After months of anticipation, BLACKPINK is spilling the beans on when their next project will be released … officially announcing their third mini album, “DEADLINE,” is coming Feb. 27!!!
The massive K-pop group’s label, YG Entertainment, dropped a 19-second teaser on Wednesday … and while it didn’t reveal a whole bunch, it’s enough to get the BLINK fanbase buzzing.
The clip features some fast and epic sound effects … before sharing the “DEADLINE” title — which ties in with the group’s world tour they embarked on over the past year.
Some diehards are bummed it’s not a full album, especially considering their last release, “Born Pink,” came out in 2022 … before the foursome went on a hiatus to focus on solo work. Real quick, can you solve this BLACKPINK jigsaw puzzle?
A mini album confirms it’ll be just a handful of tunes from Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé … and “Jump,” their smash hit that came out on July 11, 2025, will likely be on it.
Worth noting that Bruno Mars — Rosé’s collaborator on her chart-topping song “APT.” — is also going live with his “The Romantic” album on Feb. 27 … so it’ll be a fight for the No. 1 spot.
K-pop fans are EATING this week — not only do they have the much-needed BLACKPINK update, they also got the tour dates for BTS’ comeback tour.
“DEADLINE” will join the Pinks’ “Square Up” and “Kill this Love” on their roster of mini albums … and who knows, perhaps a full third album is still in the cards for 2026, too??
