that Don't Know What To Do vídeo looks like a Samsung ad or something? :rip: like YG would never make a MV like that during the KTL era

I respectfully disagree. If you're going to market yourself globally, take advantage of the global market and global money — all the while basing a lot of your image, sound and rap style off AA culture, the least you can do is make sure you don't engage in language that is offensive.

 

This narrative of "oh we can't expect them to know it's offensive" is a major cop out when they are engaging in culture vulturism. 

Its also a self-defeating argument coming from kpop stans since we stan a much much much more niche culture than hip hop is and consume fully translated songs and interviews that take time to clarify concepts that simple translations might not pick up on. If something isn't immediately understandable off a basic translation, either the translator or the fans will pick up the slack and explain what's going on. You really can't separate American rap music from the plight of black people and there's no way to begin to wrap your head around the classics without a basic understanding.

 

I can see how some really early adopters of rap like Psy and Epik High might have missed the problematic angle of using the n word off of the logic that they aren't white too but by the time there was global kpop fans, there was people speaking out about how they really can't say that. In an industry obsessed with optics there's really no excuse for that word coming up in any professional context after the labels were aware(which as a GD stan, I can confirm, YG has been OVERWHELMINGLY aware since I got into kpop with the release of GD&TOP).

It could be the a-side of the video without other sets/clips spliced or without effects and full editing

Though it just looks like there's an LED screen behind them which is pretty reminiscent of DDD where it's literally 5 sets total (except the shitty plastic pillars have better editing on them and darker lighting to hide how cheap they look)

They came dangerously close to being OT5; I think there's a version of Boombayah out there she's on and even some MV clips too

The Blackpink OT7 video...

Jennie Lisa and Rose were LOCKED to debut

The charisma :jonny5: and the n words

The person leaking these unreleased stuff will get an even bigger sentence than King Bob

miyeon ended up on a group that she belongs

 

blackpink is better as 4. that ot7 video is lowkey serving babymonster mess :toofunny3:

Blackpink being four members is one of the reasons why they were popular

Blackpink was always going to be 4 members or else YG would have needed to buy extra costumes instead of just getting 2NE1's taken down a few sizes  :fan:

so do we think this thing will affect the pinks careers? or is it gonna be just endless twitter drags

These videos are from 10+ years ago, it's too old at this point to do some actual damage aside from stan twitter mess

If it was something fresh, like videos from 2023-2024, then maybe

Will anyone even care by the end of the week? it'll be fake outrage and then it'll be forgotten before April ends
