Fans Express Frustration Over BLACKPINK’s Album Delay Amid YG Entertainment’s Latest Announcement
On May 26, YG Entertainment revealed exciting plans for its artists, but not all news went over well with fans. In a recently shared video, CEO Yang Hyun Suk unveiled that BABYMONSTER is set to drop a mini album this fall, while TREASURE is gearing up for a world tour kicking off in October.
Of particular interest to fans was news regarding the beloved girl group BLACKPINK. Yang stated,
"BLACKPINK will stand in front of fans for the first time in a long time. Although there is no confirmed date yet, we will announce news of BLACKPINK’s new song soon.”
While fans eagerly anticipated this announcement, their excitement turned to frustration as only 10 seconds of the eight-minute video addressed BLACKPINK. Despite the imminent start of their tour on July 5, no specific release dates for the new music were provided.
In response to mounting fan frustration over the delay in album releases, Yang addressed concerns by stating,
“To improve this, we have changed a lot of YG’s internal systems."
Despite this assurance, many fans took to social media to express their bewilderment and dissatisfaction. Comments ranged from disappointment over the lack of details to bewilderment about the inability to confirm release dates, exemplifying the community’s sense of urgency and anticipation:
- “YG never changes. Are they not ashamed of showing the face of a criminal…”
- “How are they going to post a comeback schedule video and not confirm the dates?”
- “Shouldn’t they be printing albums by now…?”
Fans have made it clear: they’re ready for new music from BLACKPINK, and they’re eager for clarity as the tour approaches.
