BLACKPINK is under coordinated cyberattack: their Spotify, Apple Music, Shazam, and Instagram accounts have all been compromised, affecting their new single “JUMP.”
Hacking Hits Multiple Platforms
Spotify Korea listings for “JUMP” showed fake artist names like “Blocky” and “Neriim,” dropping the track from major playlists and costing over one million streams. Apple Music credits were manipulated to read “The blackpink,” and audio playback issues were reported. Shazam metadata also displayed incorrect artist information.
Fan Outrage Grows
BLINKs and netizens are expressing intense frustration as streaming rankings collapse and metadata errors persist. One fan wrote, “Whoever is hacking BLACKPINK’s streaming accounts needs to stop. This is becoming beyond pathetic.” Despite the chaos, YG Entertainment has yet to issue an official statement.
Impact on “JUMP” Chart Momentum
With “JUMP” initially topping Spotify Korea, the hacking disrupted autoplay positioning and playlist features—leading to a steep decline in visibility and engagement.
Next Steps and Outlook
The absence of a response from YG Entertainment leaves fans anxious for resolution. Questions remain over future security protocols for BLACKPINK’s digital presence.
