There's nothing that can stop BLACKPINK!

BLACKPINK's long-awaited second full-length album, "Shut Down", came out recently. When the song and its music video came out, it went straight to the top of the Bugs chart and its first week on Genie and MelOn. It also spread quickly, not just in Korea but all over the world.

In South Korea, the song quickly became the center of attention and a popular topic on forums and social media sites.

The music video got more than a thousand responses right away on a certain forum. Korean netizens had a lot to say about BLACKPINK and "Shut Down", that's for sure.

Many fans loved and praised BLACKPINK's new song, "Shut Down," but a few netizens didn't like it very much and can't help but compare it to "Pink Venom".

Korean netizens commented:

The song and MV are less interesting than I thought they would be.

The song was nice and clean, and it felt new.

You call this the main song?

Now YG is becoming tacky.

The MV was a tribute, and it was crazy good.

I didn't expect this to be so hip hop and old school… I like classical hip hop music, so this is right up my alley. And Lisa was dope

Wow, that song was so cool.

Pink Venom was way betterㅜㅜ The song was much too old.

It's real hip hop, and I liked it a lot.

This seems more like a title than Pink Venom.

I can't even pay attention to the song because it was so bad…

Pink Venom is better than this.

Pink Venom was better.

It sounds like a new song. When are they going to be on stage.

The MV was terrible, but Pink Venom was well-made.
