BLACKPINK's comeback POSTPONED; K-Pop superstars gearing up for EPIC 10th anniversary celebrations and world tour

BLACKPINK's long-awaited comeback has been officially moved to January 2026 to allow the group to perfect their new album and accommodate their intense world tour schedule, according to a report by Maeil Business Star Today.

Initial rumors suggested a mid-December release, but YG Entertainment clarified that although the music video is already shot and the album is nearly complete, no fixed release date is confirmed yet. Yonhap News reports this upcoming comeback is shaping up to be an important milestone.

A significant return after four years

The group's last studio album, Born Pink, was released in September 2022, making this their first full album in nearly four years.

Earlier this year, BLACKPINK dropped the single 'JUMP' which served as a teaser of their musical direction. Fans eagerly anticipate the new album which is expected to showcase fresh sounds and the growth of each member.

Balancing solo paths and group unity

In recent years, BLACKPINK members have increasingly focused on solo projects and individual growth, cementing their international presence beyond the group. At the same time, Blackpink continues to solidify their group identity by connecting with global fans through their ongoing world tour 'DEADLINE', which started in Goyang this July.

Highlight moments include the groundbreaking concert at the historic Wembley Stadium in London this August, marking a first for any K-pop girl group.

Looking ahead to a milestone year

Debuting in August 2016, Blackpink will celebrate their 10th anniversary with a spectacular comeback and continued world tour activities in 2026. This milestone promises a meaningful era filled with reflection, renewed energy, and groundbreaking performances. Alongside music, Blackpink members are also actively participating in brand endorsements and global fashion events, maintaining their status as cultural icons.
