BLACKPINK‘s first official group teaser since 2022 has sparked confusion.

Yet, it was the group shot that sparked some criticism, despite being the first “official” BLACKPINK promotion photo since their last comeback.
When the photos were posted, while many fans were excited tpo have a new and official photo for the members after so long, others specifically hit back at the quality of the group shot. In particular, many thought it looked awkward and even accused YG Entertainment of using Photoshop due to the nature of the composition of members and the background.

Some netizens hit back because of the general poor quality, explaining that it seemed like YG had run out of money, and even compared it to “nugu” group concepts, rather than idols as popular and successful as BLACKPINK.
There’s something so nugu about this quality https://t.co/wOUnWL2MVr
