BLINKs Are Calling Out YG Entertainment For Disrespecting Lisa, Here’s Why
The excitement for BLACKPINK‘s comeback keeps growing as they release more and more teasers showcasing a dark, dangerous, and sexy vibe. As the teasers get uploaded, however, fans noticed one thing about how YG Entertainment has been releasing Lisa‘s teasers and are not happy.
It all started with the poster teasers for the group. While both Rosé and Jennie were tagged on Twitter, fans noticed that Jisoo and Lisa weren’t. Although they later noticed that Jisoo and Lisa’s hashtags were added to the bottom of the tweet rather than the top like Rosé and Jennie’s tweets.
That, unfortunately, was only the beginning. Despite finding Lisa’s hashtag on the poster, when her video teaser was uploaded fans realized that YG Entertainment had completely failed to tag Lisa.
It didn’t stop there either. Chinese BLINKs realized that Lisa was the only member to have her video completely hidden on Weibo. While the other members’ videos could clearly be seen via an embedded video, Lisa’s was nowhere to be found!
BLINKs were not happy when they uncovered both problems with Lisa’s teasers. The felt the mistakes were disrespectful to Lisa and began calling YG Entertainment out for it.

Many fans expressed their disappointment in the company…
You hide Lisa’s teaser on Weibo, why is always Lisa @ygent_official @FROMREALYG ? Is it because she is very popular in China? Can you just treat Lisa equally? Why is it so hard? @UMG Can you please take care of Lisa? Treat her better. https://t.co/c6GpmFZhE2

this is why the fandom is so divided. there’s no equality in the treatment and it ALL roots down to the company. YGE only got messier. A management that can’t properly manage their artists.

And many more couldn’t help feeling angry.
I'm NOT Thai nor am I Korean, Race doesn't mean shitt to me. I like #Lisa as an artist, she's one of the rare ones who TRANSCENDS RACE. So this little shade from whoever is in charge of #Blackpink Social Media is getting on my nerves. "#" ain't no big deal, except during promos. pic.twitter.com/w7EUHrynEn

🚫 They didn't add # for Lisa when they posted her teaser video on their official account in Twitter and everyone know what is the point of the hashtag, its makes her trend better

Fans are hoping that YG Entertainment learns from this and not only properly tags their artists but also uploads their videos correctly in the future too.
