The showcase for Black Pink's debut single album 'Square One' was held on August 8 in Seoul Gangnam District's Shinsa-dong.
Member Jisoo said, "We did feel a bit burdened about being the first girl group to come out of YG in seven years but we will try our best to display our best selves. We will also do our best at live [performances] so we don't give our sunbaes a bad name."
Yang Hyun Suk, who was also present at the showcase, said, "Twenty years ago I debuted a group called Swi.T but the results weren't all that great. And seven years ago I debuted 2NE1. But today, it's Black Pink. Maybe that's why, but I do feel burdened and worried about launching a girl group in such a long time."

Yang Hyun Suk then revealed why 2NE1 hasn't come back yet, saying, "It's a bit tricky for 2NE1 to promote at the moment. But Black Pink is now YG's representative girl group to break the long hiatus. That's why I'm paying such painstaking, close attention to them."

What? Representative Girl Group? It's like saying, "2NE1 is old news, we have a new queens, Black Pink." I love Black Pink but to say that, it just stabs you in the heart as a blackjack. Uggh.. Why is YG like this towards her girl groups?

Musically, I think Yg is extremely talented. But with words and appealing to the media/fans, he sucks. "Black Pink is the new representative girl group" really just stabs you right in the feels

Fucking pissed, 2NE1 has such long hiatus (prob 1 of the reasons why Minzy left) and they don't go on variety or do get any solos either too.

???? ??? ?? Excuse me?? You're trying to replace 2ne1 with Blackpink? wtf is this? YG isn't even trying to reassure us that he still cares for 2ne1. It's been two freaking years since Bom's drug scandal. Because of the scandal Minzy left and now you're saying it's tricky for 2ne1 to promote? I'm so disappointed in YG right now. GD had a marijuana scandal, Seungri with his sex scandal and Daesung with his car crash... And you let Big Bang comeback and they're doing better than ever, but you can't do the same for 2ne1? You throw Bom in your stupid dungeon for Two FREAKING YEARS WHILE CONTINUOUSLY LEADING US ON ABOUT CL's AMERICAN DEBUT? GIVE ME A BREAK YG YOU DESTROYED 2NE1
