HYBE bought an article to take down Rosé, "clearing the way" for Jin to return, BLINKs rushed in to scold her

The most successful "handshake" currently probably belongs to Rosé - Bruno Mars, because since its release until now, " APT." has continuously dominated domestic and international charts, bringing the duo's name to a new height.

However, recently, an article bluntly stated that the success of the "Australian rose" with the Billboard hit "APT." was thanks to BTS. This point of view immediately caused fierce debate in Korea. The majority of netizens expressed their opposition to the writer.

Accordingly, on November 19, Korean media outlet Money Today published an article about Jin's return after completing his military service, while emphasizing the position of global boy group BTS in the Kpop industry and the world.

Author Kim So Yeon stated: "HYBE's rise to the top of the entertainment industry is largely due to BTS. The group has won the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 eight times (including solo activities) and appeared on the chart more than 50 times. The majority of Hot 100 records set by K-pop artists are held by BTS."

No one commented on the article until the female reporter commented that Rosé's achievements were also largely due to BTS. " BLACKPINK's Rosé recently achieved an impressive achievement when she ranked 8th on the Billboard chart with APT., her duet with Bruno Mars. This achievement is also part of a bigger picture, mainly thanks to BTS paving the way into the global pop market, which previously had little knowledge of K-pop."

Faced with this argument, many netizens felt confused, even angry because they suspected that HYBE was behind the manipulation of author Kim, in order to bring down BLACKPINK's main vocalist. While others thought that the writer tried to drag the female idol into the discussion to increase interaction because she was getting a lot of attention.

"What should we do when HYBE insists that Rosé's success is thanks to them"; "This author must have received money from HYBE"; "What do you mean? HYBE's efforts to suppress BLACKPINK are so fierce. They are bringing down BLACKPINK by manipulating the charts"; "They are denying the career that BLACKPINK and Rosé have built over the past 8 years. Every time another group succeeds, social media is flooded with the words 'BTS paved the way'. It's annoying"; "They are so shameless";

"Does anyone not know that fans pooled a large sum of money from somewhere, created accounts, and bought songs to increase their rankings? All just so their idols could appear on Billboard?"; "I really don't understand how they manipulate the media"; "Don't they know who Bruno Mars is?"; "Remember before BTS, there was Psy"; "PSY's Gangnam Style in 2012 was the song that brought Kpop into the Western music world. All HYBE fans are fooled if they think that Kpop first got noticed thanks to BTS"... netizens commented.

Some other opinions expressed a more objective view, saying that BTS has greatly contributed to helping Kpop stand firmer in the world music industry, but that cannot deny the talent and strategy of the "Australian rose". Currently, the wave of anger from netizens towards the above article has not shown any signs of cooling down.

Despite not being recognized by a part of the media, Rosé has continued to assert herself with quality music products. The proof is that on November 22, she will release the single " Number One Girl" at 2 pm Korean time.

It is known that this is the new song of the "Australian rose" since "APT." and is included in the upcoming album "rosie", making fans excited and eagerly waiting. Similar to the hit song in collaboration with Bruno Mars, "Number One Girl" was also written and composed by Rosé, providing a deeper insight into the personal story she wanted to convey.

If nothing changes, Rosé's "rosie" will be released on December 6, 2024. Meanwhile, Lisa has just set the release date for her solo album "Alter Ego" as February 28, 2025, which also includes 12 tracks like her best friend. In addition, Jisoo has previously hinted about her comeback, so it is likely that at the end of this year and the beginning of next year, Kpop will be bustling with extremely fierce "encounters" from the BLACKPINK pieces.

Rosé pleases fans, inciting Bruno Mars to "turn around" and bring the super hit "APT." to MAMA 2024 Bình Minh14:37:08 21/11/2024Fans were overwhelmed with emotion when they heard that MAMA 2024 would be Rosé and Bruno Mars' first stage with the hit song APT. Before that, they were also disappointed because they didn't see their names on the list.
