South Korean girl group BLACKPINK has a massive fan base across the world. Recently the fans of the girl gang were irked by an Indian News Channels comment. They soon slammed the channel and also asked for an apology. The reason behind their ire was the channel calling BLACKPINK girls as CHINESE STRIPPERS.
A few days ago, an Indian news channel aired a segment about a certain ritual in China/Taiwan. In the viral clip they claimed that strippers performed at the funeral rites in China. During the segment about ‘Chinese strippers’, the channel aired a video of BLACKPINK. The viral clip caught the attention of BLACKPINK fans who soon lashed out at the channel and demanded an apology.
The Official Indian BLACKPINK Fanbase tweeted, “This is a shameful act by a popular news channel degrading idols image and nationally broadcasting it on their segment ROCHAK ROMANCHAK. Also, the news that has been displayed contains the performance of Lisa and Jennie during their solo performance in ‘In Your Area’ concert.”
The news channel soon apologized and tweeted, “We stand by our story, however by mistake or call it a technical error, a wrong video got uploaded, we have withdrawn the said video clip the moment we came to know about it. We have been honest to our stories, what we air, would always stand by it. We regret this tech error.”
