BLACKPINK

I quite feel bad for most idols, though… Having to go to all those shows. It's not like it's fun for them either.
But in the case of BlackPink, I reckon that after six years in the dungeon, they want to see the light of the day a bit more and perform on other shows.

A true visual group indeed.

I'm still conflicted over most of Blackpink's songs because apart from Playing With Fire (which would be amazing if it weren't for the lack of a proper finale) I only like them in separate parts. Boombayah and Whistle especially just sound so fragmented and messy to me.
 
That's not really something the girls can do anything about though. I personally like what they've released so far but I can see what you mean about the songs being a bit fragmented.
 
Has anyone listened to the Acoustic Version of Whistle that's on Square Two? I was skipping over it (more like listening to Playing With Fire on repeat) but gave it a spin this afternoon and I think it sounds pretty good. At the moment I'd say it's on par with the original mix.

Even though it's just the same recorded vocals over an acoustic instrumental, the verses do sound great. The non-chorus bit doesn't really match, but that serves them right for not having a proper chorus to begin with.

This is their latest Inkigayo performance. Pay no attention to Lisa's Cookie Monster outfit. The girls are really upping their performance game. Jisoo is nowhere near as tragic as before. I can never tell if they're live-singing or not but I don't really care. Kii.

 
YG groups have always had questionable styling but I really don't understand what their look is supposed to be? Like they don't look particularly bad, I'm just confused.

I don't understand the confusion about they styling? The only issue for me is that they don't always match and I like when members of the same group wear similar outfits. Other than that they look great and a hundred times better than 2NEWHO? who looked gross 90% of the time.
