On August 19, Blackpink returned to the music scene with the MV " Pink Venom". The new song has helped YG Entertainment's girl group achieve many remarkable achievements and create a worldwide boom. However, Pink Venom still has 3 unfortunate minus points. Even this new song is entangled in controversy surrounding Rihanna's hit.

Simple choreography

If you are a fan of the group Blackpink, the audience must be very familiar with the eye-catching dance performances in the MVs released before "Pink Venom". MV BOOMBAYAH released in 2016 - right after the group's debut, showed the skillful dancing ability of 4 YG beauties.

MV "BOOMBAYAH" is impressive with beautiful, professional and methodical choreography. Up to now, BOOMBAYAH has reached 1.4 billion views. In later MVs, choreography is considered a strength of Blackpink. In turn, MVs with billions of views like "Kill this Love" or "How you like that" show how the group Blackpink has displayed their beautiful choreography.

However, "Pink Venom" lacks the "melancholy" performances like professional dancers of 4 Blackpink members. The choreography in "Pink Venom" is simple, no longer showing skills like the "party" of performances the audience has seen in "BOOMBAYAH", "How you like that", "Kill this love"...

cumbersome script

After 2 years of silence, under a lot of public pressure when there is no joint music product, Blackpink has spent a lot of effort, investment and expectation on "Pink Venom".

The MV is invested with spectacular and beautiful effects with a lot of "concepts" (ideas) interwoven. But also because of the "excessive" investment with a lot of ideas put in, the "Pink Venom" script became cumbersome and cumbersome.

The ideas of "pink" and "venom" are diluted when many scenes do not fit together.

Not new enough

The arrangement and scripting of "Pink Venom" still follows the same old formula as the previously released MV series such as "How you like that", "Kill this love". Even the ending scene of "Pink Venom" also mentions the arrangement for the 4 members to stand in the ending dance like "How you like that" and "Kill this love".

The scene layout and camera angles are familiar, reminiscent of old MVs. The appearance of the 4 members is always "arranged in battle" with many techniques, images, and colors. But this, YG has been doing for Blackpink for a long time, and has not shown any change or breakthrough in "Pink Venom".

In addition to the three unfortunate minus points above, YG's new MV "pet chicken" is also facing mixed opinions on the issue of using Rihanna's song mix.

According to Republicworld, fans have found the similarities of Pink Venom with a song released nearly 2 decades ago. Specifically, many people think that Blackpink's song uses a new remix of the song Pon De Replay, a product of Rihanna.

Pink Venom reuses a melody from the song Pon De Replay through a new mix, but still has similarities with the original. The "one by one, two by two" lines and beat are both reminiscent of the vocalist's 2005 debut single "Diamonds".

It is known that Lisa's singing uses lyrics and melody from Rihanna's song. Blackpink fans think that this is the group's way of honoring their seniors. However, this also caused some minor controversies, raising suspicions of plagiarism related to Pink Venom.

This method has been used by many artists, but still causes mixed opinions in the world music community. The line between glorifying and "stealing brains" is very thin. Therefore, many musicians have limited the use of this technique in their productions.

Coming back after nearly 2 years of absence, Blackpink has created a fever on global digital music platforms. Republicworld commented, "Among all the K-pop groups, Blackpink is considered one of the most popular Korean girl groups. The girls have captivated fans with their unique songs."
