Found this funny video about the [“OMG, the tank is on fire!”](https://youtu.be/q6xvg5iJ4Zk?si=oVV10bgD7NAoQkuf) test. 
one of the girls is potentially debuting on billboard hot 100 at #99 👀chart comes out monday 🙏 i’m pretty sure this will be jennie’s first song as a soloist to chart 🥳
streams account for 98% of the song’s performance. it has very little radio and sales
If there are any Blinks that live in the dfw area, the hot topic at grapevine mills mall has the pink venom funko pops. I was able to get one on Friday 🥳
With 61/66 shows reporting @ $281m, Born Pink tour should easily top $300m. It’s 5 stadiums left: 2 Met, Oracle, Dodger, and the Stade de France.
From 2017 and not kpop, but still one of the rare articles about where [concert ticket money goes](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jan/30/where-does-concert-ticket-money-go). I think the one difference with kpop is that bit about 15-20% goes to the manager, would be more like 50% goes to the Entertainment company. At least on their initial 7 yr contract. I’d guess the girls will probably get $15m each, and then have to pay tax.
yall ever have the urge to start barking?
BlackPink is the new generation!
u/jazzberry76 Bruh, [there’s a part 2](https://youtu.be/QOXpT_0FWbw?si=M9bsgdBNr7qSKYu9)?! And the MV hurts even more! 
Who’s writing the English lyrics for ITZY’s ‘Born to Be’ cuz they needa find a new lyricist lmao.
pretending I don’t care about Jennie’s Christmas song cover so she releases it sooner

I waited until some time passed to see will Batter Up grow on me, and I don’t really want to post this on BM sub, I suspect they have enough of criticisms as it is already.
So yeah, I still find a song is nice and cute, raps are fire, girls are great, even that ending has grown on me, but chorus is just not it. IMHO yge should stick with sung chorus for BM. That would only make sense, you can have hiphop song with at least partly sung chorus and less repetitive would be nice too. Related to their concept, I still wish they debuted Rami as rnb solo artist, instead in this group, but it could be just me. Rora oth somehow fits amazingly well.
Talking about chorus being not it, BP has Ready for Love, an amazing song with chorus that makes it way less amazing to my profound sadness.
Surely Jennie didn’t forget about the Christmas cover? right? 😅
Why has Netflix started to release episodes on a weekly basis for some of their shows? I wanted to binge Singles Inferno season 3 over the weekend and after finishing episode 3 I realized that the rest of the episodes aren’t out yet. So annoying! 
Started putting some time into playing Subnautica last weekend. Really fun so far. A bit of a learning curve trying to figure out what to do. I’m in a weird spot where I’m looking up beginner’s guides on how to play while also trying to avoid potential spoilers. I want to keep this game as brand new as possible.

[BLACKPINK “Lovesick Girls” ](https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:53056645ba8d4a35a21977d30aa6f733)
Our gurl Lisa is going to France once again, Paris has became her second home now
I’m so tired of the discourse surrounding Blackpinks lyrics and the meaning of their music.
They have loud dance music AND meaningful songs in their discography. Those two things can coexist, and one doesn’t cancel out the other.
They’ve started promoting Apartment 404 now, so I hope that means it’ll be released sooner rather than later. JNK1 around the same time would be awesome!
Has anyone ever posted anything BP related in the main music sub before? It seems to be mostly classic rock and metal dudes over there, but they surprise me sometimes.
