BLACKPINK to release new mini-album this year?

Yahoo2 days ago
13 Aug - YG Entertainment has neither denied nor confirmed reports that BLACKPINK will be releasing a new album in the fourth quarter of this year.
A report from Mydaily recently claimed that the quartet will be releasing their first new EP in three years this November, and not just a single. It also said that the album was originally set for an October release but was pushed back.
It is noted that BLACKPINK's last album was the 2022 "Born Pink".
However, when asked about it, a rep from YG only stated, "We will announce the news through our promotions."
BLACKPINK reunited this year and released their digital single "Jump" in July. The song was performed for the first time during their "Deadline" world tour.

The ultimate guide to Taylor Swift graded collectibles: cards, signed albums, and one-of-a-kind memorabilia

Taylor Swift joined her boyfriend's podcast this week to announce her new album, delivering a welcome surprise in what had been a quiet offseason for the couple. Her boyfriend, who, incidentally, plays professional football for the Kansas City Chiefs, co-hosts a popular podcast with his brother. It turns out the break wasn't downtime after all, at least not for Taylor Swift. The new album announcement quickly took over all of the internet. And in today's collecting world, big cultural moments don't just live on streaming platforms or social media feeds, they're immortalized in collectibles. Trading cards and PSA-graded pieces are no longer reserved for sports and Pokémon fans. The Rolling Stones recently launched a Panini trading card set complete with band autographs and Color Blast inserts familiar to sports collectors. Movie and TV tie-ins are booming too, with popular sets celebrating everything from Star Wars to Stranger Things. Leaf's Pop Century remains one of the hobby's most sought-after non-sports releases, delivering autographs from celebrities across music, film, and beyond. So where are the Taylor Swift cards? A few do exist, just not as many as you might expect. Let's dive into the world of Taylor Swift trading cards, autographs, and other memorabilia making waves in the hobby. Taylor Swift custom cards There is perhaps no bigger tell that the hobby is clamoring for Taylor Swift cards than the sheer number of custom cards on eBay. You can find them from $5 to $50, many of which copy — 'plagiarize' may be more accurate — popular sports cards inserts. Buy on eBay | Ranges from ~$5 to $50 Taylor Swift authenticated cut autograph cards As close to licensed autographs as fans can get right now, there are a slew of hand-cut autos either authenticated by eBay or produced by Leaf in their 2021 Pop Century set. The BGS authentication verifies that the signature is legitimate, and when paired with the custom design, it makes for a fun addition to any collector's mantelpiece. Buy on eBay | Ranges from ~$90 to ~$500 2011 Topps American Pie #196 Kanye West/Taylor Swift Taylor's first official Topps card commemorates the infamous VMA moment. PSA 10 versions of this card sell for over $500 with the foil version selling for over $1,000 in high grades. At the moment, for non-auto Taylor memorabilia, this is the gold standard for pop culture collectors. Buy on eBay | PSA 10 ~$500 Femme Force: Taylor Swift comic TidalWave Comics publishes a biographical series called Female Force, spotlighting notable women from various fields. One installment centers on Taylor Swift, detailing her musical journey, influence on her audience, and philanthropic efforts. Special editions were also produced, including a foil-cover variant autographed by the illustrator. Buy on eBay | Ranges from ~$10 to ~$300 depending on Variant Nashville 2006 self-promo card Taylor apparently gave this promo card away on the streets of Nashville in 2006 to promote her first single and Myspace account when she was just starting out. Sports Card Investor Geoff Wilson posted this pickup back in 2023. Taylor Swift | Travis Kelce PiggyBanx "Taylor Made" Good 2 1st Edition Razz Refractor #1/1 with case During the hype of Taylor and Travis last year, PiggyBanx released this 1/1 'Taylor Made' custom card that sold for $1000 on Pristine Auctions. Graded Taylor Swift signed albums Graded Taylor Swift signed albums gained traction last year and have continued to grow in popularity. The sheer number of fakes out there make graded copies of this collectible very desirable. Buy on eBay | Ranges from $400 - $1,000 Topps Chrome Garbage Pail Kids 2017, 2022, and 2024 tributes Calling any GPK card a tribute is perhaps a bit unfair but they have been crafting fun cards of Swift for nearly a decade. Base versions of these cards sell for less than $10 with the numbered and graded versions selling for hundreds. Buy on eBay | Base version ~$8 Taylor Swift's reach is global, and her collectibles reflect that same worldwide appeal. From rare signed albums to custom cards, her memorabilia connects fans across borders and hobbies. As she continues to be a global superpower you can expect to see the volume, and value, of her collectibles increase alongside her starpower.

‘Dan Da Dan' Set Phasers To Stun With Its Most Momokarun Episode Yet

After a riot of referential anime references, live-action food, and power metal exorcisms, the latest episode of Science Saru's anime adaptation of Dan Da Dan delivered the most romantic episode of the show's sci-fi meets yokai madness yet between its protagonists. You bet your ass we're going to gush about the seventh episode of Dan Da Dan season 2, 'Feeling Kinda Gloomy,' the show picks up from the cliffhanger of its previous episode, where Okarun witnesses Momo Ayase working at a maid cafe. After being forced to go by Momo's besties Miku and Muko (and the in-universe presidents of 'Momokarun,' the ship name of Momo and Okarun) the girls make a riot out of poking fun at Momo like any teenagers would when they ambush their friends at work. While Momo working part-time at a maid cafe came as a shock to Okarun, she later explains that she's only doing so to pay for a new phone, a gripe she's routinely remarked about since it got broken way back in the show's premiere. All the same, Miku and Muko had a ball teasing Momo on her first day, and further propel her and Okarun's romance by taking a group photo performing a 'moe moe tri-beam' before slipping it into his pocket. Mortified, Momo tells Okarun he should head home, but ever the mild-mannered gentleman, he says he'll wait around until her shift is over to walk her home. Momo handwaves him away, worrying he'll catch a cold, and shoos him away. All the while, Momo sneaks glances at the clock as she slowly wears down in her day, wondering if Okarun has stayed true to his word. And sure enough, when Momo thought Okarun had high-tailed it back to her place (he, Jiji, and Aira are crashing at the Ayase residence now after the events of the season's opening), Okarun shows up in a huff, apologizing for being late with their group photo clutched in hand. After catching himself extending a hand to Momo to walk her home and trying to play it off like he was motioning to secure his backpack,, Momo clutches his hand, saying, 'ain't so cold now.' Now, shippers can add screenshots of the two handholding scenes to their dedicated computer files, featuring the pair timidly holding hands from a couple of episodes ago and their accidental kiss from season one. But because Dan Da Dan is a shonen anime with shojo romance in its DNA, we got even more drama in our midst this episode with the love rectangle, including Aira's crush on Okarun and Jiji's crush on Momo. While Aira's jealousy of Momo was shelved to be handled in what's sure to be an Okarun/Aira-centric episode next week, this episode saw some trouble in paradise for the love triangle between Momo, Okarun, and Jiji. While Okarun and Momo were making their way back to the Ayase residence, Jiji was back at home training to get his Evil Eye possession under control. While he seemed to have his Ranma 1/2 water transformation under control, Aira spilling her boba tea on him after they both ran up to Momo triggered his transformation. Luckily, with some quick thinking and a bit of luck, Momo was able to spit water on her childhood crush, transforming him back to his usual self. When Jiji goes to check up on Momo, after Evil Eye choked her and ripped at her shirt, Okarun shoves him forcefully away from her, still concerned about the potential threat. It's a perfect recreation of the moment from the manga, one that has become a meme among readers, often accompanied by the caption 'She good, bruh.' We're sure to get our fair share of anime-flavored memes soon, now that the scene has finally been adapted so faithfully. What made this episode so special, beyond it cranking up the slow-burning romance between its leads, is how it's yet another example of Science Saru doing a spectacular job adapting manga creator Yukinobu Tatsu's ongoing manga. In contrast to contemporary shows that settle for a one-to-one copy-paste of manga panels and call it a day, co-directors Abel Gongora and Fuga Yamashiro embellish and add additional scenes that build on the manga, truly adapting it into the medium in every sense of the word. Not only did we have an opening montage adapting what was a few panels into a full-blown montage of Momo's workday underscored by Frédéric Chopin's 'Nocturne in E Flat Major,' we also got a POV camera angles from Okarun's perspective as his peepers tried their hardest not to get caught gawking at Momo in her maid getup. Take past episodes showcasing the pair taking interest in each other's hobbies, with Momo throwing Ultraman poses and Okarun reading what looks like a manga of Ashita No Joe while practicing throwing punches and trying to get stronger through training with Turbo Granny and the boxing single-father alien, Peeny-Weeny, and that's how love starts, you know? We're here for the slow burn. New episodes of Dan Da Dan air every Thursday on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu. Want more io9 news?
