Did BLACKPINK use AI in Jump music video teaser? Girl group receives major flak for 'painfully obvious' editing
Why is BLACKPINK receiving backlash from fans for Jump music video teaser?
The popular JYP Entertainment girl group commenced the promotional campaign for their upcoming single Jump on July 7. They dropped a 30-second teaser of the track, to give a sneak peak into what to expect from the new music video. But some fans started a hate train around the video, accusing it to be AI-generated. As per them, Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo were almost unrecognizable due to the heavily edited visuals.
BLACKPINK's Jump teaser's Billboard scene sparks speculations of being AI-generated
The focus was particularly drawn to the scene where the quintet featured on massive digital billboards, high above the ground. A Reddit-user alleged that "Its so painfully obvious it's AI" and said "it's not good." Another accused YG Entertainment for not even trying to make the girls look like themselves." Many even felt that the BLACKPINK members looked like other K-pop artists due to their faces being distorted with the use of AI.
Increasing usage of AI in the K-pop industry
Some fans used the Jump teaser as a means to bring forth the conversation of increasing AI-usage in K-pop music videos. Many perceive it as a threat to the value of human artistry, arguing that it demeans the hard work and skill that illustrators, and other professionals bring to their craft. By opting for such graphics, companies might be sacrificing the unique qualities that human creativity offers, for cheap labour.
This could lead to a loss of authenticity and depth in the content, ultimately affecting the company's ability to deliver high-quality work that resonates with audiences.

Sung-jae to Sung Jin-woo: Byeon Woo-seok to lead Solo Leveling live-action series
The 'Lovely Runner' breakout star Byeon Woo-seok has officially been cast as Sung Jin-woo in the live-action adaptation of 'Solo Leveling'. The announcement, confirmed by Netflix on July 10 marks a major leap for the actor, whose emotional performance in 'Lovely Runner' made him one of 2024's most talked-about Korean Woo-seok steps into one of the most iconic fantasy roles of the modern webtoon era, the 'weakest hunter' turned near-mythical shadow monarch, Sung Jin-woo. Originally created by writer Chugong and illustrated by the late artist Jang Sung-rak (also known as Dubu), 'Solo Leveling' has evolved from a web novel to a chart-topping webtoon and most recently, an anime sensation. (Credit: X/netflix) advertisementFans believe this live-action adaptation 'one of the biggest tests' for the growing trend of K-content adaptations. For Woo-seok, the challenge lies not just in mastering Sung Jin-woo's brooding transformation but also in matching the expectations of fans. While the production timeline and full cast are yet to be revealed, one can feel assured that if done right, 'Solo Leveling' live-action series could mark a major milestone in the evolution of Korean fantasy storytelling onscreen. And with Byeon Woo-seok in the lead, the project may just level up the standards for future India, 'Solo Leveling' was among the most-watched anime premieres of 2024, with Crunchyroll reporting a sharp spike in South Asian viewership during its initial weeks. The series also trended on social media platforms like X formerly known as Twitter and Instagram, especially among Gen Z anime and K-drama fans. So, this announcement seems timelier than those unversed, Byeon Woo-seek originally began his career as a model and made early appearances in supporting roles in dramas like 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' and 'Search: WWW'. His breakthrough came with the youth drama 'Record of Youth' opposite Park Bo-gum, where he stood out as the charming but complex second lead. But it was his lead role in '20th Century Girl' and, more recently, the heartfelt and fantastical 'Lovely Runner' that solidified his place as one of Korea's most sought-after new-generation actors.- Ends
