BLACKPINK Fans Want the Group to Leave YG Entertainment After Comeback Delay
There’s sad news on the horizon for BLACKPINK fans, as parent company YG Entertainment announced the group will be delaying their hotly-anticipated comeback until 2020.
According to Metro, on Wednesday, November 13, YG announced in a statement that the K-pop group would be postponing their upcoming comeback, writing, “The comeback of girl group BLACKPINK is likely to be delayed until next year.”
Following the successful release of their five-track EP Kill This Love and their momentous Coachella performance back in April, Blinks have been eagerly awaiting news about the quartet’s future ventures.
According to CelebMix, YG’s founder, Yang Hyun-suk, had hoped to have a second BLACKPINK comeback during 2019. And while they never officially confirmed a set comeback date after that, many fans had theorized a year-end return would be possible — especially after the members themselves confirmed they were working on new music in September.
Many Blinks believed new content from the girls would be arriving this month, prior to news of the delay. Following the release of YG’s statement, fans have taken to social media to express their discontent with the company’s management.
“How many times have blackpink voiced out their frustrations about their lack of content/comebacks? we have all see them do it. jensoo asking for comebacks on national tv and jennie almost crying on a vlive because she was apologizing for it. stop acting like they enjoy this,” a Blink pointed out on Twitter after the news broke. “If YG really plans on giving Blackpink only one comeback per year, at least make it a full album per comeback,” another one added.
Fans even started and trended the hashtag #BLACKPINKLEAVEYG on Twitter as a way to ask the group to part ways with the company. “If blackpink left yg imagine the power they would have. they have a dedicated fan base who just want them to get the opportunities they deserve. 2-3 comebacks a year? the records they would break would be sickening,” a Blink commented using the hashtag.
This isn’t the first time Blinks have used social media to call out YG. Back in August, the fandom also trended the hashtag #StayStrongRosé in support of the group’s vocalist, claiming she “deserved better management.”
News of BLACKPINK’s delayed comeback comes during a week of highs for the group, which celebrated hitting a billion views on YouTube for their viral hit "DDU-DU DDU-DU" earlier this week.
