As we've known, Blackpink and BTS are the
two leading groups in the Kpop industry.
BTS and Blackpink are rivals
when constantly competing for achievements
on all fronts.
Therefore, the two will limit mentioning each
other
to avoid causing unnecessary controversy.
However, sometimes they still get questions
about each other.
Previously, Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa had a
hard time receiving questions about BTS
from the American media saying, "Do you like
BTS?".
The reaction of BLACKPINK members at that
time was to pretend not to hear that,
and go straight into the car with confused
eyes because of the sensitive question.
BLACKPINK members' handling is highly appreciated
by netizens.
Many people believe that they should not answer
questions about their opponents
because it is easy to cause controversy no
matter what they say.
Blackpink responded confidently when compared
to TWICE.
Blackpink once talked about TWICE at the first
showcase in Japan.
Before the show, the girls held a short interview
with the Japanese media.
The Japanese media asked if Blackpink knew
about TWICE,
and Jisoo replied with a smile, "I think both
groups belong to different girl groups styles,
so we want to show our own colors.
We want to do our best ".
Meanwhile, Jennie pointed out Blackpink's
special "strength",
"We are a group with a great difference between
before and after going on stage.
When we go on stage, we are as strong as black,
like our group name,
but when we are off stage, we also have a
cute image like normal girls.
So I want our fans to be able to enjoy the
difference of Blackpink ".
The answer of the 2 Blackpink members was
praised for their cleverness
because they did not talk about TWICE,
but still showed the characteristics of BLACKPINK.
BTS also received a difficult question in
an interview by Entertainment Tonight.
BTS still accepted this question and gave
very convincing answers.
RM and Suga's clever answers made netizens
really admire
when they both praised Lady gaga but did not
mention BLACKPINK
to avoid causing unnecessary controversy.
After the interview was broadcast,
many fans were dissatisfied with this question,
so Entertainment Tonight apologized and cut
this part in the re-uploaded version.
