BLACKPINK is ramping up preparations for their highly anticipated "Deadline" world tour, and the excitement among BLINKs (BLACKPINK's fanbase) is palpable. Adding fuel to the fire, Jisoo shared rehearsal photos on her Instagram, offering a sneak peek into the group's practice sessions. The images feature Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie hard at work, rehearsing on stage and doing sound checks, signaling that the tour is imminent.
Jisoo's Instagram post, captioned "DEADLINE Let's Goooooooo" alongside black and pink heart emojis, has further ignited fan enthusiasm. Jennie also shared photos and video clips, including one of her descending from above on a lift during a rehearsal. The members are seen dressed casually and comfortably in sunglasses, hats, and relaxed outfits, braving the summer heat. Jisoo also posted a picture of her signature pink microphone, complete with her name label. Jennie's caption read, "DEADLINE TOUR STARTS TOMORROW," further building anticipation.
Adding to the excitement, BLACKPINK has released a teaser clip hinting at a new song called "Jump". This marks their first group release since their 2022 album "Born Pink," which broke streaming records and topped charts worldwide. The minimalist teaser, revealed on their official Instagram page, features the song title in bold with a pulsing visual, sending fans into a frenzy. While details like the release date are still under wraps, the announcement confirms that BLACKPINK is making music together, quelling speculation about their future.
The "Deadline" tour kicks off with two concerts at Goyang Stadium in South Korea on July 5th and 6th. The tour will then take them across the globe, including stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. YG Entertainment has reportedly confirmed that the group will perform a new song on July 5th.
The announcement of BLACKPINK's comeback and tour follows a period where individual members pursued solo projects, fashion campaigns, and acting ventures. Rosé collaborated with Bruno Mars on "APT," while Jennie and Lisa performed at Coachella. Jisoo focused on acting, with appearances in "Newtopia" and the upcoming film "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint". Despite individual successes, the members have renewed their group contracts with YG Entertainment, assuring fans of their continued collaboration.
BLINKs have been eagerly awaiting this moment, especially after what some perceived as a lack of group effort in recent weeks. The reunion for rehearsals and the promise of new music have reassured fans of BLACKPINK's unity. A photo shared by Jennie of all four members holding hands in a flower formation symbolized their bond and sisterhood, further easing concerns.
With the "Deadline" tour and the new single "Jump" on the horizon, BLACKPINK is poised to dominate the global music scene once again. The combination of their signature charm and a fresh new sound promises to be a "huge gift for fans" who have waited patiently for their return.
