'Everything but the comeback': BLINKs slam YG over BLACKPINK's lack of new music before DEADLINE world tour
Yet another update on the world tour—but still no word on a comeback? On June 10 KST, YG Entertainment revealed the official poster for BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR 'DEADLINE' IN GOYANG through the group's social media channels, officially launching the countdown to their next chapter.
Set for July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, the concert will mark BLACKPINK's first full-group performance in nearly 1 year and 10 months. With overwhelming demand, all tickets—including limited-view seats—have completely sold out, highlighting the group's unrivaled global presence.

Where is the comeback?
YG Entertainment had previously described the event as "the pinnacle of BLACKPINK's live performance," promising an unforgettable experience. With each member refining her craft through both group and solo ventures, fans anticipated a top-tier production that would highlight their artistic growth.
However, many BLINKs are frustrated by the group's limited discography—just 32 songs in an eight-year career. Despite BLACKPINK's global success, the small number of tracks has long been a point of contention among fans, who had hoped for more consistent releases over the years.
The disappointment only grew when YG's Yang Hyun-suk recently unveiled his agency's future plans. Regarding BLACKPINK, he simply mentioned that a new single would be released—falling far short of fans' expectations for a full album. Since that vague announcement, no further updates about the song have been shared.
WHERE'S THE COMEBACK?????????
Adding to the frustration, fans have noted the lack of promotional content. There have been no new group photos released by YG, leaving many wondering about the current status of BLACKPINK's comeback. With each member busy with solo endeavors, the group's collective presence has been virtually nonexistent, fueling concern and disappointment within the fandom.

BTS' V and BLACKPINK's Jennie rekindle dating rumors again post his military discharge
BTS member V's discharge from the military on June 10 after completing 18 months of training has put him in the spotlight. But now he's generating buzz for a different reason– his recent Instagram activity since resuming civilian life. It has once again set off speculation about a potential romance with K-pop star Jennie, drawing considerable interest and attention due to the high-profile status of both celebrities. Fans spot alleged evidence of BTS' V dating BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim Taehyung aka V is currently a hot topic on social media for his Instagram updates on social media post the completion of his mandatory national service. On June 11, he posted a series of photos featuring his military colleagues, his gym deets with actor Song Kang, a celebratory cake for his discharge and his solo shots in military uniforms. Four things about the post caught fans' attention the most. They are a follows– The BTS member's cake included the message "I'm happy to be with you." Fans reacted to the romantic tone of the phrase, saying, "I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OF HIS FAMILY, FRIENDS SAYING "I'm happy to be with you THIS CAKE IS DEFINITELY GIVEN TO HIM BY JENNIE." Another picture featured a shot of V's back, focusing on his backpack. However, the blue teddy bear keychain was what stole the limelight as fans spotted a black version of the same keychain on BLACKPINK's Jennie's bag before. The third and fourth alleged evidence was the song used by V on his post and its caption. The song is called Love Me JeJe and the caption reads "Love me tete." According to fans, JeJe and tete referred to Jennie and Taehyung as usage of such cute pet names is a common phenomenon among young couples of Korea. Previously, Jennie's latest post made a day before V's military discharge added fuel to the dying down fiery dating rumors of the duo. The second slide of the post includes several letters scattered in a table, and shippers' eyes were fixated on the letter T. The usage of her song Seoul City created additional buzz as many believed it to be dedicated to V.

'Still in LA?': BLACKPINK Rosé's pre-DEADLINE World Tour activities spark controversy among BLINKs
Will BLACKPINK be in your area soon? That remains unclear, as fans have voiced growing frustration with YG Entertainment and the group's four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. While reports suggest that BLACKPINK recently wrapped up filming a new music video in Seoul, some fans remain skeptical. It has come to light that Rosé is currently in Los Angeles, with recent sightings of the idol sparking criticism online. With the group's much-anticipated — yet controversy-ridden — DEADLINE world tour fast approaching, her presence abroad has raised concerns about rehearsals and overall preparedness. #BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR #블랙핑크 #WORLDTOUR #DEADLINE #YG Rosé in LA Fansites recently shared pictures of the idol in Los Angeles, prompting criticism from some netizens who questioned why she wasn't in South Korea rehearsing for the tour. Concerns about the group's readiness quickly followed, with many pointing to the lack of visible practice sessions or new music releases ahead of the DEADLINE world tour. OMG ROSÉ IN LA Many users on X (formerly Twitter) also brought up issues from the Born Pink World Tour, where the members were criticized for frequent mistakes and a lack of synchronization on stage. With a new world tour approaching—and the group having released only 32 songs over more than eight years—many BLINKs are worried the members may once again face harsh criticism. yeah that tour is about to be a mess you should be practicing and rehearsing right now 🤨 Man blackpink are starting to piss me off more day by day GIRL GO PRACTICE FOR THE WORLD TOUR SO Y'ALL WONT EMBARRASS YOURSELVES AND WHEN IS THE GROUP CB However, many fans came to Rosé's defense, arguing that she was being unfairly singled out. They also pointed out the lack of transparency regarding the members' individual schedules and emphasized that it was unreasonable to place the blame solely on her. Supporters also highlighted that preparing for a world tour is a collective responsibility and shouldn't rest on Rosé alone. "that tour going to be a mess" just because Rosé is the only one spotted in LA doesn't mean the rest of them ARE in Korea especially since they can fly ANYWHERE ANYTIME. What's not clicking. Also, Rosé is the LEAST of your worries for that tour. From the last 2 days people who supposedly like her are camping in qrts of posts related to her, fuming and calling her names…..it's like yg and the other 3 are not responsible for group things anymore it's just rosé. The incident underscores growing concerns among fans, who fear the tour may be underprepared due to unclear planning and limited promotional efforts.
