Rosé caused controversy because of inadvertent internal division, Blackpink forced to disband?

The super hit APT. and the debut full album have brought Rosé countless records and unprecedented achievements. Combined with Bruno Mars, APT. immediately became a global phenomenon, bringing Rosé straight to the top #8 of the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week of release.

Recently, APT. simultaneously reached 1 billion plays on both YouTube and Spotify. Accordingly, Rosé officially broke the record for Gangnam Style's fastest Kpop MV to reach 1 billion views after 12 years and the fastest song to reach 1 billion streams by a Korean artist after Jung Kook - Seven.

It can be said that Rosé owns the most outstanding solo achievement in BLACKPINK. In the coming time, Jisoo, Lisa and Jennie will continuously release E.P/albums. In the midst of fans being excited by the "music storm" from idols, especially when YG just released a teaser revealing BLACKPINK's 2025 World Tour, a part of extreme fans "started a war" that made people angry.

On the Twitter platform, the hashtag "BLACKPINKdisband" (BLACKPINK disbanded) collected 17 thousand posts. Negative kick wars were pointed out to come from accounts that only followed Rosé. A series of accounts with a large number of followers continuously posted disparaging and degrading the remaining 3 pieces of BLACKPINK's talent. Besides, he also denied the group's influence, and said that BLACKPINK would forever be "under Rosé's shadow".

One post even garnered 2.2 million views with the content: "BLACKPINK has been trying for 8 years to enter the Western market but has failed again and again. Roseanne really did it when she didn't have to carry the incompetent kids in the group. That's why BLINK turned his back on her. She's outclassed the group and has been outpacing the group for a long time and they hate to see it."

This move of the extreme fan section only watched Rosé provoke BLINK. BLACKPINK fans strongly condemn the act of internal division, affecting members of this extreme fan section. BLACKPINK is famous for the members' personal fandom with deep divisions. During comebacks, fan-only even affected the group's general activities. At a time when all 4 members are focusing on personal activities, this problem is even more stressful.

Not long before, BLACKPINK made the fan community explode when they suddenly announced a teaser announcing a world tour in 2025. This information quickly became the focus of discussion on social networks, not only because of the eagerness of fans but also because of the controversy surrounding YG Entertainment.

As the world's leading girl group, any activity of BLACKPINK attracts great interest. Fans were happy that the group had a shared schedule, but besides, many expressed confusion and disappointment. The reason is because BLACKPINK announced the tour without information about the new album, especially when the group did not release many songs during their time under YG.

This raises suspicions that YG is taking advantage of the group's reputation to make up for the deteriorating financial situation. In early 2024, there were reports that YG Entertainment was facing serious financial difficulties. Statistics show a significant decline compared to previous years:

. Revenue in 2024 (estimated): KRW 3,628 billion

. Operating profit: -239 billion KRW

. Net Profit: -5 billion KRW

. Operating margin: -6.58%

. Net profit margin: -0.14%

These numbers make many people believe that YG is accelerating BLACKPINK's tour plan to make up for losses, especially since the previous BORN PINK world tour has brought in huge revenue.

BLACKPINK's reunion on stage is always expected, but this comeback brings many questions. Does YG really want the group to work together for the sake of music, or is it simply a commercial strategy to save the financial situation?

Many fans also questioned the rights of the members when only the tour was announced, without information about the album or other musical activities. This further strengthens speculation that BLACKPINK is being used as a "gold mine" to revive the company.

Rosé overwhelmingly defeated Jennie, receiving lots of compliments for skillfully promoting Korea Đình Như16:59:06 19/10/2024After Lisa and Jennie, Rosé also surprised everyone with the unannounced release of the song APT. featuring pop star Bruno Mars. Blackpink fans are excited as the members continuously release new music products.
