After nearly 600 days away from the KPOP scene, BLACKPINK is undoubtedly excited to make a comeback.

But, while it has been confirmed that the group will return soon, YG has not given a particular date, only predictions that make fans even more disappointed.

However, there has recently been fresh proof suggesting BLACKPINK's members are dropping hints.

As a result, the members of BLACKPINK appear to be actively preparing for this comeback, as they are frequently seen in the studio. Jisoo, a member, recently uploaded a new Instagram story about being immersed in music inside the studio.

Jisoo captioned the video, "The music is very nice!" Jisoo, on the other hand, has muted her video, so fans have no idea what music the female idol is referring to sounds like.

Jisoo's narrative quickly sparked speculation among fans, who assumed Jisoo was hinting BLACKPINK's anticipated comeback or her own solo. Regardless, people are still very interested in what Jisoo recorded.

Jisoo also posted a selfie from THE BLACK LABEL's studio over a week ago. She also removed the "Lovesick Girls" MV link from her bio, presumably in preparation for a new product.

Lisa was also seen outside the YG building today. With all of these suggestions being released on the same day, it is safe to assume that the members of BLACKPINK are spending time in the studio and practice room working for their next album.

BLACKPINK's most recent release is the "Lovesick Girls" MV, which was released in October 2020.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
