BLACKPINK is reeling from a shocking wave of hacking incidents that have targeted their accounts across major music platforms, leaving fans and netizens on high alert. What started off as minor glitches has rapidly spiraled into a serious situation, jeopardizing the beloved K-pop group’s much-anticipated comeback with their new single "JUMP."

Previously, BLACKPINK's official profile suffered a distressing breach when their profile picture was mysteriously replaced with an image of KISS OF LIFE, linked to a controversy-filled past live broadcast. This hack seemed worryingly deliberate, accompanied by a caption referencing BLACKPINK's own history of controversy, including instances where members were accused of using the n-word in pre-debut song covers.

The attacks didn't stop there. In 2022, the preview video for their chart-topping track "Shut Down" was hijacked, showcasing an inappropriate animated clip instead of the expected content.

The latest hacking episode has reached new heights of disruption. Just as "JUMP" soared to No. 1 on Spotify Korea, the official credits for the track were bizarrely altered to unfamiliar artists named Blocky and Neriim. This shocking modification resulted in the song being yanked from major playlists and losing its autoplay spot, leading to an immense drop of over one million streams and a significant fall in the rankings.

But the chaos didn’t remain confined to Spotify. BLACKPINK’s music on Apple Music faced similar sabotage, with credits being changed to "The blackpink." Fans reported that the audio played at a rapid pace, and chart rankings were again impacted, forcing one song off the daily chart completely.

Even music identification app Shazam fell victim, displaying altered artist information that featured strange names instead of BLACKPINK.

As these alarming hacking incidents continue to unfold, fans can only wonder: what is the next move for BLACKPINK in the face of this digital turmoil?
