June 13 was not a happy day for BLACKPINK fans as Jennie apologized on her Instagram story for not being able to complete the group's recent Melbourne concert. Many fans reported seeing her as tired, with no energy, and looking "sickly" in many of her recent performances. We break down why we think Jennie's apology was outrageous. In a heartfelt message, Jennie wrote: "Melbourne Blinks, I'm so sorry I wasn't able to finish the show on Sunday. I'm doing my best to recover atm. Your understanding and support means the world to me. Thank you to everyone who came to our Melbourne show. Love you guys!" Fans voiced their concerns over the sudden exit off stage during the June 11 concert which caused the three remaining members to finish the act. Although her absence left many fans disappointed, many expressed words of support and encouragement on Twitter. "Finally!!!!! No need to apologize my baby. You need to prioritize yourself. Feel better soon!" "She doesn't need to apologize, we understand you my love, i hope you feel better soon, we miss you so much, get well soon our beloved, iloveyouuu!" "She and her agency should NOT be so greedy! She's got so much going on at the same time: World tour, Film, Fashion shows, etc. I mean, come on!" BLACKPINK is currently in the middle of a grueling "Born Pink" concert schedule which consists of 9 legs and 62 shows, many of which are back-to-back. The group is currently in France to do one show in Saint-Denis and will head off to North America for 5 more shows to finish the last leg of the concert schedule. Why was this outrageous? Many K-pop fans were outraged by why Jennie should have to apologize for her health. As a true professional, we feel that it was very kind of her to apologize to her fans for not showing up while many patiently waited and paid for their tickets. We also feel that she gave a great explanation to explain why she had to miss the performances, due to her lack of good health. Fans understood her reasons and appreciated her apology. What we feel is outrageous is the fact that K-pop idols are put in a position where their health is in jeopardy . With such a grueling concert schedule, it seems that Jennie has not had time to recover in between shows and traveling long distances. Alongside diet restrictions , it could add to the lack of energy shown during her performances. What do you think about K-pop idols and their health issues? What do you think entertainment companies should do? Let us know in the comments below and share this with people you know! #blackpinkinmelbourne #blackpinkinaustralia

Each country has different rules and ways to show respect, and BLACKPINK ’s  Jennie  has gained praise for her behavior when visiting a place of worship in Saudi Arabia while on their world tour! K-pop idols have many fans from all countries and nations around the world, so they recently have been traveling a lot to see their fans as it is difficult for many of their fans to go to Korea. Today's topic is about BLACKPINK members who have traveled to many countries during their recent "Born Pink" world tour! BLACKPINK recently held their concert in Saudi Arabia on January 20th, 2023, it's their first time performing in an Arab country. For the first time, the Saudi Arabia government specially decorated its towers and areas with pink for BLACKPINK in preparation for the BLACKPINK concert! It is how the city of Riyadh welcomes BLACKPINK. Fans were concerned about what BLACKPINK would wear as Saudi Arabia is a very conservative country and the group's usual concert outfits are quite revealing. A lot of fans loved the fact that BLACKPINK changed some of their outfits to suit Riyadh culture and fans praised them for it! Blackpink in Riyadh by a Twitter user @UK_BLINKS On the other hand, some fans compared BLACKPINK to the new K-pop girl group NewJeans as the band was more modest and showed more respect than BLACKPINK. This made them question "Which of them was the best in Saudi Arabia?" But in the end, both groups deserved to be labeled as "the best" since they were respectable to the culture and adjusted their clothing to suit it! After BLACKPINK performed in Saudi Arabia, Jennie posted a picture of herself wearing a hijab on Instagram saying: " Exploring while touring 🌏 " After that Jennie posted that post, she has continually gone viral for her stunning outfits. She was especially receiving praise for the changes she implemented during the Riyadh concert, and her respect for the mosque by wearing hijab in it. She was also so remarkable while performing with her acting, her cuteness, and or course, her outfit! Is your favorite K-pop idol respective to local cultures?

You might know the BTS hit song " Mikrokosmos" , but you might not know the man who wrote it. We dive into the musical genius behind K-pop's global superstar group BTS' hit songs! Up until now, you have probably not heard the name " Marcus McCoan ". However, this UK musician has written songs that have been featured on two BTS albums and both have reached number one in the UK charts! When I heard this, I was very surprised as Korea prides itself on K-pop and everything related to K-culture, so why were these songs chosen? This all started with a call on New Year's Eve when Marcus was invited to a meeting with a manager for the band BTS. Marcus was told that he had only a 48-hour deadline to finish a batch of songs which would then get listened to by the BTS management, which totaled around 10 songs. This was a big task as creating music is often done over several months, if not years, so to hear this I was very shocked! Later, the songs were submitted, and one from the batch was chosen — and not the one he had thought most likely. For me, I usually find that this is the case, when you look at other artists, the more successful songs are often the ones with the less work that has gone into the production, for example, "Angles" by UK artist Robbie Williams. BTS management also debated using a second track from the demos that were sent over to them a couple of months before, which was also accepted pending the production finish. If I had a call like this I would be in total shock and to have a worldwide known band such as BTS request two of my songs which would reach over 50 million people I think it's a fantastic opportunity! I also think that it is great that a UK songwriter was chosen to write two tracks for BTS, as it shows that the K-pop industry is open to collaborating and using an international influence, which of course will help them become more successful overseas and be known in a global market, but this also gives opportunities to musicians overseas to gain recognition in Korea. Now his co-writing and production work is on both of BTS' best-selling albums titled "Map of the Soul: Persona", and "Map of the Soul: 7" which sold 3.69 million and 5 million copies respectively. In addition to his signwriting expertise for the band, his vocals also appear on one of the songs, "Mikrokosmos", which has almost 50 million hits on YouTube, which is an outstanding number! Let's take a look at that hit song! He’s even watched BTS live and heard his vocals being played. It’s a confidence booster that makes you feel a bit validated and what you're doing is right. At least it would be for me! Let us know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below. #BTS #Mikrokosmos #MarcusMcCoan #kpopmusic #UKartist
