SCREAMING

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Yes! I find hard to get into groups if I can't see them on variety/reality shows. But that cute Jisoo's gif of her reminding Jennie to thanks their parents after their first win that I have seen around is making me like her hahaha

[tewwteww.livejournal.com]

Finally. Can't wait !!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy about this!!!
Hopefully it will be quickly uploaded on youtube I can't make naver work

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

[fullofrapture.livejournal.com]

yesssss i'm so curious about rosé and jisoo :')

halllujah.

I don't suppose he'll let them go on Weekly Idol because that's too ~mainstream~ and below his brand? I'm glad they're getting their own show but I hope they'll make other variety show appearances, too. Can't speak for everyone but I get a lot more invested in a group when I get to watch them interact with each other, play silly games, hang out with other celebs, etc. so this exclusivity strategy makes no sense to me.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

some YGs artists went to weekly idols lately, so it's not impossible for them to send BP

[bulliekim.livejournal.com]

Winner, AKMU, Hayi & GD have all been on Weekly Idol & iKON was supposedly scheduled before Hyung Don's (now indefinite) hiatus.

Personally, after seeing the debut of 5 YGE artists, I can confidently say that YGE pretty rarely have their ducks in a row when it comes to debut. So what I get from BLACKPINK is not ~exclusivity~ it's just typical YGE mismanagement.

[soyymilk.livejournal.com]

nah, if GD has been on weekly idol there's nothing stopped blackpink from being on it too.

This reminds me of how a parent will use their learned experiences from raising other kids to do everything right for a new one and you feel great that they're getting it together while still a bit bitter that they didn't have this epiphany earlier/when it could've benefitted you most.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

lmao real i'm both the bitter older kid a the bitter 2ne1 fan

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I hope they'll have fun while shooting this
Although I wish YG wouldn't always resort to these type of show
Some tv appearance would be nice too

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

Yes!
I was really aiming for Lisa to be my bias but Jennie showed up like, "lol guess again, bitch".

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Jennie snatched me since Black and sealed the deal when her teaser pictures came out

[maffinoyobiai.livejournal.com]

same I loved her vocals in Black

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

Excited to see how are the girls personalities :)

[la-geni.livejournal.com]

The reason he does this is to control their images. That's why Bbtv and 2NE1tv existed. I remember TOP said he was told not to talk. That's why he took on roles in the beginning where he looked stoic or whatever because it went with the image YG was trying to create for him. Even though we all know he's a goof ball irl. This is YG micromanaging BP's image.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Don't all companies do that though? I remember INFINITE said Woollim wouldn't let Myungsoo speak or even laugh much lol. He probably didn't mind the not talking part but it seems par for the course with companies.

[jileader.livejournal.com]

Honestly all companies micromanage (or at least try to) their idols images

[la-geni.livejournal.com]

Lol but most companies don't have one person doing all the micromanaging. That's why people in Hollywood have a manager, a pr agent, social media assistant, PA etc. Yg's managers are glorified body guards.

[jileader.livejournal.com]

Idk doesn't matter if it's one person or five, their image is still being controlled, specially since they just debuted
Surely as they advance in their careers there won't be as much control over them just like how top is able to be as bingu top as he wants nowadays

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Best thing to wake up to! And we don't even have to wait long for it to air <3

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

I wish it aired on Mnet and was posted on Mnet's youtube channel later on with English subs as they would probably gain much more both Korean and international fans that way, but I guess YG decided to be cheap and just go with Naver.

[bulliekim.livejournal.com]

I am actually thankful it's not going to be on Mnet. I genuinely hope Mnet's "healthy porn" PD & evil editing stay as far away from BLACKPINK as possible.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Mnet has several PDs, I highly doubt that one asshole would have worked with BP's reality show.

[bulliekim.livejournal.com]

That "one asshole" is the Chief Producer behind Produce 101, SMTM, UPRS & Boys24 so obviously he's a big part of Mnet's production staff (which is why I assume he wasn't fired after his gross comments) but ok.

My point is - whether he's the janitor or the CEO - I don't want him near BLACKPINK.

[cacalicious21.livejournal.com]

Halleluiah!!!!!!!!!!

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

Any news on if they'll sub it and put it on youtube a la 2ne1tv?

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

does naver mean it's through v app? excited to see the girls finally

[jyushimatsu.livejournal.com]

yessss
i'm so ready for this

[lily-of-west.livejournal.com]

So ready.....Thank you Lord Almighty

[jileader.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeeesssss, I was hopping for a bptv
This makes me miss 2ne1tv

[pastelpinklace.livejournal.com]

I hope they let them show their true personalities

[yungbitchpuddi.livejournal.com]

This is good, I'm more likely to enjoy a group if I get to know them behind the scenes, which will be good because I really need to find a girl group to stan and I honestly didn't like the songs that much.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

late to the party as always, but omg miracles.mp3
