'Everything but the comeback': BLINKs slam YG over BLACKPINK's lack of new music before DEADLINE world tour
Set for July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium, the concert will mark BLACKPINK's first full-group performance in nearly 1 year and 10 months. With overwhelming demand, all tickets—including limited-view seats—have completely sold out, highlighting the group's unrivaled global presence.

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—just 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—falling 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.

BLACKPINK's Rose Scores 3rd On Pop Airplay Hit After APT And Toxic Till The End
Rose's new song On My Mind with Alex Warren has debuted at No. 36 on the Pop Airplay chart. BLACKPINK's Rose has been achieving one milestone after another in her solo career. The talented South Korean singer, who had never scored a hit on top 40 radio stations in the United States on her own, changed that with her latest track. While she had earlier appeared on the Pop Airplay tally, one of Billboard's three pop radio charts, with her band, Rose's singles never made it to those charts. But that changed in a big way for her. In less than a year, Rose earned her third solo hit on the Pop Airplay chart after Apt. and Toxic Till the End. All thanks to her new track, On My Mind, with the rising pop artist Alex Warren, that made the feat possible. The duet debuted at No. 36 on the tally. With this win, Rose is among the top contenders to become the most successful K-pop artist in the history of pop radio in America. Rose first made it into the Pop Airplay chart in the US as a solo artist in November 2024 after she released her smash hit Apt., collaborating with Bruno Mars. That track, a part of her first studio album, Rosie, was a major success. It reached No. 1 and stayed there for five consecutive weeks. Apt. is still the only K-pop solo song to have topped the chart. In January 2025, Rose once again returned to the tally with her track Toxic Till the End, another song from her first solo album. It reached no. 23 on the chart. As reported by Forbes, Rose has tied with her BLACKPINK bandmate Jennie. They both now have the third-most pop radio hits among K-pop soloists in the US. Ahead of them is BTS' Jungkook, with six wins, and their groupmate Lisa, who has scored five wins on the list. Rose's third hit On My Mind moves her ahead of stars like BTS' Jimin. Among all K-pop artists, including groups and soloists, she stands in the fourth position. She shares it not only with Jennie but also with the K-pop boy band Monsta X. At the top position on the chart is the K-pop supergroup BTS. They have earned nine hits on the Pop Airplay chart. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
