When a world tour is announced, it mostly brings in excitement and cheers from fans; however, it seems to have been doing the opposite for the K-pop girl group BLACKPINK. The four girls - Jisoo, Jennie, Ros¨¦, and Lisa - who left YG Entertainment for their solo careers - will be reuniting as a group to embark on their "DEADLINE" world tour in Goyang, which will be held on July 5 and 6.
Now it has been revealed that the group has no plans to release a new album and will only unveil their new song for the first time at the concert - a song which will be added to their only 32-song discography in their almost 9-year career. Seeing this, at first the fandom called BLINKs blamed YG, but now it seems their anger is also shifting towards the four members.
This concert will be their first public appearance as a group since wrapping up their BORN PINK tour in 2023. While there is no information about the title, concept, and full release details, YG confirmed that BLACKPINK began filming the music video on June 6.
According to media reports, a renowned global filmmaker has been at the helm of the MV, which only rose anticipation for a high-impact comeback.
However, with nothing to show and just the news that the song will be out during the concert, BLINKs are removing their frustration on the four women who will be seen together after nearly three years.
Many BLINKs even believe that the four ladies - who have ventured into their solo careers with ease - seem to not have any desire to be part of the group. Especially on X (formerly known as Twitter), many were seen asking if they should start stanning another group, as they don't seem to be getting the love and respect back that they have been pouring into BLACKPINK.?
In fact, there were many tweets circulating of some reselling their BLACKPINK tickets, which they had purchased once the tour was announced, after seeing the group is only releasing a song. Fans, having no clue if the members will be allowed by YG to perform their solo songs released outside the agency, feel they may be in for a repeat of the BORN PINK tour with just one extra song.?
While the backlash continues, the group is set to begin their world tour in July. With this new MV, BLACKPINK is poised to enter a bold new chapter. The DEADLINE World Tour and its new track could redefine what the group stands for moving forward or it could also mean that this could be the final time the fandom sees them together as a group.?
