BLACKPINK “New” Video Released Stirs Up Major Ridicule

BLACKPINK‘s “new” video to celebrate the Lunar New Year has stirred up major ridicule.

The members of BLACKPINK

February 17 is Lunar New Year, and while many groups are sharing messages through social media, BLACKPINK’s sparked confusion because their “new” video was linked to their game.

The video showed the members seperately in beautiful hanboks, with messages to celebrate the new year.

The video garnered attention when it was posted online.

Yet, the video sparked backlash and ridicule.

While some thought it looked like AI, others pointed out that while it is meant to celebrate Lunar New Year in 2026, by looking at the members and their visuals, it seemed like the video was filmed quite a few years ago.

Not a dang 5 year old video
