BLINKs, Did You Hear? BLACKPINK Is All Set To Come Back With New Music
Last Updated:
BLACKPINK's agency has earlier confirmed that the girl group began shooting for their upcoming music video on June 6.
BLINKs, are you ready? Because your wait might finally be over as BLACKPINK is making a full group comeback soon. As reported, the four-membered K-pop girl group, comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rose, is returning with new music after what feels like ages. It will be nearly three years after their second album, Born Pink, when the group will release a new project.
On Thursday, June 19, JTBC Entertainment News quoted industry insiders who stated that BLACKPINK is all set to make a full group comeback in July this year. After reports went rife, YG Entertainment released a statement, keeping the details of the group's upcoming project under wraps. They said, 'We will share details through an official promotion at a later date."
Earlier, BLACKPINK's agency confirmed that the girl group began shooting for their upcoming music video on June 6. The shoot reportedly took place in South Korea under the supervision of a renowned director, whose name was not revealed. With this, the excitement around BLACKPINK's return as a group has increased manifold.
Meanwhile, back in February, YG Entertainment surprised BLINKs by announcing BLACKPINK's new world tour. This tour marks the group's first major comeback since their record-breaking Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), which sold over 1.8 million tickets across 66 shows. The agency has confirmed that the tour will feature new music, never-before-seen performances, and immersive stage production.
The upcoming tour, titled Deadline World Tour, is their first all-stadium tour, which is beginning on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea. BLACKPINK will have several shows in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, before concluding their much-awaited tour in January 2026, at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, China.

FYI, the globally renowned K-pop girl group went on a hiatus following their Born Pink World Tour in September 2023. The four members kept group activities on hold and focused on their solo music as well as acting projects. All the BLACKPINK members have now released their individual albums since the hiatus. While Rose released Rosie in December last year, Lisa dropped her first studio album, Alter Ego, in February 2025. Jisoo released Amortage, and Jennie dropped Ruby earlier this year.

BLACKPINK slammed over $18 plastic bag merch as furious fans call for DEADLINE tour boycott: 'Not buying these Z grade designs'
BLACKPINK is once again trending on K-pop Twitter, but not for the kind of headline-grabbing reason fans were hoping for. Instead of buzz about a long-awaited comeback or new music, the group, comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, is drawing criticism over their upcoming DEADLINE tour merchandise. With group activities scarce since their last release in 2022, BLINKs have been impatient for a comeback. The announcement of a pop-up merch line could have offered some excitement, but instead, it's added fuel to the fire. BLACKPINK's $18 plastic bag merch sparks fan outrage. The latest controversy erupted after BLACKPINK's BORN PINK: DEADLINE pop-up store unveiled its official merch in Seoul, including a basic black plastic bag being sold for 24,000 KRW (approx. USD 18). The item, featuring only the group's logo, has drawn sharp criticism from BLINKs who feel it's overpriced and underwhelming. Social media was quick to slam the group and their agency, YG Entertainment, with many accusing them of exploiting fans' loyalty while giving them nothing substantial in return. "No effort at all, even for official tour merchandise. And they are even selling plastic bags with the BLACKPINK logo for almost 20 USD? YG Entertainment has been bragging about the "new great team' in charge of BLACKPINK, yet it's all the same trash releases aiming to milk fans," one user wrote. No effort at all even for official tour merchandise. And they are even selling plastic bags with BLACKPINK logo for almost 20 usd? @ygent_official has been bragging that 'new great team' in charge of BLACKPINK, yet it's all the same trash releases aiming to milk fans "I'm not buying this Z Class Designed merch, which consists of a barely BP logo... That plastic bag costs you $17," wrote another frustrated fan. Sorry @BLACKPINK I'm not buying this Z Class Designed merch which consists of barely BP logo ..that Plastic bag costs you $17#BLACKPINK "Saw the Blackpink merch for the tour and wow… blinks are genuinely the biggest idiots for even attending that tour," wrote a third X user. Saw the blackpink merch for the tour and wow… blinks are genuinely the biggest īdiots for even attending that tour. One fan mentioned, "Outdated Blackpink logo and outdated hearts – like this is a combination of all the tour merch together. If it's real, it needs to be Boycott BLACKPINK tour so y'all can get YG panicking." Outdated Blackpink logo, and outdated hearts like this is a combination of all the tour merch together 💀 if it's real it needs to be #boycott_blackpinktour so y'all can get YG panicking YG confirms comeback plans, but fans stay sceptical In response to the backlash against BLACKPINK's delayed comeback, YG Entertainment confirmed that the group will release a new single in July—their first group track since 2022. While the announcement brought some relief, many fans are viewing it as a reactionary move to deflect criticism rather than a well-planned comeback. With limited details and a history of delayed group activities, BLINKs remain cautiously optimistic. For now, the promise of new music is on the horizon but overpriced merch won't be enough to hold fans over. For the unversed, BLACKPINK's highly anticipated DEADLINE World Tour is officially kicking off on July 5, 2025, with the opening shows set at Goyang Stadium in South Korea For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
