BLACKPINK and GOT7's Jackson Wang are the proud representatives of Kpop in the latest campaign of international sports brand Adidas.
In the latest ad of Adidas, the brand introduced its latest celebrity ambassadors including BLACKPINK and GOT's Jackson. The Kpop idols join international stars like Pharrell Williams, Anitta, and Ninja.
The campaign was scheduled to release during the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards with the slogan, Change is a Team Sport, reported All Kpop.
Apart from the Adidas campaign, BLACKPINK is expected to kick off its activities with a bang for 2020. After concluding their successful Your Area World Tour last year for their megahit comeback Kill This Love, Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo and Rose are expected to replicate their success this year with another world tour.
According to a report from Somag, BLACKPINK is expecting to make their comeback sometime this March. The article cited the official statement from YG Entertainment on Naver, and the label revealed that the comeback could take place sometime between March and April.
The article also confirmed that Jennie, Jisoo Lisa and Rose will embark on a major world tour after releasing their comeback. In a statement last year, YG Entertainment assured fans that BLACKPINK members are already hard at work recording songs for their new album, even as they embarked on the final leg of their Japan tour.
Fans are holding out hope that with the early release of BLACKPINK's comeback this year, YG will cater to the demands of BLINKs to have at least two comebacks for the members like other idol groups.
Fans have recently aired their dissatisfaction over the way YG has been handling the superstar girl group despite their global success. They compared BLACKPINK's comeback schedules to other girl groups who have two to three comebacks a year. Other girl groups also have prominent exposures in music shows as they promote locally.
Fans also demanded that YG Entertainment fulfill its promise to release solo albums for Rose, Lisa, and Jisoo. Jennie's solo debut entitled Solo was well received by BLINKs all around the world and set new records for YouTube viewership. However, fans were disappointed that the other members were not able to make their solo debut.
Rose was reportedly working on her solo album last year to the delight of fans. However, there was no news about Lisa or Jisoo's solo debuts anytime soon. BLACKPINK will complete the final concert of their Your Area World Tour at the Yafuoku! Dome in Fukuoka on February 22.
