give them chance after their 'real debut' which surely boosted sales after the first days.

I think, like I already mentioned, people are making too many assumptions and predictions.
We don't know the scope of the contract YG has with the girls in terms of "group activities". We don't know what it entails, what the specifics are, and what clauses are in the contracts.
If YG had any smarts in this, I would assume (see... assume) that they have stipulations in the group about content release. Either a minimum albums clause for duration of the contract or a minimum releases per set time frame as well as other various promotional clauses and a tour.
But nobody here knows what the contract entails and it's possible we won't ever.
So too assume that this is amazing news for the girls and Blinks and think we will be swimming in new stuff, or to conversely start dancing on Blackpinks grave thinking it's all ogre is jumping the gun completely.
YG tried to hide/deflect the individual contract situation regarding Blackpink members. YG always does this stuff when they are fcked. Let's be real all 4 members left YG individually. No matter how you spin it this is humiliating for YG and shows that the relationship isn't great.

Yummy yummy blink tears
Most blinks are actually weirdly super happy about this situation because now the girls are apparently freed from the evil YG empire that imprisoned them for 7 years while making the girls ridiculous rich. Not seeing the bigger picture that YG got a shit deal on their hands while their music department is in shambles. YG has no control over BP anymore and can't rely on them. YG would be next level dumb if they don't invest everything in their new groups now. I can even see YG push forward the debuts of their new bg and that japanese new gg.

True but I just can't see that happening. I have some doubts if YG even wants a Blackpink comeback. All 4 members not resigning for individual activity is quite humiliating for Yang Hyunsuk and if you know YHS you know he's a big narcissist. Just making money from the Blackpink brand while not investing resources in BP could be fine for YG.

that's not deceiving lol put yourself in their place and we will see them performing again I don't know why you think they deceiving fans
because they still want to be perform as blackpink they just want to be able to explore other areas that have been denied or YG not be able to give them the bare minimum and you know this
you are being extremely radical and seeing things from one perspective things aren't black and white .
do you honestly think they don't like performing as group ? the way I see it they try to compromise and find a way like a middle ground it could work for all of them being a group and still be able to do have solo activities and with YG they couldn't do so
why do they need to pick one option when they can have a second option? DO you want YG to keep profiting from them shamelessly without making any effort? well, having bp brand name is something they gained for themselves and it's 'well deserved and I don't see any issue with that.
I still don't understand why do you want them to renew under YG knowing how bad is YG for solo activities.
You are doing the same though. You are only seeing this from the perspective of Blackpink and not YG Entertainment.
This is an awful contract situation for YG. If there's going to be comeback it will have to be under YG's conditions otherwise it's not profitable for YG. YG needs big concert tours to recoup the money invested in a BP comeback. Album sales aren't going to be enough especially now that BP very likely has a better contract meaning YG receives even less money from Blackpink content.
Now the question is do the girls even want to do big tours while they manage their solo activities simultaneously? Do the agency of the girls want them to do big tours for YG? What if for example Lisa's new agency wants her to do a solo tour instead? There are so many variables now and the stars have to be aligned in the right way for a blackpink comeback. Surely you will also have 2 or 3 of the girls trying to get into acting and that is going to block a lot of time for a possible comeback.What you will probably see next year is YG trying to milk fans with the Blackpink brand in every possible way without direct or only little involvement from the girls. Merchandise, mobile games, VR & AI, a remix album and more stuff like that.
Also even if there's going to be a Blackpink comeback it will likely be low effort from YG because it wouldn't be smart to use your best ideas and songs on a group you don't have 100% control over anymore.

You mean a downward trajectory right? Though I wouldn't blame Newjeans for that. Kpop hasn't been this irrelevant since 2017/2018. Kpop companies are just much better in milking existing fans these days.
The music part of Kpop has lost so much quality over the years which is down to companies investing more in their marketing budget than the music. Hybe is the biggest offender of that.
