Specifically, in the YouTube videos, the members are seen to use the n-word. The videos have raised conversations about the importance of cultural sensitivity and respect within all instances.

The alleged explained they were fired from YG, and that the company was rife with harassment, gender bias, and racism. These comments have spiked concern alongside the videos. Amidst the controversy, some dedicated BLINKS have taken to protecting BLACKPINK by filing copyright claims to get the videos removed from online platforms. Despite efforts, the videos have been spread on multiple platforms, amassing many views and criticism. ‘YG leaker’ has also posted a screen grab of multiple data folders, threatening to leak further content and data of entertainment companies including YG, SM, JYP, HYBE, CUBE, and more. Social media users have described this as the “end of K-pop.” YG and BLACKPINK have yet to comment on this controversy.

📢 Kim Soo-Hyun denies allegations of dating the late Kim Sae-Ron in an emergency press conference 📢

#KimSaeRon #KimSooHyun #Kdrama #KdramaNews
News Alert: Kim Soo-Hyun denies claims of dating Kim Sae-Ron when she was a minor An emergency press conference was held on 31 March and was attended by Kim Soo-Hyun and his legal representatives. He appeared tearful throughout as he explained that he dated Kim Sae-Ron for a year whilst she was an adult. This event follows mounting allegations against the actor from Kim Sae-Ron's family following her death on 16 February. Whilst he previously denied dating her, a YouTube channel, HoverLab, released exchanges between the two, alleging he had been dating her since she was underage. Although Kim Soo-Hyun amended his statement saying that he dated Kim Sae-Ron for a year as an adult, her family refuted these claims, holding a press conference where they revealed KakaoTalk messages from 2016. They claim that these messages were evidence of the two being in a romantic relationship since Kim Sae-Ron was in middle school. Kim Soo-Hyun refuted these claims, calling them "false testimonies and fabricated evidence." The actor also said that he underwent a formal verification process for the messages shown by her family and called for them to do the same. Kim Soo-Hyun also denied allegations of financial pressure following Kim Sae-Ron's drunk driving accident that left her with debt. At the end of the press conference, Kim Soo-Hyun's legal representative confirmed that they would be filing a criminal complaint and civil lawsuit against Kim Sae-Ron's family and HoverLab.
