The wait is almost over, BLINKs!
How you like that, BLINKs? BLACKPINK announced on Wednesday (Jan. 14) that its highly anticipated new album is set to arrive in just a matter of weeks — on Feb. 27.
The album, titled Deadline, was announced via the K-pop supergroup’s social media accounts. According to the Instagram post, it will be a mini album. No other details have been revealed yet. The title of the upcoming release is the same as the global superstars’ world tour in 2025, which kicked off July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex in South Korea. It was the first time JENNIE, JISOO, ROSÉ and LISA had performed together as a unit since 2023.
The women had taken some time off from the group to focus on their own personal projects, which included solo albums, as well as acting projects such as HBO’s The Idol for JENNIE, and The White Lotus season three for LISA.
Ahead of the Deadline World Tour in 2025, the group reunited to record “Jump,” its high-energy new song, which was officially released on July 11. The track debuted and peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the July 28-dated chart. It remained on the tally for 10 weeks.
In JENNIE’s January 2025 Billboard cover story, she shared that she had missed the rest of the girls during their time apart to focus on their solo projects. However, she teased that big things were to come for the group: “I want to say it’s going to be the most powerful [versions] of ourselves that anyone has seen.”
