  • Did Jennie really release a new song or is it AI? There doesn’t seem to be any info about it.

    parent

    It’s not hers, there’s been this thing happening where ppl hack and upload ai or whatever, but this might have been a human error potentially. Dk if this other Jennie is real 😭 crazy thing to say 😭

    parent root

    If none of her official accounts or any reputable sources mentioned this supposedly new song, it's highly likely to be just AI.

    parent root

    I see. That’s a petty big oversight on Apple’s part. (Not sure about other services.)

  • Baemon and Meovv both had excellent stages today. Plus leeseo, kyujin and eunchae covered pretty savage.

  • I just want to say for those who don’t celebrate Christmas or aren’t having a good one, for whatever reason, I see you. The fomo, the blues. At least winter is closer to being over and the festivity will only last a week. Sending hugs to everyone!! 

    Also since you’re here you must be a blink, so you at least have the tour resuming and comeback to look forward to!! I always find January weird, and it takes me time usually to find my bearings and settling into the new year 😂 maybe it’s all the reflecting and emotions that take a toll

    Thanks for this comment!

  • Black hair Lisa is back what a great Christmas gift

    parent

    I feel like I’m being gaslighted it kind of looks brown 

    parent root

    I think it might be a dark brown that looks darker or lighter depending on the lighting.

    Edit: In the video that was posted on LLOUD IG, it definitely looked more brownish. Her recent blonde hair also was very warm and that warmth is still present in her new colour. Red tones are really hard to get rid of unless you remove the pigment, so it makes sense that it can still be seen. I think it's a very dark warm brown

  • Guys this is a random question but do you guys know who in each girl’s teams or partners organises and shows them events to choose from to perform 

    I know lisa singed with wasserman music for tour, but what about before? I know for Jennie it’s Jeremy and just based on what she wants. What about the others?

  • I knew Kai received medical treatment long before he passed but I forgot kuku also had to get surgery for luxating patella likely because he’s a pom. Just hearing about her donations reminded me he got depressed and got better by going to play dates and Jennie would often bring him to work too, mama Kim and Jennie also had a really hard time. I hope kuku lives a long life without struggle. 

    I’ve always really liked how Jennie often goes to animal shelters even during touring to spend time and donates consistently over the years. She was born to be a pet mom, I know she stayed for much longer on the cat interview and the kitten fell asleep on her so Jennie stayed lying down to not disturb 😭😭

    All 4 are great pet moms, between them they could start a pet shop 😂

    A devoted Blink who fights for Rose's Grammy recognition by day and battles the existential horror of unsewn bra pads and sleep deprivation by night. Okay that has me laughing.

    The Great Nap

    You will finally achieve your dream of laying in bed for 10 hours, but you will spend 9 of them writing a Reddit dissertation on why Lisa’s new mentor role is the best thing since sliced bread. Only 10 hours? pfft.

  • I've never had any desire to visit Thailand and I've certainly known a lot of people who have gone. However, I've become a massive BP fan in the last year and now I want to go because that's where Lisa's from. I'm sure there's an enriching cultural experience to be discovered beyond the usual tourist destinations and party ventures a lot go for.

    I've actually started searching stuff up like "Places Lisa would recommend in Thailand" lol.

    parent

    She’s doing a video to promote it so just wait a little maybe she’ll add something that’s not as common between tourists!! I’m not really attached to it because of Lisa, but because some of their most heart full moments we know between them happened there. It’s not in my places to visit since the weather and food doesn't suit me 😓 but it holds a special place in my heart. 

    jenlisa who visited together, the pinks because they had a very meaningful conversation there about their hopes and dreams whilst filming bp house, they were super excited for the future. Jennie and rosé’s speeches when on tour still get me 🥹 it’s clear that they themselves remember those moments when they go there, jenlisa are always extra wild and clingy 😭 

    I learnt that some Jennie’s fan base there rallied to help pay for someone’s medical expenses? Lisa fans helped out donating for natural disaster ❤️ so sweet

  • Happy OA anniversary, so proud of Jennie for going independent ❤️ we would have never gotten to see new sides of Jennie as an artist and her artistic performances. My fav 🐠 iykyk

  • I couldn’t sleep yesterday and YouTube recommended a Jennie interview and then I went and clicked another, and another…all that to say I forgot how extremely funny and hilarious she is, she’s reallyyy great at interviews!!

    They were all so enjoyable. she does not appear anxious at all if she actually is allowed to talk since yk in the beginning she couldn’t even give us spoilers. There were obviously some moments when she got a little shy but it was really really endearing, and then it would go away when she talked about her work. 

    It’s like when I have to give presentations, nervous all night before and then completely fine when I actually do it 😂

    parent

    Totally agree! I just said to someone else: I love that our girls are so natural, not overacting or trying to be fake. They are honest. And knowing that Jennie does not enjoy interviews too much or spicy food and still doing hot ones, it's just a role model for everybody to overcome own fears and just do it. I mean, the MMA show 2 days ago, just woow.

  • I'm officially unstanning Nicki Minaj. bye!

    parent

    Took you so long but congratulations

    parent root

    She has bangers and used to dominate the scene, but she’s doing crazy behaviours. I don’t think people will stop listening to her old music, i mean she has had sounds trending on tik tok the whole year, but a lot of people will not support future projects even if it’s good. 

    parent root

    There's news that she will have a song about Charlie Kirk in her new album. Yuck

    parent root

    Aha. And why? Anything to do with BP?

    she’s full on MAGA and appeared with Erika Kirk

  • ahhhh seeing all the love for Jennie’s performance after the way she was getting dragged on literally every form of social media for existing make me so happpyyy!!! it’s a good note to end the year on…

    and hopefully the note will drag on into the new year with an announcement of bp’s newest comeback! the one major thing i’m hoping for is at least one track that Zedd helped produced pls pls pls i’ve literally been wishing for that for years😭

    parent

    Genuinely every time Jennie does something and she gets praised these people crawl out of their gc to dog pile. It’s funny because she’s been so good and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so people don’t take it too seriously, but it’s annoying to see tabloid articles for engagement 

    parent root

    It gets so much praise and the melon video has 8.5M views and is already top 10 all time, just after 2 days! This was amazing.

  • Seems like Jeannie's mma performance had a huge impact for a lot of Koreans. Here are some of the comments i read today under a post about one of her outfits, obviously not 100% correctly translated:

    -

    Honestly, Jennie unnie, I remember back in the day when she got hate just for breathing, and she was so stressed out that she said stuff like "I dropped my phone in water and just wanna hide?" like that, it was that tough for her. And because of Dispatch, she had no privacy, and even when the media and haters had nothing left to nitpick, she was still spinning her wheels like that. But even after becoming a global star, the way she keeps steadily boosting up Korea is just amazing.

    -

    Yeah… You really looked like you were going through a lot back then, but the fact that you endured all of that and still keep looking out for Korea and staying active to this day is honestly admirable. It's not an easy position to be in, yet holding on until the end like that is truly impressive.

    -

    Yeah... enduring that tough period and becoming a global star like now, yet still consistently promoting Korea—that's really something amazing. Their mental strength and sense of responsibility don't seem like something just anyone could have.

    -

    Remembering that time and knowing how tough it was to get through that period truly means a lot.

    -

    Yeah, when I think about those really tough times in the past, the way things are now feels even more amazing. The pressure on personal life must have been immense, but the way you consistently take care of Korean fans is truly admirable.

    There’s two on X who are reminiscing of how far she’s come and what that performance was, that left me speechless and tearing up

  • Still no comeback announcements 💔

    I watched it from start to end, and I do think you made good points in general about the product and consumers, and also how by now if it’s not some kpop fans cup of tea they should basically understand that’s okay and normal in any genre even big artists like Taylor. 

    but I think there was some inaccuracies and contradictions? (I think some things needed to be restructured, so that it flows better and listeners get the whole picture). 

    For example: 

    • blackpink have never played it safe, their sound and visuals were very different from other gg from the beginning challenging the status quo, their sound shifted with DDU/KTS and skyrocketed globally and they pivoted again experimenting. The only thing that’s consistent is their identity and attitude. People who sat otherwise don’t engage with their discography. I have yet to see an actual concept album except for XG.

    • they don’t really do pop like BTS and most other groups which help with radio, in their discography there’s maybe two songs that are radio friendly and got radio play. 

    • they don’t get promotion besides just announcing cb and doing coachella, it’s very organic. BTS was taking every deal to expand their awareness and creating content to create parasocial relationships. Also hybe has industry connection in the west unlike yg. 

    • I think with their solo albums and agencies people in kpop got fatigue from overexposure, whereas this is seen as breaking from blackpink, BTS members solo work didn’t get nowhere the same level of attention in global scale and was seen as extension of BTS, except jungkook. 

    • if 2025 was Blackpink’s year because of their solo projects, 2026 will be BTS year as a group because they don’t have overexposure, which like with Taylor and eras tour goes from getting praised to getting scrutinised. 

    • the members themselves reframed this tour as reunion and I think it’s okay to call this tour a legacy eras tour reunion version. I think yg should have made clear statement they will tour, release music and tour. 

    • this tour actually allows them to then negotiate and create from scratch in their own time. That in itself means they’re not a legacy act because they’re not stagnant. 

    parent root

    Ohhh thank you for this! I feel like the way you just captured this is beautifully and I really understand. Maybe the mention of ‘legacy act’ was a bit out of place!!! But truly thank you and I agree

    parent root

    It’s okay! I’ve been a blink for a long time and some haven’t even considered these things, even blinks, and just think it’s been a smooth journey and thus the underserved and overhyped comments. 

    it makes sense for you to address the legacy thing given this tour was a reunion and about celebrating, yk before things start shifting in terms of power dynamics and creativity. It was just needing to put the puzzle pieces together, and looking beyond this era.

  • Jennie owned MMA stage and I'm not over it

  • What's with ppl obsession with rose curse. why cannot they leave her alone ??

    parent

    It’s an inner fandom joke, and due to solo projects and promotions some fans don’t know she doesn’t like it. Some really only tune in when there’s new music and tour, not interviews and stuff. 

    I fear it’s one of the things that ppl have to realise isn’t going to completely be eradicated from the internet, maybe if she does a documentary and mentions it, it would help

  • Yk what I want to see? The girls working with each others’ fashion luxury brands. Since they have started being allowed to wear other brands it’s tiiiiime. Their identity are so tied that although it would make headlines, most ppl wouldn’t think anything of it

    TBF it takes time to make vinyls, they finished recording and filming not too soon ago. I’m guessing they’ll give link to pre-order with announcement or maybe you’ll be able to order on release date that’s also happened and not unprecedented in the industry

    Or the moment where she talkes about exes and looks smilling to the idol area. Than I think, does she really have time to feel the song and think about this or is this just coincidence. Or planed. I have no clue, but for sure very funny.
