The "JUMP" music video, which garnered 1 million likes in just over an hour, also earned the title of the fourth-fastest music video by a female K-pop act to hit this milestone. This record-breaking speed places it among the top tier of BLACKPINK's achievements. The video exceeded 9.3 million views and 1.8 million likes just hours after release, further solidifying the group's dominance in the digital music world.
The song itself is the group's first new release in nearly three years, following their August 2023 track "The Girls (Blackpink the Game OST)." It debuted live during BLACKPINK's DEADLINE World Tour opening concert in Goyang, South Korea, on July 5, 2025. The track was co-written by Teddy, Diplo, and several other collaborators, with Diplo also co-producing. The accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, features bold visuals and hardstyle sound elements, resonating with fans worldwide.
Despite early critiques surrounding the tour's management and content, "JUMP" has proved to be a massive success, reaffirming BLACKPINK's status as global superstars. The DEADLINE World Tour will continue into 2026, with upcoming stops across North America and beyond.

TWICE celebrates 10th anniversary with bold new album and global tour
As they enter their 10th year in the industry, global K-pop phenomenon TWICE is embracing a new era with their fourth full-length album, This Is For. The record not only marks a major milestone but also kicks off a bold chapter of experimentation and unity, both in sound and spirit. Led by the empowering single 'Four,' the album symbolises strength through togetherness, something the members emphasised by donning matching blue outfits in teasers and presenting themselves as a single, unified figure. 'We wanted the nine of us to be one person, to feel powerful,' leader Jihyo explained. Since their debut in 2015, TWICE has racked up historic accolades: headlining stadiums, topping Billboard charts, and becoming the first K-pop girl group to receive the Billboard Women in Music Award. They're also set to headline Lollapalooza this August, another first. Their new album showcases a range of genres, from the EDM-inspired 'Right Hand Girl' to the old-school hip-hop vibe of 'Peach Gelato.' Jeongyeon described it as the hardest she's recorded due to its vocal demands, but one that she feels proud to have completed. Beyond group tracks, members experimented with new units and sounds, and solo endeavours are growing. Chaeyoung is set to release her debut solo album by year's end, while members also contributed to the hit Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack, now a global sensation. TWICE's This Is For World Tour Part 1 kicks off July 19 in Incheon, featuring a unique 360-degree stage experience. 'We could have chosen the easy path,' Nayeon said, 'but we wanted a challenge.' Reflecting on a decade of success, the group remains focused on growth, health, and staying grounded. 'Even mountains change in ten years,' Jihyo quoted. 'We've changed even more.'

Will ‘KPop Demon Hunters' get a sequel?
Following its June 20 release, KPop Demon Hunters has quickly become a global sensation. The animated Netflix fantasy, about a K-pop girl group who moonlight as demon hunters, has racked up over 56 million views and dominated the top 10 in 93 countries. With such success, fans are wondering: will there be a sequel? While Netflix hasn't officially greenlit KPop Demon Hunters 2, the film's creators and cast are eager to continue the story. Co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans have hinted at deeper lore yet to be explored. 'There are a lot of questions left unanswered and areas that are not explored,' Kang told Variety. 'We had to make choices, but there's so much more story there.' The film ends on a hopeful but open note. Rumi, who embraces her half-demon identity, helps restore peace with the help of bandmates Mira and Zoey. Still, the sacrifice of the Saja Boys' leader Jinu and his soul merging with Rumi opens the door for new conflicts and emotional twists in a sequel. Cast members Ji-young Yoo, Arden Cho, and May Hong are all on board. Yoo told Mama's Geeky, 'I'll be honestly a little bummed if we can't do a sequel,' while Cho said she'd be 'heartbroken' if it didn't happen. With high viewership and a chart-topping soundtrack, the demand is clear. Now fans just need Netflix to make it official.
