BLACKPINK completes ‘iconic' music video shoot in Seoul for upcoming new music; here's all we know
Global K-pop phenomenon BLACKPINK is officially one step closer to their highly anticipated return. Reports have revealed that the quartet (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) recently completed filming a brand-new music video in Seoul. This signals serious momentum ahead of their first group comeback in nearly three years.
Filming completed in Seoul
According to a report from Xports News on June 9, BLACKPINK spent last weekend on set in Seoul. They wrapped up the music video shoot for their upcoming release. The details remain tightly under wraps. However, the shoot marks a key stage in the group's ongoing preparations for their return to the music scene.
Following the reports, YG Entertainment soon confirmed that BLACKPINK began filming their new music video on June 6. According to the agency, 'We are filming in Korea with a famous overseas director. This will create another iconic music video that encapsulates BLACKPINK's identity and musical color.'
Their comeback is scheduled for the second half of 2025, and will be their first group album since the release of BORN PINK in September 2022. That album marked a major global milestone for the group, and fans have been eagerly waiting for a follow-up ever since.
First comeback under renewed group contract with YG
While BLACKPINK 's individual members each signed with different agencies for their solo endeavors, they remain under YG Entertainment as a group. This upcoming release will be their first group project since renewing their contract with YG. So, this is the first album since the split between their solo and group representation was formalized in 2023.
YG's executive producer Yang Hyun Suk had already confirmed in a statement last month that BLACKPINK would release new music in the second half of this year. This has sparked excitement among fans globally. Now, with the music video already filmed, expectations are rising that the official rollout may be closer than expected.
DEADLINE world tour
Adding to the anticipation, BLACKPINK is set to launch a new world tour titled DEADLINE, starting in July at Goyang Stadium. The tour will mark their return to large-scale performances as a full group and they are going to cover major cities worldwide.
While no official schedule has been released about the new music, some fans speculate that a pre-release track may drop in June. This would set the stage for a full album release around September. The current tour timeline shows a gap between November 2025 and January 2026. It has prompted theories that December may be used for promotions, additional activities related to the album.
Comeback details still under wraps
Despite the completed music video and mounting fan theories, no official confirmation has been made regarding the exact release date, title track, or concept of the upcoming album. YG Entertainment has yet to release teaser content or a promotional schedule. Even so, the group's return is already being regarded as one of the most anticipated comebacks in recent K-pop history.

The First Night With The Duke: OTT release date, cast, plot and more about Seohyun and Ok Taec-yeon's K-drama
The First Night With The Duke OTT Release Date: If you're into romantic K-dramas that whisk you into fantasy worlds where unexpected love stories unfold in royal palaces, The First Night With The Duke is the new title you need to watch out for. Starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Ok Taec-yeon, this upcoming period-fantasy drama is already creating a major buzz online, thanks to its unique storyline, stunning visuals, and solid cast. When and where to watch The First Night With The Duke? Mark your calendars: the show premieres on June 11, 2025, in South Korea on KBS2, airing every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 p.m. KST. For Indian and global fans, the drama will stream on Rakuten Viki starting the same day, with new episodes dropping at around 7:30 p.m. IST. You can catch it with a Viki Pass (Standard or Plus), or even watch it for free with ads a few hours later. There will be 12 episodes in total, each loaded with charm, drama, and royal tension. What's the story all about? The plot kicks off with a quirky twist. A modern-day university student suddenly wakes up inside her favourite romance novel, but instead of becoming the heroine, she finds herself stuck in the body of a side character named Cha Seon-chaek. What's worse? In the book, this character was supposed to have little to no role in the main love story. But fate clearly has other plans. Enter Yi Beon, the dashing and emotionally reserved prince who mistakes Seon-chaek for someone else after a mysterious one-night encounter. One kiss turns her world upside down as the prince insists on marrying her, convinced that destiny has brought them together. While she tries to make sense of this new reality, palace politics, romance, and her own conflicted heart make things messier by the day. It's not about escaping the novel anymore; she might actually want to stay. Who's in the cast? The drama brings together two powerhouse performers. Seohyun plays the confused yet strong-willed Cha Seon-chaek. Opposite her is Ok Taec-yeon, taking on the role of Prince Yi Beon. The supporting cast includes Kwon Han-sol as the actual novel's heroine, Seo Bum-june playing the charming second lead with noble intentions, and Ji Hye-won as the ever-scheming court lady who's got her own eyes on the prince. Behind the camera The First Night With The Duke is directed by Lee Woong-hee, known for his crisp storytelling in shows like My Perfect Stranger, and Kang Soo-yeon, with a screenplay adapted by Jeon Seon-young. It's based on a popular web novel (which later became a webtoon) by Hwang Do-tol, which has already racked up millions of reads online. The music is composed by Gaemi, who's no stranger to hit soundtracks, having worked on dramas like Descendants of the Sun and Love in the Moonlight.
