BLINKS, the devoted fanbase of BLACKPINK, are raising questions and expressing frustration over the silence surrounding the group's future plans. This comes in the wake of YG Entertainment's recent announcement of release plans for other artists but no mention of BLACKPINK's activities.
Since the members of BLACKPINK embarked on their solo endeavors with different agencies, fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the group's collective projects. Despite successful solo ventures, including music releases and endorsements, fans are keen on updates about BLACKPINK as a whole.
BLACKPINK's last studio album was released nearly eight years ago, with only two albums launched under YG Entertainment's label during this period. This prolonged gap between releases contrasts with industry norms, where groups often unveil new albums annually.
One BLINK expressed, "We love supporting the members in their solo activities, but we miss seeing BLACKPINK together. It's been too long since their last album, and we're eager for new music and projects from the group."
Another fan voiced concerns, stating, "Other groups are consistently active with comebacks and engagements. It's disappointing to see BLACKPINK's hiatus without clarity on when they'll return as a group."
BLACKPINK's immense success globally, marked by billions of views on YouTube, chart-topping hits, and sold-out concerts, highlights the anticipation among fans for the group's next chapter. Their influence extends beyond music, with impactful ventures in fashion, beauty, and social causes.
In recent news, BLACKPINK's slower comebacks are due to YG Entertainment's founder, Yang Hyun Suk's perfectionism and company controversies since 2019.
As global pop stars, BLACKPINK doesn't rely solely on music releases, focusing instead on brand ambassadorships and full albums. Their international status and strategic approach have led to record-breaking world tour sales, surpassing the Spice Girls.
