Idk how long you've been a kpop fan but the concept of "girl crush" has been around way before Black Pink. The only difference is the nomenclature of the generation. Even S.E.S and FINKL and Baby Vox did "Girl Crush". The only difference was it was marketed as "Girl Power". It's not that Black Pink popularized the concept, it was just that the trend was heading that way again. It usually goes cutesy, then hard, then sexy, then cutesy again.

Well to put some hindsight, using real people has always been a copyright liability (at least in the US). It's why on TV, Movies, literary works, there is always a disclaimer where they state that. "This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental..." Even if it is blatantly obvious that it is a work of fiction. Fanfiction has always been a gray area because it is understood as fiction but they use an actual person. No one really bothered with it for the most part because it is understood as a fan thing and financially, even if you sue the creator, you would end up paying more just from lawyer fees .But it has evolved into something that the people being used in the story feel uncomfortable to downright morbidly offended from being associated with it. No one is safe from fanfiction, not just idols or actors/actresses, even private citizens that have a huge online following are being used for fanfiction nowadays.
