Jennie (BLACKPINK) was "ignored" by YG by 1 unexpected character, related to contract issues?

Despite the global coverage, recently, member Jennie made netizens stand still when only through 1 detail, many speculated that she was being "neglected" by YG.

Known as 1 of 4 members of the group capable of dominating the charts both domestically and globally.

However, recently, Jennie (BLACKPINK) was suddenly surpassed by the "junior" by the comeback of IVE - the Gen 4 group has only started to resonate recently.

Specifically, with the mini album "I've MINE", IVE is one of the groups with a comeback that Kpop fans are interested in at the end of this year. Because IVE is currently the top group of Gen 4 Kpop, the group's music products released during the past 2 years are popular in Korea.

After more than 2 weeks of release, the title track of the album "I've MINE" is making significant strides, marking a successful comeback.

On the evening of October 30, the song " Baddie" surpassed heavyweights such as " Love Lee" of AKMU, " You & Me" of Jennie (BLACKPINK), " Seven" of Jungkook (BTS), to rise to the Top 1 of the real-time charts of Melon, Bugs, Genie and Flo, officially reaching the title of "Real-time All Kill". This is the 5th song in IVE's career to win this title.

Although before, the initial achievement of 6 songs in the album "I've MINE" (including: Off the Record, Baddie, Either Way, Holy Moly, OTT, Payback) made many viewers confused.

Accordingly, IVE's album sales also grew strongly. The album "I've MINE" sold 1.6 million copies in its first week of release on Hanteo.

IVE surpassed BLACKPINK to rise to the Top 3 K-pop g.irl group albums with the highest first-week sales in history, behind only aespa's "MY WORLD" (1.69 million copies) and NewJeans' "Get Up" (1.65 million copies).

With IVE's digital music record in Korea showing that IVE's music is loved by the majority of the public, album sales prove that IVE's fandom is growing.

One person's joy is inadvertently another's worry, BLACKPINK in general and Jennie in particular, with the support of YG Entertainment for many years, have always achieved outstanding achievements.

Letting a "junior" just make a mark with too many categories causes anxiety among BLACKPINK fans. Is BLACKPINK or can it be said that Jennie herself is gradually being "ignored" by YG?

Before that, with the issue of Jennie becoming the "stepchild" of the company. On October 17, YG revealed merchandise that Blink could buy to show support for Jennie's new music, including shirts, pillows, and phone cases.

All products are listed on Weverse for the convenience of fans to pre-order. They come in a variety of prices (the cheapest is $16.72 USD and the most expensive is $104.04), but are generally quite expensive because shipping fees are not included.

Contrary to initial expectations, netizens were not satisfied with the design of the products. Many reviewers just look at it to see that the producer does not put his heart into the "brainchild".

In popular opinion, with the collaboration with Naoko Takeuchi, YG can create many things with products. However, the company wasted that, simply taking the Japanese artist's design and sticking it on the merchandise. Fans are frustrated with You & Me's fame and achievements, Jennie deserves more investment.

Netizens pointed the spearhead at YG:

- Imagine working with the creator of Sailor Moon and this is what you have. YG should go to hell.

- This is a joke, isn't it? We have been waiting for a long time for her and what you offer us are simple goods at sky-high prices. That's unfair. I'm completely disappointed. Fix them, Jennie deserves better.

- The sale of these things shows that YG does not take us seriously. We need more than pasting the cover photo into the product.

- I've been waiting for these half-baked items for over a week? The artwork looks beautiful, but they literally just stick the design on it. This is like a missed opportunity on many levels...
