HYBE, the parent company of BTS and other renowned K-pop groups, has sparked a heated debate among fans after making a shocking claim about BLACKPINK Rosé's success. In a recent statement, HYBE allegedly credited BTS for Rosé's achievements, leaving many BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans) furious and disappointed.
A report from Koreaboo revealed that HYBE made the claim during a meeting with investors, stating that Rosé's success was largely due to BTS's global influence and popularity. While HYBE may have intended to highlight the synergy between its artists, the statement has been perceived as dismissive of Rosé's individual talent and efforts.
Rosé, whose real name is Park Chae-young, has worked tirelessly to establish herself as a talented singer, songwriter, and performer. Her debut solo single, 'On the Ground,' was a huge commercial success, topping various music charts and breaking multiple records. Fans argue that Rosé's achievements are a testament to her hard work and dedication, rather than solely relying on BTS's fame.
On social media platforms, fans are expressing their outrage and frustration towards HYBE's statement. Many BLINKs feel that the company is attempting to downplay Rosé's success and diminish her achievements. They argue that HYBE should be supporting and celebrating Rosé's accomplishments rather than undermining them.
This controversy highlights the cutthroat nature of the entertainment industry, where artists are often pitted against each other, and their achievements are scrutinized and compared. While HYBE may have intended to showcase the company's success, the statement has ultimately led to a backlash from fans and raised questions about the company's approach to promoting its artists.
HYBE has yet to respond to the growing criticism and backlash from fans. In the meantime, BLINKs will continue to rally behind Rosé and celebrate her well-deserved success.
