Fans of BLACKPINK are outraged after reading an article concerning member Jisoo. “Respect Jisoo” is trending on Twitter today, as supporters rally to protect the singer after remarks made by Rolling Stone magazine. The piece, headed The Apex of a K-Pop Girl Group Fit Out in Glamor and Attitude, was intended to praise the group’s accomplishments, but fans had a different reaction. The article contrasted Jisoo to the other members, claiming that her abilities were inferior to the others.
Fans demand that Rolling Stone apologizes for posting a derogatory statement about Jisoo.
Today, BLACKPINK became a subject of conversation on Twitter. Over the weekend, the South Korean edition of Rolling Stone published a story on the K-pop girl trio. Jisoo, the quartet’s oldest member, is described as the least gifted in the article. The piece definitely enraged supporters, resulting in widespread indignation on Twitter. Reporter Kim Young-Dae wrote about the group’s anticipated return, among other things, in the piece. Young-dae, on the other hand, was harsh in several remarks, doubting Jisoo’s skill and role in the group.
Apologize to JISOO ! She has done nothing wrong to deserve all this crap ;
She’s one of the kindest prettiest and talented celebrities I’ve ever seen in this whole universe >>>
Well, People throw rocks at shining things after all 😏

The remark that enraged supporters was,
“Although she does not have the most exceptional skill in the group as a singer or dancer, her development is much more visible.”
The magazine wanted to commend the girl group member and demonstrate the singer’s improvement over the years, but instead compared her to the other members and called her overall skill into doubt. The reporter discusses each of BLACKPINK’s members in the article. The writer referred to the singer, who is also the heroine of the K-drama Snowdrop, as an “embodiment of splendor” before making a backhanded joke about her ability.
The mistake was soon brought to the magazine’s attention, and that specific remark has subsequently been removed. The group’s fanbase, Blinks, is continuing its online effort to get Rolling Stone to recognize and apologize for the remark. Many have questioned the magazine’s credibility, asking how such a large brand could allow such a statement to be published.
Fans have also rushed to correct the magazine, reminding them of all the characteristics that distinguish the artist. Meanwhile, some fans are concerned about how the singer may be affected by this remark. She has previously discussed her mental health difficulties. Jisoo of BLACKPINK is one of the world’s most prominent K-pop stars right now, and she’s also creating a name for herself in the fashion industry. She chatted with Rolling Stone earlier this month about her aspirations, her single vision, and her mental health.
