Seoul, Sketsa.id – Global Phenomenon Set to End Three-Year Hiatus with New Music. Industry sources confirm BLACKPINK will drop a new mini album in November 2025, marking their first group release since 2022’s record-shattering BORN PINK.

According to exclusive reports from Soompi, the quartet has already completed jacket photoshoots for the project—originally slated for October—signaling intense fan anticipation.

YG Entertainment, the group’s agency, acknowledged preparations are underway. While withholding specifics, officials confirmed an official statement is imminent. The release follows their July 2025 single JUMP, which dominated global charts across 16 countries.

Notably, the timing coincides with BLACKPINK’s ongoing DEADLINE World Tour, which has sold out 31 dates across North America, Europe, and Asia. Observers note the logistical feat required to coordinate album production amid touring—a testament to the group’s meticulous planning. Should promotions proceed as speculated, BLINKs could witness live stages of new tracks alongside fan-favorite hits.

The November drop breaks a three-year group hiatus, though members remained active through solo projects and record-breaking collaborations (Lisa’s ROCKSTAR, Rosé’s VOGUE features, Jisoo’s acting roles). Industry analysts predict the album could redefine K-pop’s 2025 landscape, with pre-orders likely to surge once YG unveils details.

As BLACKPINK gears up for their Jakarta tour stop, Indonesian BLINKs now have double the reason to celebrate: an electrifying concert and new music on the horizon.(*)
