Earlier this year, YG Entertainment announced that Blackpink will return with a new album and begin a world tour in 2025.
After that, Korean media repeatedly reported that Blackpink's album would be released before the DEADLINE tour started in July. There are even articles confirming that the group's new album and MV will be released no later than June.
But until now, as it is about to end June, YG has not had any momentum in introducing Blackpink's new music product.
Notably, earlier this week, YG shocked everyone when they announced: Blackpinks new song will be performed for the first time at a concert held on July 5-6 at the main stadium of Goyang Sports Complex (Korea). Information about the official release date will be announced in the near future".
This means that no album will be released before the DEADLINE tour, and the number of new songs in the album is also confusing. Maybe Blackpink will only return with 1-2 new songs, instead of a full album as promised.
Blackpink's fans around the world were outraged and this directly affected the group's tour.
According to Koreaboo, Blackpink's comeback after nearly 3 years is something the fan community has long been looking forward to. Therefore, although YG did not provide much information to fans, the shows during the DEADLINE tour that opened for ticket sales 4 months ago still recorded very good sales, many locations have almost "sold out".
However, after YG's latest announcement, netizens discovered that Blackpink's concert ticket refunds are taking place in some places such as New York, Los Angeles (USA).
YG's negligent attitude has caused fans to lose confidence.
Meanwhile, Blackpink's global DEADLINE tour will begin with a concert at Goyang Stadium (Korea) on July 5-6.
Blackpink traveled through 16 cities with a total of 31 shows.
The tour will include stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Toronto, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung (Taiwan, China), Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong (China).
