Apparently, many fans are using the hashtag #BLACKPINKLEAVEYG on Twitter and here’s everything you need to know about it!
On Thursday, #BLACKPINKLEAVEYG blew up on Twitter with many using this campaign to urge K-pop girl group to leave its agency, YG Entertainment. The reason for this is the company’s failure in promoting its idols and a series of scandals involving its other artists.
Recently, BLACKPINK became the first Korean group to reach one billion views on YouTube for their single music video, ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU’. But apparently, their comeback this 2019 was pushed back. Thus, this enraged most of their fans with them saying BLACKPINK is being “mistreated” and “held-back.”
