On May 21, Rose attracted attention when appearing on the American variety show The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Fans expressed their excitement at seeing the female singer on the small screen after a long time, since she promoted her album rosie at the end of last year.
However, Rose's personal schedule has also caused many controversial opinions related to Blackpink's joint activities.
There is only more than 1 month left until Blackpink's "Deadline" world tour will begin, but up to now, management company YG Entertainment has not provided any information about the group's new album.
Meanwhile, Rose and the Blackpink members seem to be too busy with personal projects.
Earlier this month, 3 members Lisa, Jennie and Rose were busy attending the famous fashion event Met Gala 2025 in the US.
Immediately after that, Rose participated in many promotional activities when releasing the soundtrack song "Messy" by the Hollywood blockbuster "F1".
Lisa also continuously releases new MVs and appears in advertising activities for brands in many countries.
Jisoo is scheduled to film a new Netflix drama Boyfriend on Demand, in which she plays the female lead.
Usually, Kpop artists and groups will release albums before the tour. In 2022, Blackpink's album "Born Pink" was also released about a month before the global tour, giving the group time to carry out album promotion activities.
And before the album's release, there will be a series of photos and videos introducing the album posted 1-2 months in advance, as well as providing pre-order information (pre-booking) to fans.
But this time, although there is only more than 1 month left from the tour (the tour starts from July 5, 2025), YG has no movement about Blackpink's album.
The album name often overlap with the tour name, so it is likely that Blackpink's new album will be called "Deadline". However, this has not been confirmed or disclosed by YG in any of the posts.
The fans are very confused. They are proposing whether Blackpink will release a completely new album or just an album that removes old songs. Because the 4 members are very busy with their own work, and YG's silence also increases the concern.
Some people are concerned about how YG will organize group activities for Blackpink after all 4 members ended their individual contracts with the company.
YG's "laziness" was once again criticized. Fans believe that YG is not having an effective strategy for the group. On the contrary, the members did a great job of going solo.
Previously, YG's naming of the tour as "Deadline" received mixed reactions. Some fans mocked the name and were concerned that Blackpink's album would be made hastily and not be of guaranteed quality.
There is also speculation that this could just be a mini album with fewer songs than expected.
