I’m a huge blink! But I will say that something felt very odd this comeback. It seemed as if the girls weren’t really excited to Actually be back after so long.. the lack of energy started from the promotions, and you could feel some strange tension in the air. This makes me so extremely sad! But this is what happens when a group is not having consistent comebacks, they eventually grow apart and developing other internets other than music and preforming.

i’ve been a blackpink fan long before rosé turned blonde, and to me is clear that their energy is just different. i don’t know how to explain it, but it seems like they got bored of the group (and i personally think it was due to their many hiatus), as yg constantly lacked in giving them group promotions they found something else that could fulfill their passions and also give them more freedom

[R_elschen_d]

to be honest I think YG might just disband the group themselves because as far as I remember they have an upcoming girl group in which in their words they said "it's like having 10 Jennies" I'm not a blink I just read the article about it and I remembered how 2ne1 disbanded

I’m not a BP stan but I casually listen to them since I listen to kpop. My only problem with them underperforming is they are dubbed as the “biggest girl group in the world” so naturally people expect them to have a level of professionalism and a higher level of performance compared to these other groups. Although I know some problems are rooted from the company and management but I just wished they somehow have the initiative to do better on their own.

As a blink since 2016, it’s is so sad seeing things like this happen to the girls I’ve loved and supported the most and the fact that they are about to end like this is SAD

[sarari]

I am a blink for 6 years now, and it would be hard for any blink to accept the disbandment of blackpink, but as my opinion if the girls wants to disband, or its hard for them to perform as a group its okay. If they are more happy with solo promotions we should support them no matter what.

[maximilianocisneros]

I think that the disbandment might happen, mostly because all the groups that are older than 7 years have the tendency of not having a lot to comebacks and focus more on solos. Black pink Has this path even before the 7 years, making even harder to see a future with them plus many people are leaving YG; so their future is kinda complicated. Even if they leave and change agency the probability of having a comeback as a group is hard (most group that are in this situation only have one special presentation and that’s it).

[a_gilanii]

Just because you have a fight with a member doesn’t mean you should underperform and make the rest of the group look bad. Professional and personal relationships should be dealt with separately.

don’t blame them for disbanding, half their “fans” are solo-stans☠️

[yuhnuh]

yk as someone who stanned bp during the first few years since their debut, its kinda sad to see how their career AS A GROUP progressed. after the inconsistent comebacks i was starting to see the girls as separate influencers rather than girl group members/idols, and eventually i started losing interest in their projects. it didnt help that a good portion of the fandom were solo stans and constantly hating on other members. i still love the girls and hopefully all of this blows over.

[uriel]

I’m not a hardcore Blink, but I do like them, and it’s just a shame how YG has mismanaged their (And Somi’s) release/comeback schedules. I hope that whatever happens, that it’s what the girls, themselves want.

I have been a blink since debut, i have never, ever loved any group as much as i loved blackpink. THEY were what got me into kpop in the first place. So yeah, i have seen it all, i have witnessed every comeback, i have witnessed every teaser, i have witnessed every controversy. I have seen all of their vlives (remember when that was a thing?) since 2016/2017. I was A DEVOTED blink for the period of 2016-2018. Like i was legit obsessed back then.

For me at least, something has shifted in blackpink in 2019 after their comeback with “LET’S KILL THIS LOVE” i was still very obviously excited for that, but since then; something has changed. And i can’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe because they become mainstream? Maybe because every member started focusing more in her solo activities? I don’t know. Since then, their main titles became unlistenable to me. I would literally get so excited and attend the comeback premier only to be extremely disappointed by the end of it. Suddenly, everyone’s focus was how much the MV costed ? How many views can we get on the release day? How many groups are we going to surpass in the the release day views? How are we going to diss the “haters” in our music lyrics?

They lost their touch, i still follow them and watch their news from time to time, but i feel i lost my passion for them completely right know. Its so weird, its like looking at someone you have always loved and not recognize them. You begin to question yourself “did i actually like this group THAT MUCH?” It feels so odd and foreign to me.

I cannot recognize my love or passion for them anymore, let alone the members, the group, the songs… it lost all meaning to me now. And its incredibly sad.

As a blink/big fan of them since pre-debut, I attended BOTH their world tours in Hamilton back in 2019 and now the most recent one this November 2022. I think those clips that other people have spread on the internet look pretty bad but when I went to their concert just a few days ago, I found all the members working very hard, dancing a lot, and especially I was surprised by Jennie's energy, you could literally hear her yelling into her mic each time when rapping or singing, and hyping the crowd (I even have many clips of the concert that showcase this). I felt like each of the members were all still on good terms since in the encores where they casually sing their B-side songs in their concert merch and without a dance routine, there was so much interaction between Rose/Lisa and Jisoo/Jennie. They were hugging, making hearts, dancing together, and even hyping each other up to twerk etc. Even in the beginning, Jennie almost injured her ankle but she sat down for a few seconds to re-tie her boots and Lisa and Rose both checked up on her during it. As well, in the VIP send-off, fans were telling Jisoo how excited they are for her solo song and she responded saying she's really excited and can't wait for it too. I don't think that Blackpink will disband as it seems like they do want to stay together as a group, but I think they are tired of their old songs and want more musical freedom for sure.

blackpink not liking each other is the biggest joke ever

[ryujinswig]

people saying "they're the sole moneymakers for yg" is so stupid. bigbang and 2NE1 were the main moneymakers for yg before blackpink debuted, and look what happened to 2NE1? they disbanded to debuted blackpink. y'all can't be this ignorant to see that yg doesn't care, and knows his new gg will still give him success? they're not even close to being the richest company anyway. also, its clear the girls prefer solo activities. remember, its not always the company's decision.

[samlay.x]

I been a blink since pre kill this love and i got tbh their music doesnt show any artistic growth which made me less exited for new music by them i really think it might be the best for them to just end their contract and do their own thing i can see rose still do misic but for the others im not sure but im still hoping for a jisoo solo song.

[naemaharmy]

i don't think they will officially disband, however i do believe that after tour they will go on another long hiatus like before and focus on their solo projects more seriously. instead of them releasing a couple songs each, i believe they will release full albums and maybe go on tour individually. blackpink are the second biggest kpop group and them announcing their disbandment seems unlikely, especially considering that they are not overworked or burnt out at all. that being said, whatever happens i'll support them 100% <3

[Lights_Darks]

Saw them in L.A. on 11/19/22. Blackpink and Blinks were in sync. Everyone was jumping and had a monster great time. Rose’ even said she never heard an audience so loud. They looked like they were having a lot of fun. If they disband, it’ll be because it’s time for something new; not because they don’t get along.

[umaaravind]

If you are a real blink who is not blinded by fandom you will already realise going solo is best for all of them

[moonie]

See, I don't actually think they would disband. Like whatever the media says, the girls themselves have never indicated anything towards disbandment. However, if they do decide to go solo, it's literally out of our control. So, we should just support them and their decisions.
