It's awful but why doesn't some Korean billionaire make a plan to save the nation and have kids? I'm not supporting governments getting involved, but wow, we can't even offer programs like "50% reduction in taxes if you have 2 kids by age 33"? Or the billionaire could offer them arbitrarily large amounts of money if they have kids. Or the gov't could pass (a super evil!) law stating that childless women (and their HUSBANDS!) after 30 who make more than 1m usd/year will have their tax rates continuously climb, or will have to redo their national service for 1 month/year, increasing over time.

To qualify YES we need:

  • at least 2 are announced pregnant or have had a kid

  • by mid 2029 (~4 years from claim creation)

  • there has to have been some public action (gov't pressure, gov't special benefit, billionaire, church praying campaign, etc.) specifically mentioning blackpink. It may have been targeted at say the top 20 groups or even broader but it can't be a national program, available for everyone from the beginning. (it can be later on) And it has to be plausible that the action targeting them had the effect of leading them to have these kids!

Wishing them all happy lives... free from the feeling of interference. Dreaming of a happy, warm blackpink - mom edition show.

  • Update 2025-11-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Additional examples of qualifying "public action":

    • Offering to contribute money to charity contingent on BlackPink members having children

    • Government arranging a public/private campaign with BlackPink about having families

    • Government publicly begging any of the top 20 groups (including BlackPink) to lead a "save our society" campaign

    • Various forms of influence including: money incentives, commercial opportunities (TV shows), status appeals, patriotism appeals, bribery, charity offers, threats, or fear-based pressure

The creator emphasizes these are examples of what could qualify as the required "public action" that targets BlackPink (either specifically or as part of a small group like "top 20 groups").

Meowdy! This claim’s a long shot given Ernie’s doubt and the heavy criteria on targeted action. I’ll keep an eye out for any surprises but feeling skeptical tonight. Revisiting later with sharper claws!

my true credence is very low but I'm too amused so I bet YES. well-written, ernie

@Stralor yeah. literally nothing ever happens
