this is actually great.
that way there's no confrontation, mess, back-stabbing, jealousy, etc. (i mean it can still happen but it'll be from other things and not just because one is the leader and what-not)
YG really took their time with this, keep this goodness going
BlackPink give me everything i want from a girgroup. They all beautiful and talented, can sing, dance, rap & serving visuals. I'm shook by Jisoo voice, she has such a nice tone. I waited for them sice 2k12 and they don;t let me down. I love Whistle more than Boombayah, but both songs are BOPS and honestly nobody have a reason to hate on them. Let them debut in peace. Can;t wait for live stages.
9MUSES announced their showcase then later YG announced BIGBANG press conference at the same time and same hour. 9MUSES A had to pushed back the showcase.
Jun.K announce his showcase of his album, later YG announced BlackPink press conference JunK pushed back.
And both time YG invited all the journalists to his things even the small ones that was going for 9MUSES A.
People say that YG strategy is to kill off the concurrence at any cost to be the only one at the top. JYP and Star Empire both already confirmed that YG didn't event tried to contact them.
They put as example SM who announced Taemin showcase at the same time than Astro, SM contacted Fantagio, And resulted to pushed Taemin Up to 1 hour and Astro pushed back to 1 hour to not overlap and having journalists at both showcases.
That's messy but def something I'd expect from YG,
Also it definitely makes me think the reason BP took so long was because he was waiting for Red Velvet to announce a date so he could pull that with him. Imagine the mess that'd ensue in that case because neither of them would want to back down.
