Amidst the global fan community's confusion over new album announcements, global girl group BLACKPINK suddenly sent a mysterious but hopeful signal.
"Lucky" signals and the expectation of reunion
Recently, the members shared a photo on social media, in which four hands touched together to form an image symbolizing a four-leaf clover â a symbol of luck and complete reunion.
The photo quickly became the focus of the fan community, not only because it was a rare image with the full appearance of all four members Jisoo, Jennie , Rosé, and Lisa after a long time focusing on individual activities, but also because of its symbolic meaning.
Many BLINKS believe this is a positive message, a promise of strong bonds and good things to come for the group's activities. After all four members renewed their group contracts with YG Entertainment at the end of 2023, the desire for a full reunion, with quality new music, is always present.
However, the joy and emotion of fans are mixed with a lot of anxiety. Because this full reunion takes place in the context of YG constantly changing the album release plan, causing fans' trust to gradually decline seriously.
Global tour and vague promises
Initially, YG Entertainment made BLINKS burst into tears when they announced that BLACKPINK would return with a new album and start a world tour in 2025. Korean media later reported many times that the album would be released before the tour started in July. There were even articles claiming that the group's new album and MV would be released no later than June.
However, as June draws to a close, YG remains surprisingly silent, with no announcements about BLACKPINK's new music. The disappointment peaked earlier this week when YG suddenly made a shocking announcement to fans:
"BLACKPINK's new song will be performed for the first time at the concert held on July 5-6 at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex. Information about the official release date will be announced in the near future."
The "gift" caused confusion and a wave of concert ticket refunds
This announcement means that there will be no album release before the " DEADLINE " tour as promised. It is highly likely that BLACKPINK will only return with 1-2 new songs, instead of a full album that the fandom has been waiting for nearly three years.
YG's lack of transparency and ambiguity in communication has pushed the patience of global fans to the limit. The BLINKS community has expressed strong indignation on social media platforms, feeling disrespected and deceived.
According to Koreaboo, BLACKPINK's comeback after nearly 3 years is something that the fan community has long been waiting for, and before that, the shows in the "DEADLINE" tour that went on sale 4 months ago recorded very good sales, many venues were almost "sold out" in a short time.
However, after YG's latest announcement, netizens discovered that BLACKPINK's concert ticket refunds are happening in places like New York and Los Angeles (USA). This is an alarming sign, showing that fans' loss of trust has turned into concrete actions, directly affecting the revenue and reputation of the tour.
Challenges Ahead and BLACKPINK's Position
The current situation poses a major challenge for both BLACKPINK and YG Entertainment. BLACKPINK, as one of the worldâs top girl groups, has a huge influence in music, fashion, and culture. However, maintaining the heat and strengthening the trust of fans requires transparency and timely, quality music products.
Now that the "DEADLINE" tour is about to kick off, all eyes are on the performance of the new song in Goyang. This is not just a concert, but also an opportunity for BLACKPINK to calm the waves of anger, and for YG to somewhat restore lost trust.
BLACKPINK's future, especially musically, will depend a lot on how the "big guys" handle this situation and whether they can deliver a complete album that is worthy of the wait of millions of BLINKS around the world.
