BLACKPINK is indeed back!
On Friday, the world-renowned K-pop group finally returned to the music scene with their first full-length album, "The Album," with the title track, "Lovesick Girls."

Prior to the MV release, the hot mysterious guy was introduced through a video teaser and recent behind-the-scenes broadcast, wherein he was featured doing a cuddling scene with the main dancer and maknae Lisa.

As soon as the MV was dropped, LOREN trended on various social media platforms along with the BLACKPINK members!
