Article: Why did YG 'neglect' Black Pink for a year?

1. [+632, -16] Isn't Lee Hi still being neglected

2. [+549, -11] Black Pink isn't the only one being neglected by YG, they did it with Big Bang too

3. [+517, -12] Black Pink is actually on the lenient side ㅋㅋㅋ YG is always keeping talented kids on the backburner like they're marinating them

4. [+46, -6] I like Black Pink and all but I wish they'd stop copying 2NE1's style of singing. 2NE1 had a characteristic style of autotune specific to them. What I like about Winner and iKON is that they let go some of that YG style and sing in a style that's comfortable to them. Black Pink should work on finding their own style since they're better than 2NE1 in both looks and skills ㅎㅎ

5. [+35, -3] It's because Yang CEO is a businessman, not a musician

6. [+30, -5] Their whole company is being neglected, it's not just Black Pink

7. [+35, -6] Big Bang was capable of writing and composing their own songs and still neglected but Black Pink can't have comebacks unless Teddy writes them new songs

8. [+27, -0] YG needs to get more composers... how is Teddy the only one composing everything still..

9. [+22, -3] To think that a singer who's been out for 2-3 years barely has 10 songs yet ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ just shows how much YG doesn't work ㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+18, -7] Twice has too frequent comebacks, Black Pink doesn't have enough... there needs to be a happy medium

11. [+16, -1] I wouldn't start calling it neglect until it's at 2NE1 levels ㅋㅋㅋ feels like 2NE1 was retired right after they hit their peak ㅋ

12. [+15, -7] Isn't it because Teddy makes all their songs by himself? He does have long periods in between but he still makes good songs every time
