BLACKPINK hasn't had a release since their 2022 album Born Pink. In the past two years, all four members, including Jisoo, Rosé, Jennie, and Lisa, focused on their respective solo careers, reaching many milestones. Although they are still under YG Entertainment for their group activities and for their individual careers, the members have decided to part ways. Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa have launched their own companies, while Rosé chose to sign with THE BLACK LABEL.
The group is confirmed to make a comeback in 2025, shutting down the disbandment rumors. Following their comeback release, they will also embark on a world tour, as announced by YG Entertainment.
