BLACKPINK is facing backlash after dropping the music video for their comeback track “JUMP” on July 11 (KST). The video has been slammed for feeling rushed and straying from BLACKPINK’s usual style, especially with a new director at the helm.
Fans quickly pointed out the lack of choreography, making many suspect the video was finalized before the full concept was locked in.
