More details about their album are still vague, but teasers are already being dropped, giving fans and netizens particularly BLINKs (fandom of BLACKPINK) what will be the concept of their much-awaited return.
In particular, the two songs that were released prior to their comeback showed the two opposite charms and images of BLACKPINK. "How You Like That," highlighted an intense dance with girl crush aura and their black-side vibes, while "Ice Cream," showed the cutesy and pink side of BLACKPINK, unveiling a pop genre.
As of now, the latest report from YG Entertainment confirmed that the first pre-orders for "THE ALBUM" totaled 800,000 copies within six days of pre-orders. The figure was added up about a month before the album's release, and actual sales are expected to increase further.
