BLACKPINK‘s Spotify has been hacked, and the changes are related to recent controversies in the K-Pop industry.

On Spotify, BLACKPINK’s photo is from the “Shut Down” promotion.

Yet, while it still appears, when the page is refreshed, the image changes to a completely different group.

The photo is of KISS OF LIFE and was taken after a controversial live broadcast that was criticized for cultural appropriation.

Also, when scrolling to the description, while it still has the group’s photo from a past comeback, the words link back to BLACKPINK’s recent controversy when three of the members’ pre-debut videos saying the n-word were released.

Yet, netizens noticed it wasn’t just BLACKPINK’s account being hacked, as the solo members and groups like TREASURE and BABYMONSTER seemingly felt the impact. It led to the blame being put on YG Entertainment, especially considering it has not been long since the leaks.

There's something wrong with YG , a few days ago their files and clips of BP got leaked now the Spotify of their artist got hacked . And that company hasn't taken a single step against anything yet , not a single lawsuit to save their artist
