Why are some people not willing to accept the fact that Blackpink are legendary?

They performed at coachella, sold the most albums of any girl group, have billions of views, and set records for most viewed music video in less than 24 hours more than once.

Why can't they accept Blackpink are legends in their own right?

They surpassed every girl group this year, this is a fact!

But people like to bring up like overall sales and stuff where I guess other girl groups are leading, I dunno why they deny that this year though, Blackpink dominated. It's probably jealousy, I can't think of another reason.

Probably because they've never gotten the "national gg" title like SNSD and Twice? Idk. But it's undeniable that this year they solidified their domination in every area (digitals, physicals, views, international popularity, etc).

Because Kpop and the Kpop fandom as a whole have a bad case of tall poppy syndrome.

Also it's because they come from YG, which houses a lot of trash people (not saying the girls are in that bunch btw), and hardly have as much of a discography as their contemporaries. Yet they're still able to break all these records.

smh. i blame yg for that. i know we blame yg for a lot of things, but while it is definitely smart to focus on international activities for bp, i feel like they kind of leave their domestic fans in the dark.

forgive me if i'm wrong, but in my opinion, the girls don't really have osts for themselves (neither does twice, but they also come back frequently and upload tons of content and often promote in variety shows), their variety show appearances are pretty sporadic, so we don't really see them much other than their instagram posts and advertisements. they have everything to solidify them as a national gg, but tbh, i'm starting to view them more as a global gg since they're often on american television, which isn't bad. but it's definitely interesting to think about to see how promotions can affect the way you view a group.

But people call other ggs like SNSD, 2NE1, Wonder Girls or even Twice legendary idk.

Minus twice,  they were there for a long time.  People always say this about older groups, specially when there was little competition then.

I think you hit the nail on the head. They've surpassed every other ggs both in domestic sales/streams and international but the fact that they barely promote in korean shows or variety don't give them enough domestic exposure to call them "national gg". Like you said Twice or (SNSD back then) appear much more in domestic media while Blackpink is indeed more marketed as a global group. Still, kpop fans should admit they're already legendary like Twice, BTS, EXO and others.

Yeah like, even though they really don't need to promote on variety shows since they're already a household name, it does reel in more fans and people, even the casual fans, would love to see more of their personalities. Not everyone watches the content they make for hardcore fans. They are pretty legendary and have achieved so much, but I think they can reach even higher heights if they were given more opportunities to promote outside of their albums. So many people have requested Rose to sing for their dramas, smh.

They are undeniably successful and will be remembered in the kpop history, duh. For me personaly, they almost don't seem like a kpop group at this point. Their huge popularity everywhere got rid of that "kpop factor". Another thing is their very limited discography makes it hard to catagorize them as "legendary" whatever the criteria for that term is. Also isn't it too early to call a 4 year old group legendary?

Their Korean chart numbers are the best among gg like for the last 2 years or more, it's not like they only chart well on Hot 100, about their activities, they don't even over promote in the US, I'm pretty sure there are like 3-4 groups that have more promotions than BP, they perform in one late night show and that's it...

Successful sure, legendary meh...in the end what brought fame to blackpink was that Lisa and Jennie are pretty and YG knows how to exploit unoriginal trendy concepts

You're ridiculous lol there are plenty of beautiful girls in kpop, a lot prettier than Lisa and Jennie. People always like to downgrade even their beauty as a group and always put other groups above them, but they're nowhere near as successful as them, why is that? 

People are just jealous. They're not even 5 years old as a group and have achieved so much. No other GG can compare now. They're on their own league, whether you like ir or not.

Yes bc lisa can dance like that, and is better than most female idol rappers in a language not native to her, purely bc of good looks.

Let's also undermine the fact that rose is a great dancer despite her vocal position and jennie can sing,rap, dance even if she may not be excellent in any of them.  Purely bc of good looks? Nah they got picked out for a reason,  and that is not only looks.

Why do you think YG signed a 10 years old American-Korean model? The answer is because he wants to make western Kpop with english speaking pretty girls that he can shape up to do anything he wants, this level of talent can be manufactured
