BLACKPINK’s full-group comeback has been officially confirmed by Yang Hyun-suk, the former head of YG Entertainment. This news has sparked excitement about the group's return.

Yang Hyun-suk revealed the comeback and world tour plans in a video about the '2025 YG Plan' released on July 21. This will be BLACKPINK’s first full-group comeback since their second studio album, 'PINK VENOM,' which came out in September 2022—over three years ago.

This confirmation is a relief to fans who were worried about the group's future. There were concerns about the comeback due to uncertainties about contract renewals and YG’s past communication issues. Despite these challenges, YG has managed to keep the team IP, even though BLACKPINK members have been busy with their solo careers.

Here’s a look at what the members have been up to:

• Jisoo: Jisoo is slowly transitioning into acting while managing her label 'BLISSOO.' She’s made a mark with her debut single album 'ME,' which has hit 1 billion streams on YouTube Music. Her Instagram following is also nearing 80 million. However, there are no new updates on her acting projects yet.
• Rosé: Rosé has joined The Black Label, a company founded by producer Teddy. She previously worked with Teddy on BLACKPINK’s hits. Rosé chose The Black Label over re-signing with YG and has been seen with Ron Perry from Columbia Records.
• Jennie: Jennie launched her label ODD ATELIER in November 2023. She’s been active with her solo track 'SPOT,' a collaboration with Zico, and made her acting debut in HBO’s 'The Idol.' Jennie faced some controversy over a smoking video on her YouTube channel, which led to an apology.
• Lisa: Lisa founded her label LALOUD Co. and signed with RCA Records in April. Her relationship with Frédéric Arnault of the LVMH family and her solo track 'ROCKSTAR' have made headlines. However, she faced backlash over allegations of plagiarism related to her music video.

The full details of BLACKPINK’s upcoming activities with Yang Hyun-suk are still to be seen. It will be interesting to see how this shapes YG’s future plans, which also include comebacks from 2NE1’s members and new girl groups.
