dương hương |

Jennie and Blackpink members' successive announcements of solo album releases with a large number of songs have caused YG Entertainment to be criticized.

Recently, Jennie (Blackpink) announced that her first studio album titled "Ruby" will be released on March 7, 2025.

The female idol made fans extremely excited when she announced collaborations with 6 international artists on this album, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Dominic Fike, Doechii, FKJ and Kali Uchis.

Notably, the number of songs in the album “Ruby” is up to 15, including the previously released single “Mantra”. Currently, Jennie’s album has the largest number of songs among the solo albums of Blackpink members.

The fact that the Blackpink girls are active is a good thing for Blink - the Blackpink fan community. On the contrary, a part of the fans expressed disappointment towards YG Entertainment.

Many opinions say that since the 4 members terminated their individual contracts with YG to develop their solo careers (late 2023), they have been more active and productive in music than ever.

Fans criticized YG for "restraint" the working and creative abilities of Blackpink members during their 8 years at YG.

A Twitter post that received a lot of interaction showed that in 8 years under YG's management (2016-2023), Blackpink released 32 songs. If counting solo songs, there are only about 42 songs.

After separating from YG, Rose released the 12-track album “rosie” in November 2024. Lisa will release the 12-track album “Alter Ego” at the end of February. Jennie also announced the release of the 15-track album “Ruby” in March.

The total number of songs in the solo album of 3 members Rose, Lisa, Jennie is 39 songs, not including Jisoo's upcoming album that has not been revealed. Many fans are surprised because this number is more than the total music products that Blackpink has released in the past 8 years.

Blackpink has released 2 studio albums (The Album, Born Pink), but each album only has 8 songs, while full albums usually have 10 or more songs.

Previously, YG was mocked by international fans when Taylor Swift released the album “The Tortured Poets Department” with 31 songs, almost equivalent to the entire career of the group Blackpink.
