Per South Korean media, the K-pop girl group – which boasts superstar members Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo and Rosé – will be releasing a new collection of music sometime in December. The report indicates that while a firm release date is currently unknown, the album can be expected to arrive sometime in the middle of the month.

YG Entertainment has since commented on the report, per Soompi: “Nothing has been decided regarding the group’s comeback.”

The update comes after YG founder Yang Hyun Suk shared an update in August on the matter in a YG Announcement video on YouTube. Yang Hyun Suk’s full address on BLACKPINK was: “A lot of fans are curious about BLACKPINK’s album. I know that the BLACKPINK members and producers in charge of them are working very hard preparing the album. I’m hoping for BLACKPINK’s album to be out by November, at the latest. That’s what I’m pushing for – we’ll do our best to get BLACKPINK’s album out soon.”

The ‘Deadline’ tour resumes in Asia this week and will continue through December, including stops in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong.

The ongoing stadium tour from BLACKPINK mark their first headline run of dates since their record-breaking ‘Born Pink World Tour’, which ran between 2022 and 2023. Those shows also saw the group reach new heights as it was soon certified as the highest-grossing tour by a girl group – drawing over 1.8million fans.

Most recently, Jisoo teamed up with former One Direction star Zayn Malik to release the single ‘Eyes Closed’.
