Listening sessions for all tracks from the third mini-album will take place at the Gwanggaeto the Great King Stele located in the museum’s main lobby, the Path of History. Some of these sessions will be special programs available only to Spotify Premium users, with early listening starting at 8 p.m. on the 19th for those who reserved tickets through Naver. After the album is released at 2 p.m. on the 27th, everyone can participate during museum operating hours. BLACKPINK’s third mini-album “[DEADLINE]” will be released at 2 p.m. on the 27th, featuring five tracks including the title track “GO”, along with “JUMP”, “Me and my”, “Champion”, and “Fxxxboy”.
