[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

According to OSEN’s report on June 22, many U.S. networks and music producers have their eyes on BLACKPINK.

A source from the industry said, “The offers to BLACKPINK from U.S. networks and music producers reflect the response of the locals, so it can be interpreted that there is a quite a lot of interest from the local public.”

In response, a source from YG Entertainment stated, “It’s true that there are offers from many places [including the United States]. It’s not yet at a stage to say anything officially.”

1. [+214, -13] Do people still not get it after seeing BTS... an American advancement isn't something you "do", it's something that's "done"... It's way better to just stay in Korea and work hard than forcing yourself into America and singing English songs ㅋㅋㅋ It's a different market from Japan's...

2. [+166, -7] Wasn't CL doing one too... pretty sure we've been hearing about it for three years now and now there's nothing

3. [+120, -5] We all know they've been saying this since 2NE1's days, right?

4. [+20, -1] Give us the name of who exactly gave them a love call ㅋㅋㅋ don't just brush over it

5. [+17, -1] I feel like Jisoo's their hole. She looks like she's struggling with their dances and barely has any talent in singing.

6. [+13, -1] Another one of YG's classic media plays. Please wait until you show us something like BTS did before you media play about it. They always start off with 'advancement underway', 'love calls received'... always rushing for that attention!

7. [+13, -0] How about you put out more albums instead? Sick of their mysterious concept

8. [+10, -0] Hyun Suk at it again...

9. [+10, -1] Korea's idol hip hop style will never work in America. How Americans view Korean hip hop is probably the same as how we view SEA hip hop/rap.

10. [+9, -0] Stop whining about American advancements already! Let it happen naturally like Psy and BTS and let the shows invite you themselves... When's CL's advancement? Is meeting a few celebs and "working" on something considered an advancement now? Stop acting so desperate! Let them call you first!

Sure, Hyun-suk

2NE1 died so BlackPink would suffer the same fate??? It was nice knowing you BP. Once the "imminent American debut" statement comes out their fate is sealed. The dungeon awaits..

knet #4 needs to put some respect on jisoo's name!! she's a gem and a joy

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

When I saw this on netizenbuzz I was like "Oh, here me go...🙄"

but it was basically about how many views their video got in such a short amount of time. Yeah, that got people to take notice, but I don't think anything will come of it. If anything, they might have a performance here or there (like when SNSD was on Letterman) but I don't know if Blinks will mobilize for anything to come of it. Plus, we're still waiting on CL, so I hope YGE doesn't think they can release an English version and sudden pop in the states.

What the point of rehashing 2NE1 in BP? YG is actually making them to be 2NE1 I don't get it. And it's not because of Bom, 2ne1 was in the basement way before then

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Even though YG made 2ne1, it seems like he ended up hating them - and maybe he hated them for being ugly, idk. Considering how he was always calling CL ugly and shit, and how he made the next group the 'pretty 2ne1'. It's like he had some chip on his shoulder.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Personal opinion: because he’s a misogynistic ass who ended up regretting 2NE1 because they were “ugly” and wanted a prettier version of the group.

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

YG's just jelly of BTS, haha.

[ohbubbajoan.livejournal.com]

We all know YG will disband BP before he lets them to have any recognition. I bet he's already pissed enough they had such a strong comeback

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

YG seems like such a petty bastard, I would not that past him, to be pissed, lmao.

Even if it goes against all business sense...

[kyokomurasaki.livejournal.com]

Half of 2NE1 were fluent English speakers too but we see how their international "career" panned out... where is CL tho

I feel like the landscape now is much different from the days of 2NE1/Wonder Girls/SNSD making advancements in the US so maybe it would be different with BP, but I don't trust anything YG says so for now good luck booking that stage you speak of

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

honestly when will CL be free,

and i feel bad for BP man :/ YG fucking blows

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Lmao YG wishes

[infj23.livejournal.com]

I can see YG putting more effort into advancing BP to spite CL.

[rainstormraider.livejournal.com]

Comment 5 was so outta context but I kinda agree? Or I did until some new article came out about how Jisoo was voted best looking in BP.

#6, #9 and #10 are so accurate it actually hurts.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Lmao the netizen comments, I love it.

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

I will laugh myself to death if these gals debut in the us before CL does
Anyways 2ne1's best english speakers were not allowed to speak during their time in the states so maybe YG will learn from that

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I mean... logically speaking I think it could work? They already have an established fandom of kpoppies over there and three of the members speak fluent English, but knowing YG, nothing will come of this OR this is all just more mediaplay.

[shawarmafordays.livejournal.com]

Can they first promote in SK and get recognition before leaving for the States, Yang Hyun Suk????
