YG Entertainment Faces Fan Backlash Over BLACKPINK’s Comeback Updates
Fans of BLACKPINK are feeling uneasy following the latest announcements from YG Entertainment. The company revealed plans for the group’s highly anticipated comeback, but many are frustrated by the lack of specific details.
On May 25, YG Entertainment released a video featuring Yang Hyun Suk, where he discussed upcoming plans for the company’s artists. The news focused on BLACKPINK’s return to group activities this year, with an exciting world tour kicking off in Seoul on July 5, 2025. This tour is expected to conclude with performances in January 2026, and while fans are eager for it, they had hoped for more immediate news regarding new music.
Yang did confirm that BLACKPINK will be releasing new songs, though he did not provide a specific release date. He used the phrase “BLACKPINK’s new tour and new songs,” indicating that multiple tracks could be on the horizon. Still, fans are left in the dark about when they can expect the music, as many were hoping for a more substantial update ahead of the summer tour.
Social media reactions reflect the discontent among fans. One user sarcastically noted how other YG groups received definitive comeback dates while BLACKPINK was left with just “soon.” Another expressed frustration that the announcement seemed to promise only a single song rather than a full album, which has many worried about the depth of the upcoming release.
Twitter users have shared their disappointment about the short mention of BLACKPINK’s future music, with some suggesting it felt casual and insufficient. "It even seems like a joke," wrote one fan, while others shared similar sentiments about the perceived lack of priority given to BLACKPINK compared to other groups.
While anticipation for the world tour is palpable, the conversation surrounding new music highlights a growing concern among the fandom. With fans eager for both a fresh sound and a strong comeback, the silence on specific dates has become a significant point of contention.
As BLACKPINK gears up for their tour, only time will tell how YG Entertainment responds to the vocal concerns from their dedicated fanbase. Stay tuned for more updates!
