YG Entertainment has officially announced BLACKPINK’s highly anticipated group comeback and world tour set for 2025, marking their return after three years.

On September 24, 2024, YG Entertainment confirmed the group's plans, revealing that BLACKPINK will reunite for a full-group comeback and embark on a global tour. This statement follows an earlier announcement in July 2024, making fans hopeful that the timeline will remain intact with no further delays.

However, despite the exciting news, fan reactions have been divided. Many expressed scepticism about the announcement, pointing out that YG Entertainment had previously revealed similar plans for a 2025 world tour earlier this year. Some BLINKs even wondered if the BLACKPINK members were fully aware of the company’s plans, given that all four members had reportedly terminated their individual contracts but re-signed for group activities.
