The Korea Times

By Cho Hae-min
Fans of K-pop girl group Blackpink – known as Blinks – have protested against the quartet’s agency YG Entertainment for what they see as lack of promotion and poor management.
The fans sent a truck carrying the sign “Blinks Demand for Blackpink” to an area near the YG Entertainment building in Seoul on Monday.
This year the group released their second EP, Kill This Love , on April 5, which reached No 24 on the US Billboard 200 chart. They also became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Coachella, the popular music festival in California.

Although YG Entertainment said each member would release solo tracks, the group did not release another album after the second EP.
The group made their debut on August 8, 2016, but have so far only released 13 songs, prompting fans to take action.
In response, YG Entertainment said the group were working on a new album to be released early next year.
