BLACKPINK Drops 'Jump' MV Teaser After DEADLINE Tour Kickoff; BLINKs Hail It ‘Song Of The Year'
BLACKPINK kicked off their highly anticipated 2025 world tour, DEADLINE, on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in Korea, and the opening night was nothing short of electrifying. The biggest surprise of the night came when the iconic K-pop girl group unveiled the teaser for their upcoming music video Jump, sending BLINKs into a frenzy. Titled Ready To Jump, the teaser was released live during the concert and confirmed that the song will drop on July 11 at 1 p.m. KST.
ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE and JISOO lit up the stage with back-to-back performances of some of BLACKPINK's most loved hits including 'Lovesick Girls," 'Pink Venom" and 'How You Like That." These songs were performed live for the first time in over a year, following the conclusion of their Born Pink world tour in 2023. The group took a hiatus afterward to focus on their solo careers before reuniting in February this year.
Each member also got a solo segment during the show. JISOO performed songs from her EP Amortage, while LISA, JENNIE and ROSÉ brought their solo albums Alter Ego, Ruby and rosie to life on stage. However, it was the debut of their unreleased track Jump that truly stole the spotlight. The girls performed the song not once but twice during the concert, thrilling fans who had long awaited new music from the group.
Jump marks BLACKPINK's first group song since the release of The Girls in 2023 and their 2022 album Born Pink, which topped the Billboard 200. With rumors swirling about more music on the way, BLINKs have high hopes for a massive comeback.
Fan reactions online have been euphoric. One BLINK declared Jump the 'SONG OF THE YEAR," while another wrote, 'THIS GONNA BE BIG BIG BIG!" Comments like 'THE LEGEND IS BACKKK" and 'THE GIRLS COMING!" flooded social media, showing the group's global fandom is as strong as ever.
The DEADLINE tour will next head to Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, New York, Paris, Milan, Barcelona, London, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Jakarta, Bulacan, Singapore, Tokyo and wrap up in Hong Kong in January 2026.

Who is Jorge? BLACKPINK Jennie's Like Jennie song producer sparks fanwar after controversial remarks about TWICE
Fanwars - a battleground in the K-pop world - often unfold online, where fans fiercely defend their favourite idols over everything from minor style choices to major controversies. And while most of these battles stay within fandom circles, things tend to escalate when industry names jump in, sometimes unintentionally fanning the flames. That's exactly what happened recently after TWICE, the popular nine-member girl group, released a teaser for their upcoming album This Is For. Fans were quick to praise the group's stunning visuals and speculate about the concept. But soon after, some BLACKPINK fans alleged that TWICE's teaser bore a strong resemblance to Jennie's solo debut Like Jennie, accusing the group of copying her style and aesthetic. BLACKPINK vs TWICE: Fanwar ignites online The tension exploded across social media, with BLINKs and ONCEs taking sides - defending their artists while throwing shade at the other group. In the middle of the debate, some ONCEs pointed out that Like Jennie itself wasn't free from controversy when it dropped. Back when Jennie's solo track was first released, it drew criticism for its similarities to Rani's Intro Theme from the Bollywood film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. While some fans cried plagiarism, others - including the original composer Pritam - dismissed the claims, saying that overlapping influences in music are common and often coincidental. Jorge enters the chat As the online debate escalated, Jorge Antonio Alfonzo Sr., one of the co-producers of Like Jennie (alongside Diplo and LeClair), stepped in with a comment that only intensified the situation. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Jorge responded to accusations that Like Jennie was a sample by posting: "I made Like Jennie who the f*ck is TWICE lol." talk once get smacked TWICE The post didn't sit well with many. TWICE fans quickly pushed back, calling his comment disrespectful and unprofessional. Realizing the backlash, Jorge attempted to clarify his tone, writing: "Damn I didn't mean to be rude but you guys must try to know how music actually works - much love," before deleting the original post. "Defending his work" He was EXTREMELY disrespectful not only towards Twice; He was disrespectful towards the other producers that worked on Like Jennie and on This is for, he was disrespectful towars the compositors, Towards JENNIE AND TWICE A Producer should've NEVER say this Past controversies resurface Despite the clarification, the criticism didn't stop. Some fans began digging into Jorge's past post. One of the screenshots doing the round was of him taking about Like Jennie where he said, "I made those drums & synths on Like Jennie. It's ok, it's just a Brazilian drum rhythm. If they use a similar melody I could lawsuit them". So Jennie's producers are just like her fans, fre@ks obsessed with clout and yourself admitted it's "just a Brazilian rhythm" a few days tf are you?? Not just that, ONCE even unearthed alleged instances of him using racist language, including repeated use of the N-word. Outraged fans began contacting his workplace, questioning how such comments could be overlooked. This is the kind of people you are working with... @maddecent As the backlash grew, Jorge ultimately made his X account private, stepping back from the public eye - at least for now. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.

‘Shogun' star Cosmo Jarvis replaced by Logan Marshall-Green in Christopher Nolan's ‘The Odyssey'
Cosmo Jarvis, best known for his recent role in FX's 'Shogun' and war drama 'Warfare', will no longer be joining the ensemble cast of Christopher Nolan's much-anticipated epic 'The Odyssey'. The actor was initially attached to the Universal Pictures production but has exited due to scheduling conflicts, according to industry sources. Jarvis is now preparing to lead the biopic 'Young Stalin', in which he will portray the early life of the infamous Soviet leader. With filming underway on multiple fronts, his commitment to that project reportedly clashed with the shooting schedule for 'The Odyssey', forcing him to step down from Nolan's ambitious adaptation. Jarvis' role in 'The Odyssey'—details of which remain closely guarded—has since been filled by Logan Marshall-Green, known for his work in 'Prometheus' and 'The Defeated'. The recasting was first reported by Deadline. 'The Odyssey', currently filming in locations including Morocco, Italy, Ireland, and Scotland, is based on Homer's ancient Greek epic poem. The film will be released in IMAX on July 17, 2026, and stars Matt Damon as Odysseus, King of Ithaca, who must navigate a treacherous return journey home following the Trojan War. Along his perilous voyage, Odysseus encounters mythical beings such as Polyphemus the Cyclops, the Sirens, the nymph Calypso, and the witch goddess Circe. Back in Ithaca, his wife Penelope cleverly fends off persistent suitors by unravelling a tapestry each night, clinging to the hope of her husband's return. His memory is kept alive by his son Telemachus, played by Tom Holland. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and Anne Hathaway, with Greek gods such as Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus also set to appear in the narrative.
