• "What was the production team thinking??" — TREASURE's surprising 'skinship' scenes in latest YouTube episode baffle fans

    Fans are scratching their heads over a recent twist in TREASURE's original content on YouTube.

    On an online forum, netizens are talking about a recent episode from TREASURE's exclusive variety show on YouTube, 'TREASURE Map.' In this episode, the members decided to playfully imitate famous male leads from K-dramas.

    What's causing the confusion? Well, it turns out that in this video, there are moments of 'skinship' between the members and a female actress. This unexpected addition has left many fans wondering why the production team made this choice.

    One fan shared their thoughts on Twitter, saying, "Who thought it was a good idea to include this kind of content for fans?"

    Other users also chimed in with their confusion, with comments like:

    "???"

    "Is this really what they planned for their YouTube channel?"

    "What's the reason behind this bold move?"

    "I don't even like it when they do this elsewhere, but on their YouTube channel?"

    "It was only those two members; the rest was cute."

    "Are you sure she isn't just another member dressed up as a girl?"

    "Why feature an actress in content meant for fans who just want to see the members?"

    "The video wasn't even that entertaining."

    "What was the production team thinking?"

    "I have to talk to the writers behind TREASURE Map Season 3; it's boring except for one episode."

    "Please don't give us behind-the-scenes footage next week; we don't need it."

    "I wonder what kind of fans actually like this content."

    "This isn't a web drama, so why did they do this?"

    "The entire concept of this episode was strange."

    "I'd understand if fans were upset."

    "It was just really boring to begin with."

  • BLACKPINK’s Lisa Opens Up About the Toughest Part of Being a CEO and How She Handles Budget Issues

    BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently revealed the challenges of being the CEO of her own company, LLoud, and shared some behind-the-scenes insights into the struggles of managing her own business.

    In a February 28th video uploaded to the YouTube channel Zip Daesung, Lisa sat down as a guest and opened up about her journey as a one-person CEO.

    During the shoot, as Lisa was getting her hair touched up, Daesung casually asked, "Have you been working with this crew for a long time?" to which Lisa replied, "Over a year. Ever since I started my company." She was referring to LLoud, the agency she founded just last year.

    While discussing her experiences, Lisa added, "It’s fun. Of course, there are difficult parts," but quickly shifted the conversation, jokingly saying, "Aren’t you getting touched up?"

    Daesung laughed and explained that his stylist wasn’t around at the moment, "The person who does that is off work. They’ll come back later after working nearby. It’s a bit more flexible." He joked further, "But we only pay for the time they’re here, and if they’re not here, we don’t pay for that time."

    Lisa responded humorously, "I don’t think that’s bad. It’s good. Then, please step out for a moment. I don’t need any touch-ups." Her playful remark lightened the mood.

    The conversation turned more serious when Daesung asked, "Do you ever feel like a CEO? Do you realize how much money goes out in unexpected places? Do you think, 'Oh, the company paid for this'?"

    Lisa responded honestly, saying, "The music video costs are insane. It’s no joke." She went on to explain that managing the costs for music videos can be overwhelming, especially when you’re running a business alone.

    Daesung agreed, commenting, "Yeah, both for us and for BLACKPINK, there’s a certain scale we’re used to from YG. The music itself is that kind of style, right?" He then asked, "When making a music video, do you just say, 'Can you please lower the cost?'"

    Lisa didn’t hesitate to answer, saying, "Yes, I always ask them to reduce it." She elaborated, "I talk about the budget and ask for help. But it always ends up exceeding the budget. We just want to do our best. We want to meet the expectations."

    It’s clear that Lisa’s commitment to her work goes beyond the financials, always striving to meet high expectations despite the challenges that come with running a company.
