Where is the comeback?
YG Entertainment had previously described the event as "the pinnacle of BLACKPINK's live performance," promising an unforgettable experience. With each member refining her craft through both group and solo ventures, fans anticipated a top-tier production that would highlight their artistic growth.
However, many BLINKs are frustrated by the group's limited discography¡ªjust 32 songs in an eight-year career. Despite BLACKPINK's global success, the small number of tracks has long been a point of contention among fans, who had hoped for more consistent releases over the years.
The disappointment only grew when YG's Yang Hyun-suk recently unveiled his agency's future plans. Regarding BLACKPINK, he simply mentioned that a new single would be released¡ªfalling far short of fans' expectations for a full album. Since that vague announcement, no further updates about the song have been shared.
WHERE'S THE COMEBACK?????????

Adding to the frustration, fans have noted the lack of promotional content. There have been no new group photos released by YG, leaving many wondering about the current status of BLACKPINK's comeback. With each member busy with solo endeavors, the group's collective presence has been virtually nonexistent, fueling concern and disappointment within the fandom.
