📢 Attention @Le_Parisien! As dedicated #BLACKPINK fans (BLINKs), we're disappointed by your recent article. BLACKPINK's electrifying two-hour show delighted us, but your publication's biased tone didn't do justice to their incredible performance. The opening caption of the article itself sets a discouraging tone, portraying a biased view towards the event, suggesting that the show did not meet your publication's approval while ignoring the enthusiasm and joy of the fans who attended the two-hour performance. It is essential for journalists to approach their reporting with objectivity and fairness, especially when covering entertainment events that have a significant impact on fans and the artists involved. Furthermore, the description of "lots of tears" from "loud" fans and focusing on "teenage girls" with "garters visible under mini-skirts" demonstrates a blatant disregard for respectful and inclusive reporting. Such language not only reinforces harmful stereotypes but also contributes to a misogynistic and sexist narrative. It is essential to treat concert-goers and artists with the respect they deserve, regardless of their gender or age. The comparison made between BLACKPINK and BTS as a "male equivalent" is deeply problematic and undermines the hard work, talent, and achievements of both groups. Each group deserves recognition and appreciation for their unique contributions to the global music industry, and pitting them against each other only fuels unnecessary competition and division among fans. Moreover, casting doubt on BLACKPINK's ability to fill the Stade De France is an unjustifiable assumption. BLACKPINK has a massive and dedicated fan base worldwide, and their accomplishments speak for themselves. It is unfair and disrespectful to question their ability to achieve success and fill large venues. Additionally, the denial of the stadium being full and the implication of covering parts of the stands with cloth, along with empty sections, without proper evidence, raises concerns about the credibility of the reporting. Journalists should ensure accuracy and provide factual information to their readers, rather than making unfounded claims that may harm an artist's reputation. We urge Le Parisien to reflect on the impact of such reporting and to take responsibility for any harm caused by the article's content. As a reputable publication, it is crucial to acknowledge mistakes and issue a formal apology to BLACKPINK, their fans, and the wider public who may have been affected by this article. Furthermore, I hope you will take this opportunity to commit to responsible and unbiased reporting in the future. LE PARISIEN RESPECT BLACKPINK LE PARISIEN APOLOGIZE @BLACKPINK
