Blackpink outlines plans for return with a single, album, world tour on the way

Blackpink will be dropping a new full LP, only the group's second since its formation in 2016. – YG Entertainment

Blackpink uploaded a video clip Monday and shared some of its plans to promote its upcoming album.

The quartet will roll out its second full album in September, almost two years since its first, The Album, that reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200, a record for K-pop girl groups.

It will drop a single in advance of the full release of the album, as it did for the first LP with How You Like That and Ice Cream. From October, the bandmates will host an international tour.

According to label YG Entertainment, the project name for the band’s return is "Born Pink", condensed of its identity: far from ordinary, exuding lethal aura.

Last week, the band started shooting a music video that boasts the largest budget ever for the label. Blackpink has 12 videos with over 600 million views and 32 with more than 100 million views on YouTube. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
