"Quality over quantity" is the biggest lie blinks were made to believe. It's constantly the same formula, same concept, same predictable line distribution throughout the song, etc. There's no innovation and increase in quality that would justify such long hiatuses

[Noirdollxbutera]

Blackpink have an amazing amount of potential but I really wished that YG would let the girls show there skills more or even let them produce music. I also think the 2 year hiatus affected them a lot but I’m glad the album was still successful but I do hope that in the future the girls can show there great amount of potential…

I was at their born pink concert, and really enjoyed it. But I can't see myself going to another BP concert, because I would feel like it would just be the same concert. Because their discography is so small, they go through most of their songs in a single concert. So I would be afraid that going to another one of their concerts, would just feel like the same thing, with maybe one or two different songs.
I would not have the same fear with a group that has a much larger discography, since they would probably play their biggest 5 songs in most concerts, but then the rest could change with each concert. This would entice me to go see their concerts more than once.

i feel the hiatus really hurt their reputation..2 years for a kinda mid album

[Mar-kccv]

they deserved and still deserve better, yg's way of "promoting" their artists is very questionable.

[Oohkamitama]

Mamamoo does quality over quantity as well but they, at least, enjoy giving their fans a good concert and performance. BP has soured for me and I was a big fan of theirs when they first debut. The image YG gave BP can only go so far before backlash begins towards the group.

[bluewolf]

When they debuted, they immediately skyrocketed into fame. They won awards within months compared to groups who had been around for years. Their concept was dark/girl crush, and their first comeback showed their pink/cutesy side. But over the years, they are given less and less work compared to any group in the industry. Some blinks will say "I'd rather them take time to rest and put out quality music, than be overworked putting out mediocre songs like your favs".... Yes, they are not overworked and that's a good thing. But they don't seem to really try either.. YG is who I'm talking about. They've gotten so used to milking the fans for money, that they know no matter what BP puts out, they're gonna spend their life's savings to support them. That's brainwashing and gaslighting. They made blinks be so used to the idea, that they don't have any expectations. Music taste is an opinion, and some people do like their recent songs. But most have realized it's just another lazy move by YG to make money. You get less songs with the same formula, easy/little choreography, barely any promotion, maybe a tour out of nowhere, and it's back to modeling and going to fashion shows. They've stopped caring about the idol life and that is clear. They all just want the tour to be done with. But *some* blinks will try to hold onto them forever, ignoring the truth in front of them. Degrading other groups to boost BP. That's just cowardly and ignorant.

For a group that has been together for 6-7 years, barley has any songs, yet still manage to become the biggest kpop girl group in the world is the most fascinating thing to me. The first group that dragged me into kpop lol bc they didn’t have a lot of songs I felt like I would be able to know who they were easily

[LEMON-bvvx]

They're just like a Social Media INFLUENCER right now instead of being an artist. 😥
the girls are musically talented but why yg just wasting

[karinasnooodles_]

Some of y'all don't understand the point of the video and it shows💀

[candacebrown]

Blackpink had a comeback a few months ago & just finished their world tour. Jisoo is having a solo & they hinted at releasing a new song too. I don’t think Blackpink is done or reached their full potential. Idk for sure but it seems they might renew their contracts & keep going. They have so much more to show us & I’m proud of them. Yg is the blame for all of their hiatus’s.

[fannyalexander]

Its kinda sad, all those years and they only have few songs. I mean YG is known for releasing only quality music but other companies can release more songs with full albums but still high quality too. I don’t think this “exclusiveness” that they are trying to do is not working anymore. They need to fully maximized them.

[proudblink]

The fact that despite of having so less songs they're still at the top of the world. They're truely the revolution 👑

[gibby]

“quality over quantity” yet MOST of they’re songs aren’t good quality whatsoever and the born pink album is a perfect example.

[e.deborah]

Not a blink, but I don't even consider BP as artists or idols... They remind me of Bella Porche. An influencer that occasionally makes music. As for YG following the Western method for releasing music... that's bullshit. Western artists do have long breaks between album releases, but every album is an actual album (12+ songs), not a mini ep to be passed off as an album.

People are forgetting why or how they got enamored with Blackpink. For me, the songs were Boombayah and DDD. Oh and Lisa's professional dancing was an attribute to how hardworking they were. Everything after that is just sad... Don't even get me started on concert fancams... Jeez

[pieceofcake]

If they Renew the contract this time I want them to have control over the activities at least a little bit so that they can release more songs and have some power in their hands as they are no more rookies

[Aeri_blossam]

Jisoo solo is release on 31 March I'm very happy and excited for her solo songs I really want to hear her pretty voice and also want her beautiful, elegant visual 😍😘💜🎶💖

[moongirl]

Does anyone also get the feeling that YG has no idea what they're doing or doesn't care? Like idol groups are normally planned very thouroughly or at least for the pre-debut phase and a few years after. That also seemed to be the case for BP but these days? I have not once seen a group with so little songs but still so many leaks or demos that never got used. The second "full" album only had 8 songs, with one of them being a game collab promo and a few others leaked beforehand. Also their concept is not really that diverse, they stick to making callbacks to old songs which is nice for fans but with so little comebacks they can never fully explore their two sides. Plus YG doesn't seem to listen at all to the massive fandom.
I mean they'll probably be fine but I'm actually more worried for BaeMon and Blacklabel (solo) artists like SOMI. They have a banger debut, everyone loves that they get this massive attention for about a year, and then? Nothing. I'm not sure about what BP will do, but I really hope SOMI will have a comeback this year. Because these two developments will really show how YG values their artists and how the artists want to be treated. And I'm not hopeful since Jisoo solo, new gg debut with probably one comeback and BP contract discussion are more than YG does in like three years🤣

[bubbles]

Honestly at this point I’m at the acceptance phase. I loved them at debut, little by little the hype died down. Now they’re just artists that exist that can maybe appear once a year or two to make an ear worm that lasts about a week. Then I forget about them.

[sumanamasat]

As a blink since their debut era I was an hardcore blink, streamed their songs multiple times and also recommend my non K-pop friends their songs too. But ever since they started engaging in the brand ambassador stuff like going to parties, attending events and stuff I kinda felt like they became more of a model/ Instagram influencer. When YG announced their comeback I was beyond excited like imagine waiting for 2 years for a comeback. But when they released their album I was kind of disappointed, but still listened to their songs thinking I was weird but these songs never worked for me plus they barely had any comeback schedule. Barely having 2-3 performances in Inkigayo and nothing else. The only thing they are invested is the ambassador stuff, also I attended their concert and it wasn't worth for the money. My mom shouted at me saying this the concert you wanted to see for more than 3 years? Pure wastage of the money.

Hoping whenever they comeback [God knows when that will happen] they come out with more songs. Cus waiting for 2 years just for 6-7 songs is nothing but disappointment. [Also, For those punks who are going comment something unnecessary then please keep in mind that this is what I feel and not you! So, no idiot needs to comment something which might cause fanwars between the blinks.]
