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.

'global' 32m streams on Youtube after over 2 weeks. 45m on Spotify, barely any increase in monthly listeners.

All of this despite the biggest marketing budget ever for a kpop group. Even BTS at their height had less advertisement.

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.

YG music video concepts are never like the teasers. Also Winner did stuff like this.

Quote from BlinkNation

Jennie was literally ill and had to leave the stage! Honestly, it's messed up to use such an incident to drag her and BP.

Honestly, Lisa does have more energy and performance skills than the others, but all groups are like that. Why do people act like BP are the only group where that is the case? They all have their different strengths.

Because armys are toxic people. /Thread

Isn't it weird that YG suddenly remembered that he has groups to debut or take care of? And going in front of camera no less to announce it as well. And announcing it for August, with Baemon debuting in September shortly after, the timing of it is just so suspicious. Almost like big shakeup is coming and investors need to be reassured that YG has a future

Of course this could be due to BigBang news as well, since investors were worried about that, so who knows. But Hardy might be cooking something

This is just YG blaming the mismanagement of the company in the past 2-3 years on him not being in charge. He's just feeding his huge ego. To be honest the Babymonster promotion have been very successful and if YG manages to turn Treasure around maybe there is some truth to it.

The song was in the 60s last week so i think the MV really shot the song up. power of Twice beauty

Youtube views are part of the criteria for Billboard Japan Top 100 which explains why it went up.
Twice receive a lot more views on their mv's compared to japanese artists since mass streaming is not a thing in japan.
Anyway the song is nowhere seen on Spotify Japan Top 50 which is understandable as it's another generic Twice song. Twice have actually lost their title as the most popular kpop group in japan at this point. Blackpink made more money with concerts in Japan than Twice and Hybe artists are charting a lot better on Spotify Japan than Twice.

In general I don't understand what JYP has been doing with their groups in Japan for the past 2-3 years.
NiziU went from the next big thing to dead group within 2 years. Twice losing their top spot and what is Itzy doing exactly? Stray Kids is the only JYP group improving their popularity in Japan. Really poor management from JYP.

No, it doesn't.

If you don't provide official data, then it doesn't prove anything.

But, please know, I also understand that you may choose to not believe the information in the OP because it also does not provide official data. If you don't believe, I get that, but none of what you have said provides substantial evidence to completely discredit it.

Yes it does. Please use your brain.

Why do kpop fans struggle so much in admitting that Babymonster is a really talented group?

I had to stop halfway through. The lyrics are incredible cringe. The song itself is fine but I can't listen to it with these cringe lyrics.

People that can't read and think this is their debut .

I was still learning to wipe my own ass till then I'm

She's 14 and 3 months old now. No idea why they used outdated ages. Maybe it was actually filmed last year lol.

Crush/bbibbi is pretty obvious if you ask me. I noticed it the first moment I listened to Crush. The others are reaching.

They have two singers the others are poor. Especially Sakura should be a bit ashamed that she's been in the industry for over 10 years and can't sing live at all.

Quote from kurlet

I don't think they should bypass korea unless the demand international is high. They should focus first promoting in korea and get their support. That's where bp and twice started after all. Attempting to go global without gaining kr recognition is like a ship with a broken keel.

For what though? Melon is dying and full of fans zombie streaming. Korea is small in comparison to the rest of the world. Also Babymonster will only get hate from koreans because they don't fit the shitty korean "beauty standard". Besides that Babymonster makes almost no noise so far in Korea. All the hype is internationally.

I would rather them skip Korea and avoid all the hate from other companies fans.

Do people really believe the girls would do a survival show a year ago and have to wait until now to know if they debut? Not even YG would to this. Imagine the toll this would take on the girls mental health.

They are popular in China and parasocial relationships are on an enormous rise in China. This explain the high album sales.

I havent see anything from this group going viral, specially in kforums knetz just stopped talking about them the moment yg announced that reality thing

Implying Kpop companies still care about what happens in korea let alone korean forums.

The fact that people think Ruka is "untalented" speaks volumes about the skills of Babymonster. Ruka would be rated a good idol rapper if she was in any other kpop group.

Lily has a strong voice colour but she can't sing a song like 'Pick up your Feelings' like Haram did.
