"Scammer": BLINKs enraged as YG drops a new theme for BLACKPINK THE GAME instead of The Girls OST

On July 31, 2023, YG Entertainment released a new photocard theme for BLACKPINK's BLACKPINK THE GAME. The theme features all four members of the group: Jisoo, Rosé, Jennie, and Lisa. The agency posted a video with the caption:

However, upon the release of the new photocard theme, fans expressed disappointment as they were eagerly waiting for the game's OST, The Girls, which the agency had announced would be released in July.

Previously, YG Entertainment apologized for the delay but BLINKs still haven't seen any sign of The Girls OST, leading to frustration among fans. They took to social media to express their outrage about the agency's perceived ignorance and called them "scammers."

"This is not what we waiting for": BLINKS wants YG Entertainment to release BLACKPINK's The Girls OST

As the wait for BLACKPINK's The Girls OST seems unending, fans are worried if YG Entertainment has given the song to other groups within the company. Others are deeply disappointed that the agency hasn't kept its promises. Some felt that the delay is preventing the group's music from reaching their fans, leading to accusations of gatekeeping.

Despite the stunning appearance of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé in the latest photocard theme for the game, only a few fans have praised their beauty. Meanwhile, many others continue to demand an explanation from YG Entertainment for the delay of the song.

Interestingly, some fans are sarcastically posting on social media, claiming that the agency released the music video teaser five years ago when in reality, it was released in May 2023.

While fans continue to enjoy playing the game, they are becoming increasingly irritated by the continuing delay of the OST from YG Entertainment. Some fans even say they will take action against the agency if they don't release the music in August.
