Amidst the hype and excitement fans and supporters of BLACKPINK are feeling right now, their mood is ruined due to a careless act by YG Entertainment social media admin in BLACKPINK's official Instagram account.
On June 18, fans of the female idols, particularly BLINKs expressed their delighted hearts, as BLACKPINK Jennie and Rosé's first video teaser was finally dropped on their official social media accounts. Just then, BLACKPINK's layout on Instagram was changed, featuring the image and video teasers of the members.
However, fans are quick to notice that one member of the group was excluded, pointing then that Jisoo's concept photo was missing. Due to this, BLINKs are extremely upset as this always happens to the idol, leading them to finally speak up and call out the attention of YG Entertainment to fix this infuriating mistake.

Fans and supporters of BLACKPINK then use the hashtag #JisooDeservesBetter, along with their messages demanding for better treatment to the idol. Chinese BLINKs allegedly talked to the company as well to fix this issue, which is indeed not just a small problem that should be overlooked. Shortly after, it seems like YG Entertainment heard the demands of BLINKs, as the group's official IG account admin deleted their posts, changing the layout with an edit, including Jisoo. Despite the quick response of YGE, fans and netizens are not convinced with it, as according to BLINKs, they are 'tired' and 'sick' of YG Entertainment's unfair treatment to Jisoo.
When injustice crosses it's line, you need to speak up about it no matter what! Never forget nor forgive @ygent_official for always treating Jisoo like this! They only changed their layout cause of the backlash. Or, they would've done it since the beginning. #JisooDeservesBetter pic.twitter.com/FolTcyehXT — ️ (@RLsnowkid) June 18, 2020
According to fans, this is not the first time that it happened, and finally, they are fully convinced that YG Entertainment is treating Jisoo differently and poorly among other members. BLINKs then started trending #StayWithBL4CKPINK, reminding everyone specifically YG Entertainment that BLACKPINK consists of four members, and will always be four members. The hashtag trended in several countries, including the Philippines and Malaysia, just proving that even international fans are not happy.

Meanwhile, on Twitter, fans are also sharing those times that Jisoo was treated poorly. In some of YG Entertainment's posts, Jisoo was also missing in the picture set, or even worse, Jisoo's image was cropped. Also, fans are upset about how BLACKPINK music videos don't use Jisoo's thumbnail in it, has lesser screen time, never said their group's signature opening line, "BLACKPINK in your area," and is barely the center.
BLINKs are now demanding YG Entertainment to give Jisoo more opportunities, such as having fair lines in their new song. In addition to this, as the group's main visual, fans and netizens are also questioning why Jisoo is always forgotten when she is the face of the group. The supporters of the group are diligent in getting proper response from the idol's agency.
I'm sorry Jisoo you are the one that hyping the most about this comeback and always hype everything about blackpink and blinks but your company keep treating you like that. We will show them that the whole world is on your side! #JisooDeservesBetter @ygofficialblink pic.twitter.com/6sK99tOr6O — a(j) (@chyuinmyarea) June 18, 2020
On the other hand, fans decided to fight for Jisoo and stay with the FOUR members of BLACKPINK until YG Entertainment staff and management do something to make up for everything. Nevertheless, the idols will be releasing their first single after a year, and fans are paying attention to their new song that will kick off on June 26.
