Which March?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

lmao I cackled out loud that my supervisor gave me the stink eye

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

[alterlife.livejournal.com]

It’s coming out Smarch 33, 2046

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

yeah official doesn't mean anything when it comes to a YG schedule

[binderwritings.livejournal.com]

Umm I'm going to wait for teasers pics before I really believe.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i'm gonna be a negative nancy but this timing seems way too convenient to me, lmao.

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it reminds me of how Red Velvet was rushed out after SM pulled f(x) and how they, at first, seemed to always comeback when SM was in the middle of a controversy with a different group LOL

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

wow the disrespect. red velvet deserved better. i'm still annoyed that there is no official statement about f(x) from SM either. just let the fans know the group has disbanded, and the members went solo. poor luna is always bombarded with questions about an f(x) comeback while her solo stuff gets ignored by so-called fans

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

mte. Krystal's just as frustrated about their status tbh, she's said before that timing's an issue but she really wants a group comeback. I honestly feel bad for the girls because you can see they (or at least Krystal and Luna) want a comeback.

EDIT: I was looking for the article about Krystal's frustration and I found it finally lol here it is (https://www.soompi.com/article/1110489wpp/krystal-opens-reasons-fxs-prolonged-hiatus).

At least we know what the fans kept saying about how Krys, Amber and Vic were so obviously checked out of f(x) with only Lunabb being the only one invested in the group is not true.

[daynr.livejournal.com]

interesting, I had the impression that Krystal was only here for acting/modeling these days. I just assumed it was related to either not loving performing, or Jessica.

Also, unless it's completely related to Victoria, I'm not buying a scheduling conflict. The other three aren't that busy, and I think Amber would have spent more of the last year in Korea if it meant a comeback.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

hmmm idk because usually SM will just empty out a group's members' schedules just so they can all come back together. i guess they're just not SM's priority anymore, so the company is forcing the members to plan out their own schedules? also did Krystal say this before Amber officially started her US career? I can see Amber wanting to stay in the States where she has more creative control and freedom plus she gets to be home. I still can't believe she had to literally sneak into boy group dance classes to be able to have a chance to do the choreo she wants to do. Luna is also getting to do music she is comfortable with and not just f(x)'s style. Of course Victoria and Krystal have their own thing going on with acting, modeling, etc. Maybe f(x) will reunite again one day in the future but it will be like a reunion concert or something for fans

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

honestly same

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[thatchicksaywha.livejournal.com]

wow, i didn't even think about that... i honestly hope the girls are doing alright

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

How so? Just before Seungri's scandal blew all the way up, YG wrote a blog post and he mentioned a blackpink comeback in March.

[donutism.livejournal.com]

someone get the girls out of YG. i dunno, seems like YG is just throwing them out there as a distraction

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

so which leftover song will they be releasing this time?

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

oh i thought he was gonna push lee hi first hmmm

[22-taken.livejournal.com]

lee hi's contract with yg is going to end before this man lets her make a comeback

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Is it not selling? I know they added a few more shows, but like they're on a Wednesday night in early May. I'm gonna travel some 4 hrs to see BTS, but won't drive the one hour to see BP

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

huh i thought there was a lot of hype around them since their comeback is trending on twitter right now. and how would a fancam of jennie being lazy stop fans from coming when TOP and jessica are lazy on stage but their concerts did well? the lacking setlist is probably most likely the reason

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

I thought that some of the accusations about her being lazy on stage when she was promoting solo was unfair, but this video is pretty damning proof that she really isn't trying.

I think of all those girl groups not in the top three working their butts off to make it, must be really galling to then see the level of output from a YG group. Her other team members deserve better than this lacklustre approach.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

i'll agree that it was a bad idea on YG's part to start out in the US with an arena tour when they haven't been there before (he probably cited youtube views as a reason for it lmao) as well as the lacking set list.
I also agree that there are other girl groups that are better performers and singers than them but that hasn't stopped fans from stanning idols that might have less stage presence or talent before, especially from the big 3. when forming BP all YG talked about was making a girl group that was really pretty without plastic surgery and nothing else, plus YG seems to not provide proper vocal training like in the case of Bom, so you have a company that's not interested in developing their girl groups' talent and it's not necessarily completely the girls' faults.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

i think we can all agree that the main problem here is still YG and he should not be allowed to be anywhere near any woman lol

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Wow shes literally standing still in some parts :O why do you think? Is she bored? A bad performer? Disillusioned with being an idol? I don't remember her being so dull during the first run of tv performances of boombayah and whistle back in 2016.

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

My friend who's a BP stan saw them here in Manila and she was disappointed by the show apparently

EDIT: I checked out NB and there was this post (“https://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2019/03/black-pinks-tour-was-not-sold-out-like.html?m=1”) talking about their tour but I haven’t read the full article yet.

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

they're selling well in my country. did an extra 1 night even.

[jackieee94.livejournal.com]

The US tickets include a copy of their new EP so they have to release it. Tickets around my area have gone down to $24, I think I’m going to go...

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

bad timing yg

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i'm just scared that the public will react bad to them bc of the timing =/

[aures.livejournal.com]

*cough* we all know why YG needs the money now............

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

Cant wait for whistle 2019 version, bombayah 2019 version, etc

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

This time in English xD

[thatchicksaywha.livejournal.com]

lol i doubt it. and another EP? when's the full length coming???

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

I knew they were about to come back with their tour going on and stuff, but the timing is really bad right now. YG is using them to distract from the scandal and netizens will shit on them for being the scapegoat.

[mortkero.livejournal.com]

Whatever happened to the promise of solos for all BP members?

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Sad because I was more interested in Lisa and Jisoo's solos.

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

i was look forward to jisoo's
guess they'll never happen..

[myungung.livejournal.com]

only Rose's one was said to be released, the others were not really confirmed though.

but knowing YG, probably had no intention of releasing, especially when BP is gonna have a comeback soon

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

well i have nothing nice to say so i'm not gonna say anything at all
