On June 17, 2025, Busan Ilbo reported that BLACKPINK might make their group comeback as early as this June. The group reportedly started filming a new music video on June 6, which could kick off full group promotions. Their return is expected to align with the start of their Deadline world tour next month.
Although it's been nearly three years since their last album, Born Pink (released in September 2022), and members have been focusing on solo careers, YG Entertainment has not officially confirmed the comeback, released teasers, or announced an album title or date.
BLINKs (BLACKPINK fandom) are getting restless since there has been no official content from BLACKPINK as a group. Some fans feel disappointed since the tour is confirmed, yet there is no confirmation of whether the new content will be a full-length album or just a single track.
The report suggested that while other girl groups like ITZY, aespa, and ILLIT are releasing music and promoting this summer, the silence from YG Entertainment has only intensified fans’ disappointment. An X user, @JdeJoey_ , wrote,
"this year or other year ??? PLEASEEEE RELEASE THE TEASER NOOOOW!!"
Others too joined in asking for transparency and a confirmation from either the label or the members about the comeback notice. They mentioned that June is halfway done, and next month, they will be starting their tour. They questioned the possibility of an album release within a limited time.
"we are in the middle of June already," an X user mentioned.
"where is the album we need the damn album where is the album release the damn album," another one said.
"“Early this month” and June is almost half way over," a fan mentioned.
"they been saying this since early january this year btw all we get is tour dates and merchs but not even a single comeback announcement," a netizen added.
Meanwhile, many have pointed out that if the group releases a single track instead of an album after such a long wait, it would feel underwhelming.
"YG please release SONGS not just a song," a fan commented.
"A whole tour with only one new song.... This is embarrass," an X user added.
"omg we are getting a single aren’t we," another one said.
