[Trigger Warning] Blackpink under fire for romanticising domestic abuse

Posted by ratmonster5,062 pts Tuesday, April 23, 2019


YG girl group Blackpink has been criticised by fans for a photoshoot in which they used make up to show black eyes, scratches and bruises on their faces.


The concept photos are from their physical album, Kill This Love. 

They were criticised for making light of domestic abuse towards women and using it for their aesthetic. 


What do you think?

Honestly the pictures are in bad taste. Obviously it isnt blackpink's fault but yg that made the concept. But it was unnecessary to make this in the first place considering there isnt a strong enough connection between the message of the album and the photos.

YG made a mistake in these..... Honestly, I wonder which creative director thought of this concept?
