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.

What are Labubu dolls? All about internet's latest obsession
You must be living under a rock if you haven't heard about the Labubus dolls. The wide-eyed toys have taken over social media. It all started after BLACKPINK's Lisa casually showed them off in her photos. And, fans, including us, can't keep their hands off the oddly cute toys. So, don't be surprised if you spot one dangling off a Gucci or sitting on a shelf next to someone's most prized collectables. But did you know they are not new? A post shared by LISA (@lalalalisa_m) Created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu is part of the 'Monsters' figurine universe-born out of his love for Nordic folklore and the wild imaginations of children. They first hit shelves in 2015, but 2025 seems to be their golden year. Pop Mart, a Chinese retailer, holds exclusive distribution rights. The most popular versions? Plush pendants with clips that sell in 'blind boxes'-you won't know which one you have got until you rip the box open. That surprise factor is a big deal for many. A Labubu costs roughly between $21.99 and $39.99, but good luck finding one. In the UK, Pop Mart even halted Labubu sales in physical stores due to scuffles breaking out. The shortage is partly due to resellers using bots to snap them up. On StockX, rare variants have been listed for as high as $450. 'I saw someone's post that their car windows were broken, and someone stole their Labubu. Nothing else, just the Labubu, which is wild,' shared a user on Reddit. From emotional nostalgia to simple delight, people find meaning in these plushies. While some blame celebrity hype and sharp marketing, others are genuinely in love. 'It's just influence from celebrities and good marketing, just a current consumerist trend like so many other things,' one Redditor pointed out. Another person added, 'I want one but I had no idea they were such a huge deal til today!!! Now I can't even get one because they are sold out everywhere (aside from resellers but I refuse). My bfs parents randomly have one and it's hanging in their car. I noticed it like last week and was like aww this thing is so cute and wanted to do the same. Gonna just wait for this trend to die down bc I'm sure it will lmao.' Due to limited supply, reseller bots, and soaring demand, prices have skyrocketed on resale platforms. Yes-counterfeits like 'Lafufu' exist, though they differ in quality and design. Not really. Many adult collectors love them for the nostalgia, cuteness, or sheer joy they bring.
