Is BLACKPINK better than its sunbae 2NE1?
Many people claimed that BLACKPINK is a quintessential group that comes once in a lifetime. However, it is 2NE1 that paved the road for the hoobae group. However, some netizens claim that if 2NE1 is the queen, BLACKPINK is the princess.
Here are the reasons why BLACKPINK is better than 2NE1.
BLACKPINK has two rappers, two singers
BLACKPINK has two rapper, Jennie and Lisa, as well as two singers, Jisoo and Rose. It is easier to divide the song parts. Initially, CL and Minzy are supposed to be the rappers for 2NE1, but over the years, CL has been getting almost all rap parts. This is probably due to CL's immense talent and Minzy's voice more apt for melody parts.
BLACKPINK has better visual
While YG Entertainment is known for accepting trainees mainly due to talent and not on the visual, it is undeniable that its popularity as an entertainment agency has attracted trainees, even the beautiful and talented ones. Netizens claimed that BLACKPINK has beautiful members in comparison with 2NE1 on their debut.
BLACKPINK All-Kill Song
BLACKPINK's title track "Whistle" dominated the music charts in Korea. The hyped debut made the song ranked at the top of the charts. Meanwhile, 2NE1 has a hyped debut, but they failed to take over the charts in the first week before they held their first performance. As mentioned, "Whistle" was only No. 1 among Melon, Mnet, Bugs, olleh, Soribada, Genie, Naver, and Monkey3 charts, but for iChart, their weekly ranking at the time was No. 29, while their real-time ranking was No. 4. On Sunday, the last day of the week, Black Pink became the 12th Korean musical act, right behind Sistar with "I Like That," to achieve a Perfect All-Kill, as reported by AllKpop.
