A Plastic Bag For RM70? YG Entertainment Slammed Over BLACKPINK's Disappointing Tour Merch
Fans are counting down the days to BLACKPINK's (블랙핑크) long-awaited reunion tour 'DEADLINE', which kicks off on 5th July 2025 (Saturday). However, with just two weeks left until the first show and still no comeback, the public is starting to get cross with YG Entertainment. Recently, the agency released merchandise details for BLACKPINK's 'DEADLINE' tour pop-up in Japan. For those wondering, K-pop concerts in Japan often have a different set of merchandise than the rest of the tour. Companies will also hold pop-ups to sell more merchandise before the concert to build hype. Unfortunately, BLACKPINK's recent merchandise list had more fans disappointed than excited. As it turns out, the products for sale consisted of the usual t-shirts, caps and cheering towels with the group and the tour's logo. However, the product that angered BLINKS (BLACKPINK fans) the most was a clear bag made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a.k.a plastic, with the BLACKPINK logo. More shockingly, the pop-up sells the plastic bag for 2,500 yen (approximately RM74) each. Understandably, this sparked a lot of backlash for YG Entertainment. Many fans argued that the company is taking advantage of fans looking forward to BLACKPINK's comeback by jacking up prices for cheap and bland merchandise. Some also slammed the lack of consideration for the designs, quipping that the label and the tour's design team are lazy and uncreative. At the same time, fans are expressing outrage toward YG Entertainment for the lack of updates regarding the tour and BLACKPINK's comeback. Many argued that the quartet has no new music released for the tour, despite only two weeks left until the first show. While there are rumours that the group will make their comeback in early July, some lamented that it's too close to the start of the tour. Overall, BLINKs lamented that the company and the group seemed unprepared for the tour. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree that everything is too rushed?

BLINKs, Did You Hear? BLACKPINK Is All Set To Come Back With New Music
Last Updated: BLACKPINK's agency has earlier confirmed that the girl group began shooting for their upcoming music video on June 6. BLINKs, are you ready? Because your wait might finally be over as BLACKPINK is making a full group comeback soon. As reported, the four-membered K-pop girl group, comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rose, is returning with new music after what feels like ages. It will be nearly three years after their second album, Born Pink, when the group will release a new project. On Thursday, June 19, JTBC Entertainment News quoted industry insiders who stated that BLACKPINK is all set to make a full group comeback in July this year. After reports went rife, YG Entertainment released a statement, keeping the details of the group's upcoming project under wraps. They said, 'We will share details through an official promotion at a later date." Earlier, BLACKPINK's agency confirmed that the girl group began shooting for their upcoming music video on June 6. The shoot reportedly took place in South Korea under the supervision of a renowned director, whose name was not revealed. With this, the excitement around BLACKPINK's return as a group has increased manifold. Meanwhile, back in February, YG Entertainment surprised BLINKs by announcing BLACKPINK's new world tour. This tour marks the group's first major comeback since their record-breaking Born Pink World Tour (2022-2023), which sold over 1.8 million tickets across 66 shows. The agency has confirmed that the tour will feature new music, never-before-seen performances, and immersive stage production. The upcoming tour, titled Deadline World Tour, is their first all-stadium tour, which is beginning on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea. BLACKPINK will have several shows in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, before concluding their much-awaited tour in January 2026, at the Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, China. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BLΛƆKPIИK (@blackpinkofficial) FYI, the globally renowned K-pop girl group went on a hiatus following their Born Pink World Tour in September 2023. The four members kept group activities on hold and focused on their solo music as well as acting projects. All the BLACKPINK members have now released their individual albums since the hiatus. While Rose released Rosie in December last year, Lisa dropped her first studio album, Alter Ego, in February 2025. Jisoo released Amortage, and Jennie dropped Ruby earlier this year.

BLINKs trend 'we want BLACKPINK comeback'; question YG over Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa's absence
For days now, there has been growing buzz surrounding BLACKPINK's comeback. However, the group's prolonged silence has only added to fans' frustration. Initial rumours pointed to a release at the end of June, but on June 19, speculation resurfaced after a media outlet reported that the group is expected to drop a new single in early July. The report cited insiders who claimed that filming for the music video had already begun earlier this month. However, in response to all these claims, YG Entertainment curtly stated, "We will notify you through the group's official promotion schedule," according to allkpop website. The brief comment, while not denying the report, has done little to ease the mounting tension among fans. ITS WAS JUST CONFIRMED BLACKPINK WILL MAKE THEIR COMEBACK IN EARLY JULY FR BLINKS GET UP BLINKs call out YG's silence Since Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa ended their individual contracts with YG Entertainment in 2023, they've each established solo careers and agencies. Despite YG retaining rights to BLACKPINK's group activities, there's been little to no communication about their return as a four-member act. While each member remains active in their own ventures, OT4 fans — known as BLINKs — have been left stranded. Many have had to split attention between solo fandoms, holding onto hope for a reunion that hasn't come. This frustration exploded online, with "WE WANT BLACKPINK COMEBACK" trended on X (formerly Twitter) with fans demanding answers about the absence of the girls and the agency's handling of the group. BLACKPINK, the biggest girl group in the world, hasn't had any songs in over a THOUSAND days. YGE, listen… their tour begins in just two weeks, we need a teaser for new music, stop sabotaging your moneymaker!WE WANT BLACKPINK COMEBACK #YGWhereIsBLACKPINK @ygent_official YOU CANT TAKE OUR LOYALTY FOR GRANTED..

Sources earlier revealed that BLACKPINK filmed a music video on June 6, and YG confirmed the shoot, adding that a globally renowned director is involved. Yet, no teasers, images, or promotional material have followed — and that silence has fans worried. The group's world tour, "DEADLINE," is scheduled to begin July 5–6 at Goyang Stadium. But with no official comeback announcement, fans are left guessing whether the tour will include new music — or if it's yet another performance cycle relying on past hits as the group in total has only 32 songs in their almost 9 year career. #BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR IN GOYANG#블랙핑크 #WORLDTOUR #DEADLINE #DEADLINE_IN_GOYANG #YG For now, the anticipation is matched only by disappointment, as BLINKs continue to ask: Where is BLACKPINK?

BLACKPINK to release new music in June before DEADLINE World Tour with Goyang concert? Here's what we know
Exciting news for BLINKs! BLACKPINK is set to return with full-group activities, and reportedly, we won't have to wait long before that happens. The girl group members are expected to drop a new single or album soon. They are also scheduled to head to their third world tour, following In Your Area and the last 2022-23 Born Pink concerts. Regarding their upcoming schedule, new updates were shared by the K-media outlet Busan Ilbo on June 17. BLACKPINK reported to release new music before DEADLINE tour The K-pop quartet consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa might be releasing new music ahead of their upcoming 2025 DEADLINE World Tour, commencing on July 5 at Goyang. It was mentioned in Busan Ilbo's article about the forthcoming girl group musical releases. They reported, "Girl group BLACKPINK will also release a new song as early as this month and begin full group promotions." However, there were no mentions of an album creation. It re-sparked discussions of the musical comeback being just a single and not a full-length album, disappointing fans. The previous instance of such speculation was when YG Entertainment 's General Producer Yang Hyun Suk announced plans for the label's girl groups in May. He said BLACKPINK's new "song" could be "announced soon," without any hint of an album. Check out fan reaction to BLACKPINK's June song release report BLINKs are unwilling to believe any reports regarding BLACKPINK's music release unless the girl group drops a teaser for the same. According to YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK began filming the music video for the new song on June 6. If it were scheduled to be released by the end of this month, an official notice would have been issued by now. A teaser or promotional schedule of the same would have been released as well. These concerns deterred fans from holding onto hope for new musical offerings by the quartet, unless the news came directly from YGE. Comments like "we are not moving until the teaser and pre save link is posted" and "its a lie until i see the teaser" flooded social media.
