Lord Ganesha, also known as Vinayaka and Ganpati, is one of the deities in Hindu Pantheon. He is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the god of intellect and wisdom. The 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival in India is celebrated with full enthusiasm and respect.

Since the music video was out, it has received a lot of criticism on social media as the netizens want the label YG Entertainment to apologize. The hashtags like #MyCultureIsNotYourAesthetic and #YGapologise have been trending on Twitter.

The fans have been left concerned as to how a holy deity was used as a prop in the music video. BLINKs, Blackpink’s fandom, decided to mass email the label in order to make them aware of their mistake.

As of now, YG Entertainment is yet to address the issue.
