Blackpink’s label has confirmed the girl group is aiming to drop a new album by November. YG Entertainment recently responded to a report from My Daily Korea that claimed the mini-album will have a November release date by promising to reveal all at a later date.
And now the agency’s founder Yang Hyun Suk has vowed the team will “do our best” to get the record out “by November, at the latest”.
In an update on YG’s YouTube channel, he said: “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.”
In July, the K-pop group released the Diplo-produced single Jump. It marked their first music since Jennie, Rose, Lisa and Jisoo embarked on successful solo careers.
Their last EP was 2019’s Kill This Love, with their album Born Pink following in 2022.
The group is currently on its Deadline World Tour, which saw the members play two nights at London’s Wembley Stadium on Aug 15 and 16.
The quartet will be performing two shows at Singapore’s National Stadium on Nov 29 and 30 as part of the tour.
Meanwhile, Rose was left “beyond shocked” and “speechless” over her eight MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) nominations.
The star is in contention for Video of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects for mega-hit Apt featuring Bruno Mars, as well as Best K-pop for Toxic Til The End from her solo LP Rosie.
The elated star reacted on her Instagram Stories last week: “So I’ve just heard that I’ve received eight VMA nominations. I am beyond shocked and I just don’t know what to say. I’m absolutely speechless! This is a crazy day! Whoa! It’s really, really wild! What’s happening?!”
