BLACKPINK's 'Shut Down' M/V Teaser Include This Small Detail
Recently on September 13, BLACKPINK signaled the nearing of their highly-awaited comeback by dropping the music video teaser of their upcoming new title track of their "BORN PINK" album, "Shut Down."
The teaser video drew attention from both fans and non-fans, who have expressed their excitement for the new song, especially as it included classical music, La Campanella by violinist Niccolò Paganini.
However, a small detail that can easily be overlooked was noticed by fans. In the teaser, each of the members had a couple of seconds of screentime, with Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa showing off their amazing charisma for a short amount of time.

In particular, during Rosé's part, the BLACKPINK member can be seen sitting and "driving" in a car. Although her screentime was only less than a second, fans noticed upon closer look that the idol was wearing a seatbelt!
If you have been a BLINK (BLACKPINK's fandom) for a while, you may have noticed that this is in reference to their past release, "Kill This Love."

In 2019, BLACKPINK released their hit single "Kill This Love." Despite the addicting beats, the song was eventually banned from KBS' broadcasts due to a tiny detail - Rosé wasn't wearing a seatbelt while driving during her scene!
While the decision at the time angered fans due to its trivial reasoning, it eventually became a joke within the fandom.
