ERA.id - Stasiun TV di India "News NationTV" mendapat kecaman dari penggemar BLACKPINK. Itu terjadi karena setelah stasiun televisi tersebut menyiarkan berita mengenai konflik dengan China tetapi menampilkan klip BLACKPINK.
Dalam pemberitaan tersebut, stasiun TV di India memberi label 'Penari Telanjang dari China'.
Atas penayangan tersebut fan BLACKPINK India mengecam lewat Twitter.
This is a shameful act by a popular news channel degrading idols image and nationally broadcasting it on their segment ROCHAK ROMANCHAK. Also the news that has been displayed contains performance of Lisa and Jennie during their solo performance in 'In Your Area' concert. pic.twitter.com/Ih9IsIs0ZL

Dikutip dari Iwmbuzz, Sabtu (18/7/2020) produser dari program tersebut meminta maaf atas kesalahan menampilkan video BLACKPINK. Ia juga menjelaskan pihaknya telah menghapus video tersebut.
BLACKPINK sendiri bukan girlband yang berasal dari China namun merupakan girl grup K-Pop dari Korea Selatan.
