Making comeback after 2 years yet BLACKPINK is still dragged into controversies over album ‘Born Pink’
BLACKPINK has just released their 2nd full-album but controversies broke out unexpectedly
Recently, BLACKPINK continued to promote the album BORN PINK and released the MV for the title song called Shut Down. In addition to the compliments from the audience, many controversies broke out, causing a stir on social networks.
Ever since YG announced the thumbnail, it has sparked controversy. The photo chosen by the company attracts attention as Jennie takes the spotlight. Rosé and Lisa peeked behind her and Jisoo didn’t even appear in the frame. This immediately angered the audience, and fans demanded that YG treat the members fairly.
While in Pink Venom, Jisoo was considered the most prominent member, but in Shut Down, she did not have the opportunity to express herself. Many viewers think that Jisoo suffers from injustice since she has less screen time and less singing line than other members. Accordingly, Jisoo only has 21.1 seconds to sing. Meanwhile, Jennie leads with 53.2 seconds, Lisa – Rosé with 34 and 28.1 seconds, respectively. In addition, Jisoo’s image is also not pleasing to the audience. Fans think that everything from the outfit to the makeup is not suitable for this female idol.
Besides, the public has high expectations for this comeback. However, many viewers commented that Shut Down did not leave a deep impression like previous songs. According to YG, this is BLACKPINK’s MV with the biggest investment budget. However, the scenes are not as spectacular as fans imagined. Besides, the melody is also said to be not catchy.
BORN PINK includes 8 songs, the number is said to be meager compared to the albums of many other K-pop groups. Next, the audience continued to stir up at the information about the only solo song in the album BORN PINK. Rosé is the owner of the song Hard To Love. This helped Rosé become the most prominent member after the album was released. Worth mentioning, before that, YG did not announce Rosé’s solo song. Even the company’s announced track list made fans think that this was a joint song of 4 BLACKPINK girls.
In addition, fans think that Jisoo is the member who needs a solo song the most. With the current situation, Jisoo will be the only member who has to sing cover songs on the upcoming tour, while the other 3 members all have their hit solo songs.
