BLACKPINK Announces New Album for May, Set to Resume Global Domination with World Tour Across Asia, North America, and Europe

BLACKPINK will release a new album in May 2025, marking their first group album since “Born Pink” in 2022. This release will be accompanied by a large-scale world tour covering Asia, North America, and Europe. During their two years of solo activities, the members achieved notable success in their respective fields. Jennie pursued acting careers, Lisa broke numerous records with her solo singles, Rosé gained global pandemic-level popularity with “Apartment,” topping various international charts, and Jisoo expanded her acting experience. In particular, Rosé caused a global sensation with her collaboration track “APT.” with pop star Bruno Mars. Music critics expect strong synergy among Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé. YG Entertainment has also hinted at a fresh musical direction, raising fans’ expectations about how BLACKPINK will redefine their sound. Given that their previous world tour generated revenue of approximately 300 billion won (about $225 million), their return in 2025 is expected to have a significant economic impact on the K-pop industry. BLACKPINK’s full-group comeback is likely to write new history for K-pop as soon as it is released.
