It is a bittersweet week for BLACKPINK. The group released a new CF for a major banking group. Then Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa hit one billion views on YouTube for their "DDU-DU DDU-DU" song earlier this week. It was followed by BLACKPINK making it to the TIME's 100 Next list. But then, YG Entertainment announced the delay of BLACKPINK comeback.
According to Mirror, the K-pop group's label, YG Entertainment, has confirmed that BLACKPINK's comeback is not happening this year. The agency announced that BLACKPINK's comeback has been pushed back to 2020.
BLACKPINK fans are heartbroken after YG Entertainment announced that the quartet will release a new album next year. Blinks are now demanding YG for an explanation as to why they have to wait until next year to hear new music from the "Kill This Love" hitmakers.
BLACKPINK's most recent comeback was in April when they released their second EP, Kill This Love. Blinks are hoping for at least two comebacks each year from the girls.
In September, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa confirmed that they are working on a new album. This made fans to anticipate a comeback this month or before the year ends. YG, however, crashed all hopes of a new album when it announced that the group's comeback will be in 2020.
The delay sparked the hashtag #BLACKPINKLEAVEYG and it trended worldwide as fans encourage the four members of the group to leave their label. BLACKPINK fans expressed their frustration as to why YG is not taking advantage of the girls' popularity and talent and holding back on their anticipated comeback.
Aside from their hit songs and strong fandom, BLACKPINK also got featured on the latest TIME's 100 Next list, which recognizes the most influential people in the world. The magazine's new list puts a spotlight on the 100 rising stars who are making an impact in shaping the future of business, politics, entertainment, sports, science, health and more. The list also includes singer Camila Cabello.
Despite fans' disappointment on YG Entertainment and the delayed of BLACKPINK comeback, Blinks showed their full support on the K-pop female group's latest endorsement CF. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa stunned their fans with their talent and visuals in the music video CF for a Thai banking group Kasikornbank, also known as KBank.
The company recently released a two-minute CF that featured the BLACKPINK members. In the clip, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa showed off their gorgeous visuals and physique in black and pink outfits. The CF also features the girls singing and rapping in English.
