BLACKPINK releases shocking announcement, world holds its breath, one member preparing to leave the group to have a baby?

YG recently caused a global sensation by officially confirming BLACKPINK 's return with a mini-album after a long hiatus. However, the joy was short-lived as rumors surfaced that one member was preparing to leave the group to get married and have children with her husband.

"DEADLINE" sets the date for the outbreak: The whole world enters readiness mode.

With just 19 short seconds of the recently released teaser video, BLACKPINK has truly shaken the global music scene. The group officially confirmed their comeback with their third mini-album titled DEADLINE, scheduled for release at 1 PM on February 27, 2026 (Korean time). This marks the full reunion of the four members after a long period focusing on individual projects and their group single JUMP, which was released in mid-2025.

Immediately after the announcement, the global BLINK community went into a state of "high readiness." Although YG kept the tracklist and main style a secret, the name DEADLINE evoked many thoughts of a powerful, decisive, and authoritative concept. However, alongside the excitement, some fans couldn't hide their disappointment that their idols were only releasing a mini-album instead of a full album as they had been hoping for for years. Many humorous and worried comments suggested that, given YG's tradition of releasing albums in small batches, they hoped this wasn't just an upgraded version of old songs.

Rumors are circulating that Lisa is getting married and planning to take a break from her career to get pregnant.

Amidst the hype surrounding their comeback, information about member Lisa's private life unexpectedly became the spark that ignited heated debates. Sohu recently published shocking information, claiming that the Thai idol secretly registered her marriage in France with her wealthy boyfriend, Frédéric Arnault. Even more noteworthy, the source also stated that Lisa is planning to temporarily suspend all artistic activities for an extended period to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth with the LVMH heir.

According to Chinese media, after more than two years of a tumultuous relationship, the couple has reached a decisive turning point. Lisa's decision to "step back" to focus on her family is believed to be the reason for her limited appearances in the group's long-term projects. However, this is still only one-sided information from the Chinese press. To date, neither Lisa nor YG Entertainment have remained silent, offering any confirmation or denial, further fueling public speculation about the future of BLACKPINK's youngest member.

A dramatic return on the threshold of destiny.

The combination of a comeback announcement and rumors of a member leaving the group to start a family has created an incredibly dramatic scenario for the entertainment industry at the beginning of 2026. If the marriage rumors are true, DEADLINE could very well take on its true meaning – a "deadline" for the golden lineup before the members go their separate ways in life.

While the truth about the pregnancy remains a big question mark, the appeal of the BLACKPINK brand is undeniable. The whole world is holding its breath until February 27th to see if the power of music can overcome the controversies surrounding their personal lives, and whether this will be a brilliant new beginning or a poignant farewell to a legend.
