Fans quickly noticed that Rami was missing from the teaser, with many connecting it to her hiatus. Rami was initially announced to be on hiatus due to health issues, saying she would not participate in the group’s tour dates until the end of June.

However, many were left angry over YG Entertainment not being clear about her hiatus, though glad Rami is resting to recover.

On a serious note YG didn't even cared to post a statement about Rami's hiatus from the group cb.The last update we got about her was more than a month ago that too of her being absent from the world tour.Just dropping the poster like she doesn't even matter?I'm so disappointed. pic.twitter.com/jfPxhDUFk8

YG Entertainment was also criticized over the management of its artists overall, with BABYMONSTER’s announcement triggering questions as to why there was little news of BLACKPINK‘s comeback and tour though they are quickly approaching.

so sick of YG pushing all their groups down our throats right before they drop one lousy blackpink single https://t.co/gZTPspLBMP pic.twitter.com/3tzHhMP2el
