Blackpink rumored November comeback with new EP following Jump release and amid Deadline world tour
A music industry insider told Soompi that the four-member group has completed recording tracks for the project and finished a promotional photo shoot. Originally slated for release in October, the EP's launch was reportedly moved to November.
In response to the speculation, Blackpink's agency YG Entertainment neither confirmed nor denied the timing. 'We will announce it later through official promotions,' the company said in a statement quoted by Soompi.
If the release goes ahead, it will be the group's first multi-track project since their 2022 album Born Pink. Their most recent music drop was the digital single Jump, released in July.
The rumored comeback aligns with Blackpink's ongoing Deadline world tour, which will bring them to the Philippine Arena in November for a two-day run. The timing has fueled fan excitement, as it could coincide with the potential EP launch.
Known for their record-breaking releases and global influence, Blackpink has consistently delivered high-profile comebacks. Their last full-length effort, Born Pink, achieved international chart success and solidified their position as one of K-pop's leading acts.
For now, YG Entertainment has not confirmed a specific release date, and fans will have to await official announcements through the group's promotional channels.

'KPop Demon Hunters' HUNTR/X makes history as ‘Golden' hits No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
HUNTR/X's "Golden" has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the group the first all-women collective of three or more members to top the chart in 24 years, since Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious" in August 2001. The aspirational track, voiced by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, comes from the soundtrack to the hit animated Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters. It marks the first Hot 100 leader for the group and female K-pop act and the ninth song linked to Korean pop to top the chart. Previous No. 1s in the genre include BTS's six chart-toppers between 2020 and 2021, along with "Seven" by Jung Kook featuring Latto and "Like Crazy" by Jimin in 2023. "Golden" also becomes the first Hot 100 No. 1 by an act with a fictional background since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto, which reigned for five weeks in 2022. During the tracking week of 1–7 August, the single earned 31.7 million official streams in the United States, up 9% from the previous week. It also registered 8.4 million radio airplay audience impressions, a 71% increase, and sold 7,000 downloads, up 35%. The track continues to lead the Billboard Soundtracks chart for a seventh week, solidifying its chance at winning the Oscar for the Best Original Song category for which is has been submitted as a contender. In a rare move for a Netflix release, KPop Demon Hunters will also head to cinemas later this month. Select Regal Theatres will host sing-along screenings on August 23 and 24, marking the first widespread theatrical release of the film.
