Divided Opinions: Who Is to Blame?

The response from fans revealed a split in opinions, particularly targeted towards YG Entertainment. Many expressed their anger, suggesting that the agency’s commitment to BLACKPINK’s upcoming comeback and tour may have hindered Jisoo’s attendance at the crucial event. Some of the comments circulating within online communities included:

“YG is terrible. She could attend her friends’ premieres but not her own?”
“They don’t deserve her.”
“I hate YG for this.”

Conversely, a segment of fans argued that the responsibility for the absence may lie with Jisoo herself, especially as she is now represented by her own agency, Blisoo. Supporters noted that it is possible she chose to focus on BLACKPINK’s comeback or had other personal commitments that dictated her decision.
