"I suggest you change the title before the fanwars occur. It's amazing that BLACKPINK has the most views, but that doesn't necessarily make them more popular than BTS. The influence of BLACKPINK in the world can't be compared to the influence that BTS has," Audrey wrote.

"Youtube views do not mean anything. Try to see the album sales," RR said.

"Please change the title, if it's spread to more people, it will trigger a fanwars. And maybe my username is BTS, but I also like BLACKPINK. And you can't mention one band is more popular than the other just because of Youtube views," said username U17482161.
