how are you going to bring girls into your company and then make them train
for years, leave their families, just so that they can not have comebacks?
Hi, welcome! a comment I see a lot about BLACKPINK is that they have become
models instead of k-pop stars and as much as I hate to admit that, there is
definitely some truth to it. there is no denying that we see more fashion grade
photos and ads then we see comebacks and frankly a bit fed up! BRB! suing YG
entertainment, but seriously YG Entertainment is going
to be the downfall of BLACKPINK and in today's video I really want to talk
about that, actually I'm gonna stop you right there to remind you to subscribe
to this channel click the bell to be notified, and you can also do little
things here and there to help sustain this channel like asking me why I
pronounce the Rosé they like thatÉ or sharing my videos with people that you
can hate them with, also anytime I like to talk about BLACKPINK in a video
BLONKs like to come and fat shame me so, let's troll them in the comments, if you
see a hate comment, why don't you ask them why they pronounce Rosé like
thatÉ first of all I just want to mention YG's initial intentions with blackpink,
from the start why he wanted to create a pretty 2ne1 and for those of you who don't
know, YG was so vocal about how ugly he thought 2ne1 is and in contrast he's
never called blackpink ugly, and he's always really centered their beauty
which obviously is not blackpink's fault, YG is just a creep but we won't
get into it right now, but also how are you going to bring girls into your
company and center their beauty and then make them train for years, leave their
families, just so that they can not have comebacks? I mean this man even went as
far as to put an emphasis on the name blackpink, that beauty isn't everything
and yet we continue to get barely 1 comeback per year, but that wasn't the
point of this video, let's talk about how yg is making blackpink turn into models
rather than k-pop stars, so our first topic of interest is of course their
lack of comebacks, in their debut year 2016 they released
boombayah, playing with fire, whistle and stay, so we got four music videos within
the span of one year then from 2017 and on they have had one comeback per year
that to me is not a lot of opportunity for artistic expression though they have
gone on tour which I don't know why, maybe just to sing the same songs over
and over again, and that's not shade at blackpink, Jennie herself has said in a
fan cam that she would sing more songs if she
had any
so of course, it's no surprise if you're not having regular comebacks then what
are you going to do with your time? you're gonna post a lot of pictures
because that's literally the only way you can really connect with anyone which
brings us to our next topic, we don't get to enjoy their personalities compared to
other groups. I find blackpink really closed off in a way, and that could a
hundred percent be because yg is a terrible company people want to distance
themselves from YG entertainment, I don't blame them, blackpink don't go on
variety shows anymore, their last comeback literally had three
performances for kill this love and two performances for don't know what to do,
we do get to see what blackpink posts on YouTube, but to me that's like the
cutoff, that's it we don't get to see them on variety shows, we don't get to
see them interacting with various different hosts in Korea and of course
we've seen them in some shows abroad but those shows don't compare to the
eccentricity and the innovation that Korean TV shows have, I just find that
I'm always seeing them promote something like either Chanel or Kia or Samsung and
there's nothing inherently wrong with that, but if that's all you're doing and
you're not making music that's when it kind of backfires, I mean not that
there's anything wrong with candy crush but like they could have made a song to
go with it, I don't know anyone remember lollipop? lollipop part two? I mean make
something out of it at least, back to topic we should expect a certain focus
on fashion from blackpink especially because they are from YG Entertainment,
and because they are idols, from the beginning CL and GD have been such
fashion-forward people within the kpop industry it's just kind of his yg thing
you kind of associate yg with just like this high, eccentric, innovative, sense of
fashion I remember CL being friends of Jeremy
Scott and Alexander Wang and when she left the company the even praised her
for leading various trends in music and fashion and they said that with their
whole chest! but during her career she also released a lot of music excluding
the last three years, I'm 100% certain more than ever that they would love to
have more comebacks, that they would love to release more music for their fans
because as I alluded to at the beginning of this video, there's no way that they
spent that many years training, being humiliated to not do what they've always
dreamed of, it makes no sense! and I kind of understand a little bit why yg does
this, because blackpink is really the only thing keeping their heads above
water, 2ne1 is gone, Big Bang is... so to me it doesn't really surprise me that they are
pushing all these sponsorships because it's easy money, it's a very easy way
that requires the least amount of effort to bring in revenue. if you think about
the money it takes to prepare come back, I mean the training, the songwriters, the
choreographers, the time, energy and then there's not even a guarantee that it
won't flop. I mean blackpink is blackpink I don't think I would ever flop but,
that is a potential downfall if the comeback flops and yg is over, right? so
it's a risk to have more comebacks than they already do, so is it an issue that
blackpink are models? no. is it an issue that blackpink are more models than they
are k-pop stars? absolutely and I used to hate when people said this because I
thought they were just like objectifying blackpink or just saying that blackpink
only have looks, and if you have that as an opinion, whatever I don't
agree with that, I do think they are talented but YG is holding them
back, that's what my entire eight scandal was based on but go off! there just needs
to be more balance, there needs to be more connection with their fans, because
right now they are being held back! and let's, let's bring music shows into this
if we look at their debut stages, boombayah, whistle, playing with fire they change things
up constantly, and then in ddu-du ddu-du, they change things even less and then
kill this love, they are almost never straying away from the very set
choreography that they have, so you can bring up Coachella, you can bring up
their touring, you can bring up all that stuff but I don't even need to look into
that to know that they are amazing performers, we can just look at their
debut stages to see that they used to have that innovation, they used to have
the ability to change things up and make each performance feel different than the
next but as yg kept getting into hot water we
see blackpink becoming more stagnant and yes this pertains exclusively to
music shows, but you cannot forget that music shows
are still shows that are done in front of fans who bring light sticks and learn
fan chants and come to support their faves and yes of course this is
something that many k-pop idols do and there is nothing inherently wrong with
it, but when blackpink has shown this yg style from their debut and has slowly
veered away from it, it does make me question things, it makes me question why
the whole model thing obviously does not have a very positive connotation, because
if you're focusing more on modeling rather than making music from your fans
point of view it doesn't really make the most sense, but that's exactly the image
that yg is creating for blackpink and it's an image that people are starting
to resent, both from fans and people who don't even know blackpink so back to
the main question, is it an issue for black pink if there are more models than
k-pop stars? yes absolutely! because their company is holding them back, a very
terrible company a company called
so I asked you guys on my community tab what you guys thought of this subject so
let's see some of the top comments ''I personally agree what YG is doing is
making them look like models really wish they'd release more music'' ''I feel like it
may be true to some extent since yg mostly promotes them through photos and
photoshoots rather than music though I also think
that people fail to realize it's not BlackPink's fault'' ''I mean with their
schedule and a comeback out of sight, no wonder they're focusing on modeling no
shade tbp but yes shade to yg'' yes, lots of shade to YG, ''if they spend 95% of
their time modeling and just 5 percent working on their music or performing yes
there are more models than idols but it's definitely not their fault'' so I
think a lot of us can kind of come to the consensus that it's not blackPink's
fault, that indeed it is yg pushing this model narrative on to blackpink because
they are conventionally beautiful, I don't know about you but that sounds a bit
misogynistic, coming from a company like so notorious or holding back their female
artists, for having them disappear for a year or years at a time, wouldn't put it
past the man... he's gone.... yet nothing has changed! anyways guys thank you so

what do you think of this and why do you think yg is doing this you think it's
cuz they're under hot water or because they remain an inherently misogynistic
company I don't know I don't want to start any rumors allegedly bye
