YG Entertainment Accused Of Sabotaging BLACKPINK’s Jisoo

On February 14th, Jisoo released her album Amortage with the title track “earthquake.”

YG was gatekepping jisoo so hard like he knew the potential she had but he never wanted the world to see her potential. I am so glad she left ygent as a soloist 😭pic.twitter.com/F7MeFmIROK

I said this about every member, but yg really held back jisoo the most out of the other members. through this album, I could hear more of her amazing vocals, what she's capable with her voice, see how creative jisoo is, and see another side of jisoo. I'm so proud of her
