Spice girls are for sure the most renowned girl group ever but my grip with them is that they were kind of a couple years fad. The thing though, is that wannabe their global hit was so massive you could say it's easily the biggest gg song ever, even if bp or fifth harmony got the most streamed songs
It's only a matter of time before blackpink are considered spice girls tier. They are massive on every metric, their touring power is top tier right now even including western artists

They have already joined the select group with spice girls, tlc and destinys child and will end up above them

I mentioned them in 1 comment but that's "cant stop talking", just say you are out of arguments and can't push your agenda with facts

Yet One of These Nights was hyped in several articles for the weeks prior to it coming out. It feels like you're saying this song which was very obviously hyped up more and billed as a big collab tanked slightly less than the other 2 songs no ones heard of so it's not a failure?
If anyone thinks this song wasn't intended to do well and that people behind it will be satisfied with the terrible results I don't know what to say.
Do you think those others songs had funding goals, streaming parties and buying parties like One Of These nights? Lol. You're using a ton of words to just say what 4 letters can about this song.
Stop spewing nonsense botter guy. This wasn't "hyped up" for a month prior to release, it was barely confirmed a few days before dropping and it has no mv, no nothing.
Popular feat madonna, carti = 165m playlist reach
One of the girls = 15m
Double fantasy feat future = 40m but peaked at over 120 during release
Funny how it's mostly onces trying to make everyone think this was a massively pushed song that's flopping thanks to jennie. Keep trying buddies

Technically, they already have been there since Mexico is considered as part of latam too
True I guess I count them out since they are in north america. For yg mexico is probably united states but people wear sombreros and got mustache

They will go to antarctica before latin america

Considering how popular the Weeknd is, this really does feel like an achievement. Just the wrong kind.
His other songs on this mini ep are getting 200k streams daily, this one is getting streams at all just because jennie is in it and she barely has lines, but sure jennie made him "tank". it's also not pushed like the song with future or madonna's. I assure you if twice were in it it wouldn't enter the chart even 1 day

Ah yes, the 50 followers "Pop Base" account

To my assessment there is an underlying difference between the two.
Eunbi's performance took place at a Korean festival in Korea attended by Koreans. While on the more provocative and sexual side, it still perhaps falls within the spectrum of tolerated behavior. In such a context some idols can get away with more provocative sexual displays, as it's in house (i.e. for Korea). Think Sunmi, etc.
In contrast, Jennie is performing for a foreign audience. Not Korea. This carries with it different reputational and cultural expectations and implications. Such a blatant sexual display for foreigners carries much more pronounced expectations and weight as it comes to how she is seen to represent Korea in a foreign context, what values she is projecting, and how that reflects on Korea. There's much more responsibility there for her to uphold a standard that does not debase or compromise herself, and in turn, her homeland.
As perhaps the single most prominent current Korean female representing Korea abroad, Jennie is effectively the international face of Korean feminine cultural identity. She represents not just herself, not just BLACKPINK, but Korea as a nation and the ethos it wishes to project through its manifestation of Hallyu abroad.
Within such a context, as a role model and cultural representative for Korea and in particular as a representative of Korean women, that she is essentially acting out explicit sexual scenes for the foreign market, even if fictional, presumably in exchange for greater access to or acceptance within said market, it can be seen as deeply antithetical to the cultural values of Korea proper and degrading as it comes to the generally positive cultural exchange greater Hallyu attempts to export internationally through its other Hallyu pillars.
To put it bluntly, in such a sensitive cultural framework, Jennie can be seen as having essentially sold herself to foreign interests in a debasing context for monetary gain or favor. This is not something positive, and can be seen as shameful from such a cultural exchange perspective.
Thus explains the harsh of criticism she has underwent for her actions.
In contrast, and to bring it back to the initial post's comparison to the actions of Eunbi or others, their domestic performances simply do not carry the same cultural implications and reputational sensitivities.
They are presumably given more leeway.
