An Indian news channel called News NationTV is under fire for how they portrayed BLACKPINK on national TV.
Here's the thing: there’s currently a dispute between India and China. News NationTV aired China-related stories because of the ongoing anti-Chinese sentiments in India.
In one of its segments called "Rochak Romanchak" which means Thrilling Content, News NationTV showed a clip of performance of BLACKPINK’s members Lisa and Jennie during their solo performance in 'In Your Area' and the subtitles below read "strippers dance during funerals in China."
They were being labeled as "Chinese strippers" and the commentary of the clip was extremely objectifying.
Let me tell you why this Blackpink's members are NOT "Chinese strippers."
1. They are NOT Chinese
2. They are NOT strippers.
BLINKs, both Indians and International are extremly angry and immediately began demanding an apology from the company.
On the other hand, News NationTV addressed the situation via Twitter.
