[All] Blackpink full group comeback in the second half of this year~~

Because each and every individual has now become a world-class star

I expected it would take some time for the full group comeback~~~

Oh~ Isn't it touching that Blackpink is making a full group comeback in the second half of this year??

Even the stock price is fluctuating, and it seems like BTS will start moving as a whole group after their military service in the second half of this year~

I'm filled with patriotism just thinking about how the whole world will be excited because of Korean singers. ^^

According to the music industry on the 27th, BLACKPINK finished filming the jacket for their new album in Seoul last week. As General Producer Yang Hyun-suk is pouring his heart and soul into this album, the jacket photoshoot is said to be of a global level. BLACKPINK's comeback will be their first in about 3 years since their 2nd full-length album 'Bone Pink' released on September 16, 2022.

On the 26th, Executive Producer Yang Hyun-suk stated through the YG blog, “It seems that we will soon be able to announce the release of BLACKPINK’s new song.” Since the jacket photoshoot has been completed, it is expected that this will meet global fans as an album rather than simply a new song. With all members including Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa successfully pursuing solo activities, it is expected that they will soon enter BLACKPINK’s “full group mode” and speed up work on the album.

YG is keeping quiet, saying, “Nothing has been decided yet,” but it seems that Blackpink’s new album will be released before or after their world tour.

Since last year, Executive Producer Yang Hyun-suk has been foreshadowing BLACKPINK's comeback and world tour in 2025. They have been looking forward to the days when they would work together in their 'hometown' and have prepared thoroughly by organizing a 'TF team' for BLACKPINK early on. Thanks to this, the comeback work is progressing smoothly. It is also said that the members are gradually working on their work as BLACKPINK based on their strong trust in Executive Producer Yang and YG. After showing off their solo activities to better than expected success and boasting the reputation of a top global girl group, they are known to be currently happily devoting themselves to their team work.

While working on their new album, BLACKPINK is also preparing for a tour where the four of them will perform together. It seems that global fans will be curious to see whether they will perform a performance related to their new album at the start of their world tour, which will be held at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on July 5th and 6th.

Starting with the Goyang concert in July, BLACKPINK will meet global fans at stadium-level concert halls around the world, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, ​​London, and Tokyo, through a world tour spanning 10 cities and 18 performances. Given the enthusiastic global response to BLACKPINK’s full group concert, additional concerts are expected to be confirmed soon.

As BLACKPINK, who previously recorded the highest-grossing girl group tour in history, is presenting a new tour after about 1 year and 10 months, it is said that everyone at YG, including CEO Yang, is putting in a lot of effort to create a high-quality performance. This tour will include performances of not only BLACKPINK's existing hit songs, but also many songs from the members' solo albums.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK left YG and became independent at the end of 2023. Rosé has found a new home at The Black Label, while Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo have each established their own one-person agencies. They have been releasing solo works in earnest since last fall and have achieved significant results. Rosé has set a new record for the longest-charting time for a female K-pop artist by entering the US Billboard main single chart 'Hot 100' for 30 weeks with her duet song 'Apartment' with Bruno Mars.

Jennie and Lisa caught the attention of global music fans with their powerful performances at the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2025' held in Indio, California, USA last month, and Jisoo has been showing off her unique colors in both music and acting. Recently, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa also proved their global presence by attending the '2025 Met Gala' together, the world's largest fashion charity fundraising event.
