- BLACKPINK reunites after nine months, confirming rehearsal for the DEADLINE World Tour.
- Fans express mixed reactions over the group’s social media comeback.
- Tour to begin on July 5, 2025, spanning 31 global shows across three continents.
After months of uncertainty and scattered solo ventures, BLACKPINK has come together once again, officially beginning rehearsals for their much-awaited DEADLINE World Tour.
The reunion follows a wave of criticism from BLINKs, who voiced disappointment over minimal promotional efforts and concerns about the group prioritizing solo success over teamwork.
BLACKPINK’s Unified Comeback: A Flower in Bloom Before the Global DEADLINE Tour
The announcement of the DEADLINE World Tour was met with mixed emotions, especially as fans lamented the lack of early promotional content. Merchandise reveals, teaser visuals, and concept releases were either delayed or absent, leaving many to wonder if the tour had been hastily planned. Yet, with the group’s latest coordinated social media posts, the narrative seems to be shifting.
The flower-shaped hand gesture shared by BLACKPINK not only represented unity but also subtly referenced the group’s original message of sisterhood and solidarity. For a band that has often faced breakup rumors, such symbolism couldn’t have come at a better time. Fans quickly began flooding timelines with the photo, reigniting hope for a more engaged and present BLACKPINK era.
The tour itself is an ambitious one. Launching in South Korea on July 5, it will cover North America, Europe, and Asia, before wrapping up in Hong Kong on January 25, 2026. With 31 performances announced, this marks BLACKPINK’s longest and most expansive tour to date, a clear attempt to reconnect with global fans after nearly a year of silence.
Amid criticism, Lisa took to the fan platform Bubble to reassure BLINKs, stating the group had been rehearsing intensely. Her message, while intended to calm concerns, was met with skepticism from fans accusing YG of relying too heavily on the BLACKPINK name without offering fresh content. Yet the coordinated return of all four members could mark a turning point, both creatively and emotionally.
As rehearsals begin and the countdown to DEADLINE shortens, BLACKPINK seems determined to rewrite the narrative. For fans, the wait may finally be worth it.
