With two “Queens of Kpop”, Girls’ Generation and BLACKPINK, possibly having overlapping comebacks this August, many fans wonder if an intense competition between two powerful girl groups are about to happen. Will a “war” erupt between their fandoms, BLINKs and SONEs?

Some netizens left comments:

BLACKPINK will eat. Why does SM deliberately want their girl groups to go up against BLACKPINK? From aespa to Girls’ Generation.
Girls’ Generation will return on August 8 because there are 8 members. There is nothing to do with BLACKPINK’s anniversary.
August is going to be intense.
Comebacks from 2nd gen No.1 girl group and 3th gen No.1 girl group in the same month? Insane.

Meanwhile, SNSD is currently broadcasting their own TV show called Soshi Tamtam, paving the way for a full album this August. Meanwhile, the girls of YG Entertainment are currently in the final stages of recording their new album. Notably, according to the announcement from YG, BLACKPINK will prepare for a large-scale tour, even the largest in the history of K-Pop girl groups ever. This is an effort to “expand the connection between BLACKPINK and fans around the world”.
