that's a little fishy to me, but not my circus! i stopped being a blink
forever! we need to stop attacking their professional
relationships because it rubs us the wrong way...
hi welcome my name is angelina and this is an episode of
wack@$$ things i saw on stan twitter and apparently instagram too, so this is
usually a segment that i include in my news show but admittedly
k-pop news has been so dry recently and i thought this topic was interesting
enough to merit its own entire episode so welcome, hope you enjoy
your time here it's basically as the title implies
random weird things that maybe we wish we hadn't seen or things that maybe
make us question the world, and this has to do
with blackpink announcing who they are collabing with
so as we all know by now blackpink have finally announced who they are collabing
with for their next single that is coming out
on august 28th and that person is.... not ariana grande and
it seems that a lot of people are genuinely wholeheartedly
very upset about this, like really pressed about this to the point where
they are unstanning blackpink so in this
instagram post, they have confirmed that it is selena gomez and they've been
teasing us for a while about this with this first instagram post
which featured a question mark which got a lot of people wondering who it is and
then the second post people were speculating that they would
be collabing with so many different people
and perhaps you don't remember so let's do a little bit of a recap but a lot of
people were really convinced that it was going to be ariana grande
and this is because of their previous interactions together
as well as the fact that the question mark looked like a ponytail..
ariana grande also liked jennie's post on instagram
announcing this mysterious collab and i had said originally that i couldn't see
the like and then i got so many dms of people showing me screen
recordings of them going to search for ariana's like and it turns out that if
it's a verified account, you have to be following it to see the
likes that they give, i don't fucking know
my bad I'm sorry! but i digress there are also a lot of people who thought that it
could be g-dragon, Somi, Twice, the possibilities were
truly endless but ultimately this aripink
train was going so strong, however before they
could officially confirm who they were collabing with
there was a leak somewhere down the line and a lot of people found out that it
was selena gomez and during this time there were a lot of
questions and YG even addressed this saying that we should wait for the
collab to find out who it was when asked if
they were collabing with selena gomez which is a little fishy i mean
I mean, first of all... YG releasing a statement addressing anything?
so already for a long time it seems that it's been confirmed i mean because why
else would yg release a statement about Selena gomez? you know why not ariana
grande? why not g-dragon? why just Selena gomez? i think it was to
stir the pot a little to kind of get some hype around that so yeah blackpink
are collabing with selena gomez and honestly i did not think it would
cause this much distress amongst our fandom, and yes i say our
because me too! but alas here we are and i know
that as i'm filming right now we're 7 minutes and 36 seconds into this video
but i should remind you to subscribe like
comment and share this video with friends you don't have
you can also follow me on instagram because i'm starting a rainbow
though apparently i don't know what yellow looks like
all of that will be linked below! so if we look at just the instagram post that
announces this collaboration there are so many selena antis and new
baby blackpink antis there are actually people threatening to
unstan blackpink because of the collab or people
explicitly expressing that they have unstanned blackpink because of this
collab and i thought this was really wild
because as my friend sherry pointed out ever so eloquently,
if you made it through the blackpink drought, you know the lack of content
everything that yg has done and been through and put blackpink through...
and you only decide to unstan because of Selena gomez? i mean that's a
little fishy to me but not my circus but you know what, let's take a look at some
of these comments. "one less follower faced with open mouth
vomiting emoji, five nauseated face emojis and poop
emoji" or is it ice cream? leave down in the
comments below what you think it is. "i stopped being a blink it would have
been better with ariana grande after this collaboration
i stopped being a blink forever" literally me after b.a.p collabed with
secret and i was like.. I'm kidding. me at my 10-year beef with
shindong from super junior. forever! but that level of drama, i mean
it's relatable, when i was six years old
little anecdote, do you know the song hot by Nelly? you know
"it's getting hot in here" anyways there's like this radio edit
where they're like "it's getting cold in here"
and i thought they changed the song and i was so upset
i cried so like i kind of i kind of understand where some of these
people are coming from but also i did not have access to the
internet at that age, forever! i know relatable. though the level of thinking
that there's impending doom? relatable! "we want ari pink person
raising both hands in celebration emoji" "where is ari pink give us aripink"
and there seems to be quite a similar narrative over
on twitter a lot of people saying like this is a disappointment, i'm going to
unstan, and then a lot of people being like "um
bye don't let the door hit you on the way out"
so not only are people saying that they're going to unstan blackpink
but we also have a lot of people demanding an aripink collab despite
that this very post is not about ariana grande it's about
selena gomez, now here's the thing my friends we
should be so lucky blackpink are giving us anything
they could have gone straight back into yg's dungeon after their "how you like
that" performances actually they could have done exactly three how
you like that performances and gone back into the dungeon but they didn't they
like gave us so many music show performances
they give us so much content when it comes to how you like that
how are we complaining? there's also this underlying issue
of making the person they're collabing with feel bad you know this is a post
announcing something very exciting for both of them i presume
and yet some of the top comments are like really incredibly negative
and you know we've seen this before with some western artists who collab with big
names in kpop that they end up receiving a lot of hate
from k-pop fans and they end up getting harassed they end up being accused of
using their idols for clout and these artists
end up feeling really defeated despite the fact that it takes two to
tango... that didn't make sense! despite the fact that you know you kind
of need both artists approval to do a collab right?
i don't think anyone is like twisting blackpink's arm and is like you need to
do this with selena gomez or else! i think they're genuinely
excited, i mean like but of course k-pop fans can come in
hordes with specific sentiments and specific ideas
and make people feel a certain way about something
and I mean, here's the thing you're totally allowed to have your opinion
you're allowed to not like selena gomez that's fair
you're allowed to not vibe with her music you're allowed, even when the song
comes out, to not vibe with it no one is saying that you
have to vibe with it, but like some of these comments get
actually really really dark like i've read some of them that are
kind of light-hearted in my opinion a little bit funny like okay you're gonna
unstan blackpink forever, but some people are bringing like lupus
into this and it gets dark really quickly imagine you're doing
a collab with blackpink and then it's announced and you're so excited
and then you read all the comments and it's like "um what about this artist i
really wish it was this artist instead of you"
and i i actually have another little anecdote we can laugh about it
i had two dreams in specific where I was- we can laugh about this like i don't
care, where i was blackpink's fifth member and in both the dreams i'm
just like looking at them like "are we sure about this like i am not
talented and i feel like you know i stick out" me
being the fat icon that I am, but each and every time they were so
nice and they were like "oh my god no what do you mean"
and like they were pretending to not notice
you know i don't know like those dreams make me laugh so much because I'm like,
YG would never ever but then there's like blackpink who were like so
nice in the dream anyways i thought i would share that with you
digressing okay so it's not ariana grande it doesn't mean that it will
never be ariana grande but at the same time
this level of entitlement is a little concerning to me because
it's this level of entitlement that kind of
ruins k-pop in my opinion you know we need to let idols breathe we need to
stop attacking their professional relationships because
it rubs us the wrong way
but of course this video is not just about the negatives there are a lot of
people who are so excited selpink in your area and i'm happy
that there's a song coming out at all because you know i've been through
a lot of droughts and honestly i think it's just like a really great
opportunity to see a new side of our idols a new
side of maybe artists that we didn't really listen to before
i admittedly don't know selena gomez's discography
at all i know taki taki that's it but we will get to hear blackpink in a way that
maybe we haven't heard them before you know in kiss and makeup
that was such a cute song in sour candy that was like a different
vibe that we've never heard before right so with selena gomez i don't doubt that
they could bring something new to the table something
that otherwise wouldn't have existed because it's a
collab *notebook falls* that notebook was a selena gomez anti,
and the truth is we don't get a lot of collabs in kpop anymore
especially within yg let's let's reminisce a little bit
i think yg's first collab that i can think of
like way back in the day with a western artist was
flo rida and that was the fruit of accused plagiarism so if you didn't know
G-dragon's song heartbreaker was accused of plagiarizing one of flo rida's songs
and it was this huge deal but then they ended up collabing and releasing
a remix of the song but aside from that like when is the last time you guys
saw a collab whether it was a western collab or not
when was it i feel like in second gen there were a lot of collabs but then in
third gen there really weren't that many now and
fourth gen it's even more rare i mean we can think bap and secret,
shine and fx, girls generation and 2 pm, big bang and
2NE1. and i have a little theory and i think it's because
there's so much backlash from fans now because
k-pop is a lot more globalized now there's a lot more eyes on k-pop
and people feel very entitled to their idols so when
there is a collab there is so much potential
for artists to receive backlash honestly maybe the backlash from fans just got a
little bit too much and that's why we don't see it as often anymore but that's
a topic for another video here's a little concept thumbnail i hope you're
excited yes there is a circle
we'll get into that when we get into that it's fine but alas that is
basically it for this video let me know what you think of this collab between
selena gomez and blackpink what are your expectations what are your predictions
do you think we're gonna get a music video
do you think it's gonna be a sour candy type of situation where it's just
audio! let me know don't forget to subscribe like comment and share this
