BLACKPINK's comeback in doubt? Fans speak as Lisa spotted in Italy with boyfriend Frédéric, Rosé in the USA with 45 days left until tour
After nearly three years, BLACKPINK is finally reuniting for a full-group comeback in June 2025. The release will be their first since BORN PINK and is set to kick off a massive world tour starting July 5 in South Korea. With the members busy on solo ventures since their last album, fans are eager to see them back together on stage.
However, it seems that none of the members are currently in the same location to begin preparations for the comeback. Many fans had expected the group to reunite in South Korea after Lisa and Jennie's performances at 2025 Coachella, with Rosé and Jisoo joining them to start filming music videos and recording. Yet, all four members remain engaged with their individual schedules.

Fans doubt BLACKPINK's comeback plans
With just over a month left before the world tour kicks off, fans are growing increasingly concerned. YG Entertainment previously announced that BLACKPINK would make a comeback in June, yet the members have not returned to Seoul to begin preparations.
Many took to X (formerly Twitter) to question whether the group is taking their comeback seriously. Some pointed out that the group faced heavy criticism for underwhelming performances during the BORN PINK World Tour, and fear history may repeat itself if the members don't make time for rehearsals and planning.
One said, "Peppa Pig had a sibling before the f***ing BLACKPINK comeback."

Another commented, "45 days left for the tour and BLACKPINK are literally everywhere but in the studio/practice room."

Another added, "Someone said BLACKPINK's comeback is like the GT6 of the K-pop industry — and honestly, REAL."

A fan speculated, "I think the BLACKPINK comeback won't happen before the tour because they can't possibly release an album in less than two months. Though, looking at the current tour schedule, it's possible they could release something between August and January 2026, as there's a big gap in dates."
I think blackpink comeback wouldnt happen before the tour, cause they cant possibly release an album in less than 2 months. Tho, looking at the current tour schedule, it is possible for them to release something in August to January 2026, because there is a big gap for tour dates
Another simply asked, "Are we having a comeback orrr what, BLACKPINK?"
Are we having a comeback orrr what @blackpink ?
More about BLACKPINK's comeback
BLACKPINK first teased their upcoming tour on February 19, when YG Entertainment released a poster revealing a 10-city stadium run with 13 dates across East Asia, North America, and Europe. On May 16, the group officially announced the tour's title: Deadline World Tour.

Vishal Pandey On Being Trolled For Cannes 2025 Debut Look: ‘Bura Laga'
Last Updated: Vishal Pandey recently addressed the trolling following his Cannes debut, clarifying that his presence at the festival was for a film project, not just for fashion. Vishal Pandey, the Indian actor and social media sensation, made a stunning debut at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival with his international film Far Away From Home. While many celebrated his achievement, others criticised his debut, labelling it a mere red carpet appearance. Recently, Vishal swiftly responded to the backlash, highlighting his passion for storytelling. He emphasised that his presence at Cannes was about more than just fashion. In a candid conversation with Telly Talk, Vishal Pandey shared his thoughts on the online criticism, saying, 'Pareshaan nahi, grateful hu joh bhi opportunities aaye. Vahan pe log mujhe itna appreciate kar rahe the. Mujhe laga jab main apne desh aaunga, aur zyada hoga lekin mere desh mein mixed opinions mile. (I am not worried, I am grateful for whatever opportunities came my way. People there were appreciating me so much. I felt that when I came to my country, there would be more, but I got mixed opinions in my country)." He added, 'Tab bura laga ki main apne country ko represent kar raha tha vahan pe. Aisa nahi hai ki main apna fashion show karne gaya tha. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion. (Then I felt bad that I was representing my country there, it's not like I had gone to show my fashion. Cannes Film Festival is about films, not fashion)."

He also spoke about what he looks for in a partner and how he envisions his dream wedding. When asked about his ideal type, G-Dragon shared that he's attracted to elegant features. He said he also pays attention to a person's silhouette and posture, and prefers "cat-like" visuals. He added that fashion sense isn't a deal breaker, as long as their vibes align.

"The wedding I want is kind of like a show," he explained, with Dex joking about protecting the cake from water. While fans loved the glimpse into his creative mind, G-Dragon has also been in the spotlight over the years for his dating rumours. Here's a quick look at some of the K-pop stars he's been linked to in the past. Kiko Mizuhara Rumors of a romance between G-Dragon and Japanese model Kiko Mizuhara first emerged in 2010, when the two were frequently seen together in public. Their repeated outings and cozy appearances sparked speculations. However, despite years of media buzz, the duo remained tight-lipped and never confirmed the relationship. By 2015, the sightings had stopped, leading many to believe the two had quietly gone their separate ways. BLACKPINK's Jennie BLACKPINK's Jennie and G-Dragon have been linked over the years through both music and rumors of romance. Their professional relationship began in 2012, when Jennie appeared as the lead in G-Dragon's music video for That XX. In 2013, she featured on his track Black from the Coup d'Etat album, and the two performed the song together on shows like Inkigayo and M Countdown. Dating rumors between the two first emerged in 2021 and 2022, and resurfaced again in 2023, according to media reports.

TWICE's Sana Dating rumors between G-Dragon and Sana began after he tagged only her in an Instagram post featuring TWICE's special performance at Coldplay's Seoul concert on April 22. His selective tag sparked speculation, especially since no other members were mentioned. The rumors gained traction following their joint appearance on Fridge Interview, but on June 2, G-Dragon's agency, Galaxy Corporation, denied the claims. They explained the post was a friendly gesture linked to their recent filming of the YouTube show Dex and Sana's Fridge Interview on April 14.
