BLACKPINK Reveals Deadline Release Date and Shares New Album Details
BLACKPINK is officially stepping back into the spotlight, and they are doing it in a way that feels impossible to ignore. The K-pop supergroup just revealed a bold new poster for their upcoming mini-album, Deadline, on Instagram, giving fans their first look at the red light version.
Rosé, Lisa, Jisoo, and Jennie all appear sharp and confident, with visuals that suggest this comeback is going to be bigger and bolder than ever.
According to updates from YG Entertainment, the album is scheduled to drop at midnight on February 27. It will include five new tracks, making it their first full-group release since Born Pink in 2022. For fans who have been waiting years to hear all four members together again, that alone is huge news.
Since their last group album, each member has stayed busy building their own solo success. Over the past three years, they have released albums, explored different creative paths, and picked up major awards along the way. Rosé in particular has been on a serious streak, earning the Song of the Year award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. It is a reminder that even when BLACKPINK is not releasing music as a full unit, the members are still dominating on their own.
Deadline also shares its name with BLACKPINK’s ongoing world tour, which recently wrapped up with massive shows in Hong Kong. The new poster’s striking vibe has fans speculating that this era could lean into a more mature and experimental direction for the group.
And then there is the unexpected twist that makes this comeback feel even more special. BLACKPINK is partnering with the National Museum of Korea to celebrate the release. Starting from February 27 and continuing into early March, the museum will light up in pink every night.
Visitors will even be able to listen to the new songs while walking through the museum’s historical exhibits. The members also recorded multilingual audio guides to help make the experience even more immersive.
After years of solo music, acting, and fashion ventures, BLACKPINK is officially reunited, and Deadline looks like it is shaping up to be an era fans will not forget.
