YG Entertainment Comes Under Fire From BLINKs For Mistreating BLACKPINK Jisoo’s During Her Solo “FLOWER” Promotions
BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo has always captured the heart of netizens with her talent, visuals, and charm. After what seemed like forever, Jisoo finally made her solo debut, but netizens are calling out YG Entertainment for the mistreatment of the idol with her solo debut.
At the end of March, Jisoo finally made her solo debut with the album ME and the title track “FLOWER.” Unsurprisingly, the idol shocked fans with her unreal visuals and took the world by storm.
Yet, many BLINKs have shared their anger at the lack of promotions Jisoo has had compared to the other members, especially as it is her solo debut.
After the album was released, Jisoo surprised fans with content, including a music show performance, an appearance with Lee Young Ji on My Alcohol Diary, and a WIRED video.
There was also a beautiful “FLOWER” TikTok challenge that was created and has even been cutely interpreted by netizens and their pets.
Although netizens loved Jisoo’s performances and her appearance with Lee Young Ji, many wanted more.
Amidst the promotions, fans pointed out that it was done during a group tour and amongst other group promotions, which meant that Jisoo wasn’t given enough chance to promote her solo.
Debuting in the middle of world tour, releasing group game content between that and just 2 youtube variety shows ,2 stages and you moved on?
She has been working so hard and that's how you treat her?

JISOO debuted on March 31, but we really can't see the promo @ygent_official is giving. NO presscon, ONLY 2 youtube shows that don't even air on TV, and 2 pre-recorded music shows. We demand more promos for JISOO SOLO.

While not targeting the other members and focusing on YG Entertainment’s mismanagement of Jisoo’s solo promotion, fans also compared Jisoo’s solo promotions to the rest of BLACKPINK.

While the group is in LA ahead of Coachella, a DIOR event was attended by the likes of ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo and Han So Hee. Fans pointed out that although the members were rehearsing, as a DIOR ambassador, it would’ve been nice for Jisoo to attend, even if it wasn’t for long.
they dont even let jisoo attend that gris dior party even tho she's in LA rn and shes the GA. this is so fucked up

Yet, it’s not the first time BLINKs have raised their concerns about Jisoo’s treatment. During the group’s “SHUT DOWN” promotions, BLINKs shared their anger at the lack of news of the idol’s upcoming solo, being missed out of thumbnails, and the number of lines she had.
While it’s understandable that BLACKPINK is busy as a group and Jisoo would not want to sacrifice any of their schedules for her own schedule, many wished that YG Entertainment would’ve planned it to allow Jisoo to shine with “FLOWER” even more.
