On June 2, fans and supporters of BLACKPINK, particularly BLINKs, expressed their exasperation through various social media accounts, demanding BLACKPINK to leave YG Entertainment.
This is following the alleged mistreatment to the members inside the agency that is previously the reason why the fandom base, BLINKs, organized a protest truck running around Seoul and YG buildings. However, the wrath of BLINKs was triggered severely when Lisa was reportedly scammed recently by his former manager, swindling 1 Billion Won from the Thai K-pop idol.
Due to this, the fandom base of BLACKPINK, BLINKs, and other fans and supporters of the female idols has trended a hashtag in social media, #BLACKPINKLeaveYG, demanding BLACKPINK to leave their agency.
According to the fans, BLACKPINK and its members are not safe in their company anymore. Aside from being allegedly mistreated, BLACKPINK members are also receiving death threats and malicious comments in social media that are affecting the members tremendously. Though YG Entertainment is releasing announcements about taking legal actions against the idols' anti-fans and haters, the negative feedback continues.
In addition to this, BLACKPINK is 'overworked,' according to fans, wherein previously as well, BLACKPINK Jennie and Lisa were reportedly injured their legs. However, despite their poor health, they continue to attend their respective events and schedules.
Furthermore, Lisa who has been robbed by his former manager became an eye-opener to other fans, realizing that BLACKPINK members can't trust anyone in their company even their managers who became their companion since debut and one of his trusted person in Korea after leaving her hometown to pursue her career.
Meanwhile, the world-renown K-pop stars, BLACKPINK, is a group launched under YG Entertainment in 2016, which eventually soars upon becoming one of the top girl groups, not only domestically but globally, due to their incredible skills and talents.
The K-pop idol group comprises of members Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo, whom upon debut, captured several hearts of K-pop enthusiasts, with their debut songs, "Whistle," and "Boombayah." Ther popularity and music lead them to become known in international countries as well, making them one of the groups which represent K-pop in the mainstream.
In 2019, after their successful song release with "Kill This Love," fans began to wonder what happened to the group, who has been promoting music less and less as the years go by. YG Entertainment promised BLINKs then that BLACKPINK will release an album in 2019, and the members, will be debuting as solo artists. However, among those promises, YG Entertainment didn't accomplish any of it, due to circumstances, such as the company facing several controversies in 2019 and battling with coronavirus this 2020.
Thus, fans wish to find a new company that will treat BLACKPINK better, giving them a proper environment, where they can create and produce their own music and release their full potential while being free yet safe.
