After nearly three years, BLACKPINK is finally reuniting for a full-group comeback in June 2025. The release will be their first since BORN PINK and is set to kick off a massive world tour starting July 5 in South Korea. With the members busy on solo ventures since their last album, fans are eager to see them back together on stage.
However, it seems that none of the members are currently in the same location to begin preparations for the comeback. Many fans had expected the group to reunite in South Korea after Lisa and Jennie's performances at 2025 Coachella, with Ros¨¦ and Jisoo joining them to start filming music videos and recording. Yet, all four members remain engaged with their individual schedules.
While BLACKPINK's comeback remains uncertain, the members are keeping busy with individual schedules across the globe. Lisa was recently spotted enjoying a cozy outing in Italy with rumored partner Fr¨¦d¨¦ric Arnault. She also attended a Bvlgari event in Sicily, drawing major attention.
Ros¨¦ is currently in the U.S. and set to appear on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Wednesday, May 28¡ªa booking that has sparked mixed reactions among fans.
Meanwhile, Jisoo is reportedly preparing for her Cannes Film Festival debut, tied to her role in an upcoming action-thriller. Although not officially confirmed, Korean media and observant fans believe her attendance is likely.
Jennie, who made waves at Cannes 2023 with The Idol, may also be making a return this year. She was recently seen in Paris, further fueling speculation about another red carpet appearance.
With just over a month left before the world tour kicks off, fans are growing increasingly concerned. YG Entertainment previously announced that BLACKPINK would make a comeback in June, yet the members have not returned to Seoul to begin preparations.?
Many took to X (formerly Twitter) to question whether the group is taking their comeback seriously. Some pointed out that the group faced heavy criticism for underwhelming performances during the BORN PINK World Tour, and fear history may repeat itself if the members don't make time for rehearsals and planning.
One said, "Peppa Pig had a sibling before the f***ing BLACKPINK comeback."
Another commented, "45 days left for the tour and BLACKPINK are literally everywhere but in the studio/practice room."?
One wrote, "Blinks believing in a BLACKPINK comeback."
Another added, "Someone said BLACKPINK¡¯s comeback is like the GT6 of the K-pop industry ¡ª and honestly, REAL."?
A fan speculated, "I think the BLACKPINK comeback won't happen before the tour because they can't possibly release an album in less than two months. Though, looking at the current tour schedule, it's possible they could release something between August and January 2026, as there¡¯s a big gap in dates."
Another simply asked, "Are we having a comeback orrr what, BLACKPINK?"
BLACKPINK first teased their upcoming tour on February 19, when YG Entertainment released a poster revealing a 10-city stadium run with 13 dates across East Asia, North America, and Europe. On May 16, the group officially announced the tour's title: Deadline World Tour.?
However, some fans took issue with the name, speculating that "Deadline" might hint at this being the group's final activities together.? ?
