BTS and BLACKPINK are the two top Kpop groups currently. Not only do they possess high popularity with a large number of fans, both groups also cover many fields and have achieved many admirable domestic and international achievements.
For many fans, BTS and BLACKPINK seem to be the two most successful male and female idol groups in Kpop at the moment. Therefore, in a context where BTS's future has been determined to continue while BLACKPINK is still open to staying in YG, many fans expressed regret that in the coming years, it will be difficult to have a new group. Who can stand on par with BTS?
Below is what netizens are discussing about the latest contract events of the two top Kpop groups today:
It cannot be denied that BTS is currently leading Kpop with a series of "huge" achievements and global influence. BTS's No. 1 position in Kpop is recognized by fans and many artists in the industry also admire the group for this.
But while BTS is considered the King Of Kpop, BLACKPINK is not far behind as fans think they also deserve the position of Queen of Kpop. Putting BLACKPINK and BTS on the same scale is not a new story in Kpop, but here, we only consider the positive aspects of both Asia's top stars, the pride of ḳöŕệä.
Kpop fans believe that with the appearance of BLACKPINK, both BTS and BLACKPINK have made Kpop reach as far in the world as we can see at the present time. In fact, there is no competition between BTS and BLACKPINK because the two groups themselves are completely different, and they even have a mutually beneficial relationship.
In recent years, BTS and BLACKPINK members have also appeared together as brand ambäṩṩadors of many high-end fashion, jewelry, appliances, etc. brands. This pairing is very rare in Kpop and only the moment of collaboration between BTS and BLACKPINK ѕнσ¢кs the Kpop community.
However, these days, the issue of reunion and group contracts of both top Kpop groups makes fans feel regretful. While HYBE claims that all 7 BTS members agreed to sign a contract extension with the management company after their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service, it also means that BTS will return as a group in 2025, respectively, BLACKPINK's future is unclear.
According to Sport Seoul, Rosé is the first member of BLACKPINK to re-sign a contract with YG while the remaining 3 members are expected to leave the old management company after their contracts expire. There are even rumors that Lisa will sign a contract with a record label in the US and the value of this contract is up to 60 billion won, Jisoo will sign a contract with an actor management company and follow her filming career...
Although BLACKPINK may not have re-signed with YG, the members are said to be discussing with the management company about the "working together" strategy to continue projects under the BLACKPINK brand. More specifically, despite signing a contract with another company, the girls still participate in group activities and promote for at least 6 months per year. But even so, the Kpop community still feels surprised and worried because it means that it will be difficult for BLACKPINK to maintain group activities due to the differences in the members' schedules.
In response to this news, fans made many comments related to regret that the era when both BTS and BLACKPINK were the pillars of Kpop is about to päṩṩ. In the future, when BTS maintains complete group activities, many people believe that it will be difficult to find another "BLACKPINK" that can be compared with BTS. Especially when neither JYP nor SM can maintain the stable activities of groups of the same generation as BTS and BLACKPINK.
This topic is becoming a prominent topic of discussion in the online community, receiving many comments:
- YG aren’t serious! Bright Music knowing how important BTS is to their company got them to renew even thou their contract wasn’t up yet but YG can’t get Blackpink who generate about 85% of their income to renew their contracts.
- If blackpink didn't renew their contract, I doubt they will be another group armys will view as worthy enough to be their competition and vice versa. Exo is good, but it can't be them, twice is equally good, but just no. It's got to be The BTS and The Blackpink only
- Despite the hatred between blinks and armys, I've seen how they keep each other on their toes and I like it. It's like their only goal is to surpäṩṩ each other. The competition is nice, but the unhealthy drama it comes with is unnecessary
- Not need to compare BTS and Blackpink in everything thing anymore because BTS renew while BLACKPINK don't. In the future it is hard to see BLACKPINK 4
- BTS and BLACKPINK is the best group kpop ever. nobody can be them. KING & QUEEN
- I’m so sick of them arguing over who’s the best and better group they’re both amazing groups and their fans know that. But in 2025, we have King but no Queen, Twice is good but not enough
- the best kpop groups are bts blackpink and no group can replace them. I consider that BLACKPINK will have not much time stay together in the future because they are both busy for their own schedule and career
- You see the case of 2NE1? They need 7 years to be at the same stage and I think that it could happen with BLACKPINK. BTS now have no competitor on chart
- It is absolutely true, almost all a̾m̾e̾r̾i̾c̾ans know bts and blackpink. Unless you’re a Kpop Stan that’s all the groups you know. None of the new groups are even remotely on the same level where someone who don’t listen to Kpop knows them
- BTS and BLACKPINK being the best kpop groups ever to exist. I am scared that we got no King and Queen like them in the future
- I like the way they call BTS and BLACKPINK as King and Queen. They truly deserve this title but the Queen will leave soon...
