Yang Hyun Suk’s “Unconfirming” Announcement About BLACKPINK’s 2025 Comeback Ignites Outrage

Since it was announced that BLACKPINK would resume group activities, fans have patiently waited for new music.

It was initially announced that BLACKPINK would release a new album and embark on a world tour, the latter of which began earlier this summer. The album, however, has not been officially announced, with the single “Jump” being released instead so far.

Now, the recent update about the release has sparked hot reactions.

On August 17, YG Entertainment shared a video relaying updates about the company’s groups, focusing on BABYMONSTER and TREASURE.

However, near the end of the video, Yang Hyun Suk gave updates about BLACKPINK’s upcoming album, which was revealed to be a mini-album.

First, he shared that the album was not completed, remarking that the group was working hard with producers to complete it amidst their world tour. He added that he hoped that BLACKPINK’s album would be “out by November, at the latest.”

With the long break in group activities and the time since the release of their last album, many fans were anticipating a full album, rather than a mini. This was reflected in complaints from fans who shared their disappointment with the new update, along with some harsher reactions.

3 yrs, ONLY mini album, still pushing ON November????

I take back what I said before, Blackpink going on hiatus for nearly 3 whole years only to be possibly coming back with a mini album is just crazy, so unfair to the fans tbh
