Blackpink Drops Their First Single 'Pink Venom' In Nearly Two Years

Update: 19 August 2022

Ahead of their 9-month world tour, BLACKPINK has dropped their newest song, Pink Venom—the first track off their upcoming new album. The music video has already attracted more than 30 million views (and counting) since its release.

Pink Venom is the K-pop group's first single in nearly two years. According to YG Entertainment, the album, titled Born Pink, is set for release on September 16 and presold more than 1.5 million copies in just a week.

K-pop is known to spare no expense in all areas of a production, and unsurprisingly, members were decked in bold styles and designer labels like Chanel, Celine and Dior. Jisoo, for example, was spotted in a sporty look from Dior Fall/Winter 2022.

Stay tuned for more on the group's highly anticipated comeback.

A representative from YG previously confirmed that the members are in the final stages of recording their forthcoming album. They will film the music video for their title track in July, followed by an August release and "the largest-scale world tour in K-pop girl group history" later this year.

"A lot of music that is BLACKPINK-esque has been completed with much effort over a long period of time," the statement reads. "In order to expand BLACKPINK’s emotional connection with fans all over the world, they will set out for the largest-scale world tour in K-pop girl group history until the end of the year along with their comeback. Furthermore, big projects fitting of that status will continuously follow."

The first hints about the group's comeback came out last March, when Jennie revealed the news during an appearance on the Korean variety show The Game Caterers 2.

"BLACKPINK is also making a comeback soon. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but since I'm the only one here, I'll just say it. Please look forward to it," she said.

The quartet also confirmed that they were working on their next album in their June Rolling Stone cover story. Jennie told the outlet that the group is preparing for the "next busy two years," while Jisoo added, "I want to come back with music quickly."
