>>7802444>If blackpink can leave such a huge footprint on the us music industry, one could argue that if they genuinely wanted to compete in it they can do it. Music shows/sk charts aren't even on the same level.Well, they did sign with UMG and it seems they are taking steps to get into western market, for example the amount of english lyrics in the song. Even the release time for this particular MV was set so that it was good time for western audience.
However I am pretty sure when it comes to physical sales, Korea is still their biggest market and the promotions on music shows and winning trophies carries a certain clout for the group that is just essential for kpop groups.
>>7802461>But you're probably right, seungri probably caused them to push back their comeback.Maybe they would have released the song normally despite that (maybe even to cover it up) but YG's taxes probably were too much and it got pushed. Shame, really. I'd love at least 2 weeks of photos and fancams from MBC Music core. Their stuff is top notch.
