BLACKPINK is one of the hottest Kpop girl groups today, having influence not only in music but also in the fashion field, but BLACKPINK's fans do not stop "screaming" because it has been 18 months, the group has not had a more general music products since "The Album".
BLACKPINK "going to military service"
In October 2020, BLACKPINK released their first studio album called "The Album" with 2 hits "How You Like That" and "Lovesick Girls". Since then, only Rosé, Lisa's solo activities have not been added with any music products with full members.
Allkpop reflected in the March 29 post that, in fact, BLACKPINK has had a long hiatus between comebacks, leaving their fans waiting for months, even years.
Therefore, many Blink members (Blackpink's fandom name) on the online community have expressed dissatisfaction and complained about Blackpink's long hiatus as a group.
Media channel Idol Issue shared an article showing that BLACKPINK's hiatus is equivalent to the time of military service of male idols.
According to Idol Issue, BLACKPINK has only released 23 music products during 7 years of operation and has not come back for more than a year. While many boy groups go on hiatus because members have to go to mandatory military service, BLACKPINK is wasting that precious time.
In the last months of 2021 and early 2022 alone, every time BLACKPINK appears on the newspaper, it is information related to their participation in fashion shows, as the face of luxury brands. Or Jisoo for the first time playing the female lead in "Snowdrop" alongside Jung Hae In.
4 members become global ambassadors of 4 famous French brands. Lisa is Celine's "muse", Rosé represents Saint Laurent, Jisoo is covered at Dior events and Jennie is busy promoting Chanel.
On Allkpop, the audience commented, "BLACKPINK is very talented but they seem to be more interested in being an influence than a real artist. It's a pity that they're just as popular as people these days. ad without any music related activities", "I almost forgot that BLACKPINK is an idol group".
Blink also reacted harshly to the management agency YG Entertainment. BLACKPINK fans complained, "YG is using these girls' looks to literally make money and shake up their talents", "YG only cares about money and it's obvious that they make a lot of money." more from fashion events as well as fan support"...
Even the audience pointed out, BLACKPINK did not release any music, but YG continued to sell goods to "collect money" from fans. Typically, BLACKPINK's classic style greetings for 2022 or a Korean learning material called "Blackpink in Your Korean" in collaboration with Hybe - BTS's management company.
Danger of disbandment
It's hard to believe when thinking about the prospect that the second hottest girl group in Kpop will disband, but this is what many BLACKPINK fans worry about.
An audience analysis, the contract period that Kpop idols sign with the management company usually lasts 7 years. Therefore, if they don't release music, BLACKPINK has a high chance of disbanding because there is only 1 year left to expire.
"It would be funny if they didn't release a new song or show any sign of coming back for 15 months until their contract ended. It's crazy how YG makes their artists so desirable and" sanctify" by not making a comeback for many years", one audience commented.
Some comments also point to the risk that BLACKPINK will repeat 2NE1's sad disbandment: "This is exactly what happened to 2NE1 at their peak. YG turned them into models. and brand ambassadors because that way, the profits are higher. I love YG groups, but unfortunately they don't have many opportunities to show their music and talent."
Besides, some other viewers said that if they come back, BLACKPINK needs to change the color. Because, "Blackpink's music starts repeating because of the same producer", "BLACKPINK is too dependent on Teddy".
While a lot of people are interested in online music thanks to the pandemic, Blackpink can take advantage of online platforms to stay active. But "instead of promoting an already famous and successful group, YG is thinking of forming new groups".
BLACKPINK showed signs of coming back, but fans are clearly indifferent! Nắng14:58:40 08/04/2022It's been a long time since I've seen BLACKPINK standing on stage. After more than 500 days without new music from BLACKPINK as a group, many BLINKs (BLACKPINK's fandom) are eagerly waiting for an official announcement from YG about the girls' comeback.
