BLACKPINK Fans Stir Debate Over Beyoncé Viewership Claims: Netizens’ Reactions

A recent post on popular Korean forum Pann has ignited a heated fan debate, all stemming from a bold claim involving none other than BLACKPINK and Beyoncé.

Titled “BLACKPINK Fans, Is This for Real??”, the post sarcastically challenges some Blinks (BLACKPINK fans) who have been claiming that the group’s Coachella performance viewership rivaled or even surpassed Beyoncé’s legendary numbers.

The original poster (OP) writes, BLACKPINK fans are going wild, even going as far as to criticize Beyoncé — lol. Like, if that 250k figure is incorrect, then BLACKPINK would have to be ranked higher than Beyoncé, right? So why can’t anyone answer that? Do you seriously believe they had 250 million concurrent viewers?”

The post also highlights a particular screenshot written in Portuguese, where the term “mil” (Portuguese for “thousand”) is used. The OP explains that some fans might be misinterpreting the data due to language differences, “That screenshot below is in Portuguese, and in that language, ‘mil’ (thousand) is used instead of ‘k,’ so the numbers actually match.”

Comments on Pann:

  1. Wow, this is the first time I’ve actually witnessed people using fake accounts (part-timers) in real time lol. How does a post with only 3 upvotes get comments that suddenly gain 10 likes per minute? Seriously, HYBE is running this anti-BLACKPINK campaign in the most shameless way possible;;;
  2. Look at these “collab stans” manipulating upvotes and featured comments again, just because their group got completely overshadowed by a BLACKPINK solo member in terms of Coachella buzz lol. No matter what you try, BLACKPINK is still the first Asian act to headline Coachella — and that’s a fact. According to Rolling Stone, BLACKPINK holds the #1 spot in Coachella history with a total of 250 million cumulative live views.
  3. Ah lol seriously, ever since Coachella, BLACKPINK’s been hitting that trigger button so hard — it’s hilarious how certain company’s fans are spamming posts nonstop. It’s so obvious who you are, it’s just straight-up funny ^^ Hey, just be honest and say you’re jealous of BLACKPINK lololololol.
  4. Why are BLACKPINK fans like that?
  5. BLACKPINK fans are seriously out of control.

This isn’t the first time BLACKPINK and Beyoncé have been indirectly compared. As two powerhouses in global pop culture with groundbreaking Coachella performances, the fanbase overlap and competition for bragging rights is almost inevitable.
