BLACKPINK Set to Make New Album Comeback Three Years After Release of “JUMP”

The global mega girl group BLACKPINK, which celebrated its 9th anniversary, is expected to make a comeback with a new album approximately three years after releasing their latest single “JUMP.” YG Entertainment stated on the 11th that they would announce details through official promotions later, while BLACKPINK has already completed jacket photography for a mini-album release in November. The group caused a sensation in the global music market when they unveiled “JUMP” in July. It performed strongly on major global charts such as the U.S. Billboard chart and Spotify, particularly achieving the highest rank on the Billboard Global 200 chart—something no other K-pop girl group has done before or since—demonstrating their immense influence. The music video was directed by Grammy Award-winning director Dave Meyers, and it received praise from global fans for its highly addictive quality when the Teaser was released. Currently, BLACKPINK is on their “DEADLINE” world tour, which includes 31 performances in 16 cities. They have successfully concluded shows in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, as well as in Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Paris. Notably, the Paris concert attracted 110,000 attendees, doubling the audience size of previous tours and drawing significant attention. The group plans to continue the tour’s momentum at stadiums in major cities around the world, including Milan, Barcelona, London, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. This marks their first new song release in 2 years and 8 months. YG explained that they decided to debut the new song first at the Goyang concert because it symbolizes the starting point of a world tour aimed at reuniting with their Fandom. If the new album release in November is confirmed, it will be their first album comeback in approximately 3 years since the release of their second studio album “BORN PINK” in September 2022.
