BLACKPINK‘s much-awaited comeback with DEADLINE is facing yet another backlash from fans.

The mini album, released on February 27 (KST), features five tracks: “Jump,” “Go,” Me and My,” “Champion,” and “Fxxxboy.” While “Jump” was already released as a digital single last year, the remaining new tracks received mixed responses from listeners.
The criticism of DEADLINE intensified after fans couldn’t help but notice the significantly sparse presence of Jisoo‘s vocals throughout the album.

According to fan analysis, while the entire EP runs for about 14 minutes and 53 seconds, Jisoo’s vocals account for 1 minute and 25 seconds.
For a 14mins53secs EP it is literally a crime that one member out of a 4 member girl group couldn’t even make it to 1m30secs in line distribution.
JUMP- 20.6s
‘GO’- 17s
‘Me and my’- 11s
‘Champion’- 8.9s
‘Fxxxboy’-28s

Many fans found it alarming, especially given that Jisoo is the lead vocalist of the group. They also pointed out that this is not a one-off incident but a pattern evident across multiple past releases.

I really want to be happy about this comeback because the MV is stunning and the girls all shined. I love them so much. But the way Jisoo keeps getting shorted breaks my heart every single time. This isn’t a one-off, it’s a pattern we’ve noticed for years. How do you have a… https://t.co/4GcLyDljbn
