BLACKPINK comeback in the second half of 2024, fans "stand still"

After 4 female idols left YG to form their own label, promoting their individual activities, Korean media continued to release information about the time of BLACKPINK's comeback this year.

In less than 3 months of the year, BLACKPINK members have had extremely productive individual activities. This makes fans extremely happy that they are no longer afraid of "hunger" like the time YG let the girls go to "enlist" every year.

However, this also raised concerns that it will be a long time before BLACKPINK returns to group activities as announced by the agency earlier.

In the midst of extreme confusion in the BLINK community, recently, reporter Lee Chang Hee of Korean media gave the comments of domestic researchers about BLACKPINK's activities for the future of YG.

Accordingly, Hana Securities predicts that BLACKPINK's large-scale tour with a long hiatus will be repeated. There were rumors that the 4 beautiful girls would return in Q4 2024.

This will be followed by a world tour in 2025 and a comeback in 2026. Experts also estimate that YG Entertainment's annual performance fluctuations will increase depending on BLACKPINK's activities.

Lee Hwa Jeong, a researcher at NH Investment & Securities, said, "Since YG relies heavily on BLACKPINK, the stock price is likely to repeat the same movements.

To take a more conservative measurement, we changed the expected release date of BLACKPINK's next new album to 2025 but YG Entertainment's stock price doesn't reflect any expectations.

In other words, YG hopes to regain success for BABYMONSTER and TREASURE's upcoming albums in the first half of the year and a specific schedule for BLACKPINK's group activities in the second half of 2024."

Earlier in mid-January 2024, South Korean news site Ten Asia also published Lee Ki Hoon's comment at Hana Securities about BLACKPINK's comeback schedule:

"It will take time to confirm the scale of the entire tour until BLACKPINK's next comeback. Estimated around Q2 and Q3 of this year."

However, in mid-February 2024, a YG official said it is unlikely to see BLACKPINK's comeback this year as the members are focusing on individual activities.

However, the person also shared, "Since the members are aware of the fans' expectations for BLACKPINK with a full lineup, discussions about this matter will take place periodically."

Remember in November 2023, BLACKPINK made fans burst when they decided to re-sign a group contract with their agency YG. However, all 4 girls did not renew their individual contracts. BLACKPINK and YG maintain a "unique" cooperation model, group activities in one place, individual activities one way.

Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo have all announced their own companies, where they will develop themselves as multidisciplinary artists and soon Rosé. Since leaving the "house" with 7 years, the 4 girls "exploded" continuously, were extremely active and even prepared their own solo productions and filmed new films.

Notably, in a recent TV show, the main rapper BLACKPINK implied that YG was "holding back" his activities. She talks about the promising future with her debut album being finalized and wants to do things that haven't been tried in 7 years.

In addition, the female idol born in 1996 also teased new music collaborating with rapper Matt Champion. At the present time, she continuously participates in Korea's top entertainment shows, her name is extremely viral even though she is no longer active under YG Entertainment.

However, it is undeniable that the "giant" of the entertainment industry has also done something rare in 7 years of BLACKPINK management. That is for all members to debut solo, building a solid personal fanbase for each gir.l.

This sparked speculation that female idols were restrained by their former management company while under their belt.
