Possibly K-pop’s hottest girl group of today, Blackpink has drawn in a massive following since its debut in 2016. The group recently unveiled title posters on Instagram and Twitter for its new single Pink Venom, which releases on August 19. The group also shared a teaser on its official YouTube channel to further add to the hype.
But that’s not all fans have to look forward to. The girls also announced their upcoming world tour dates, which will run from October this year until June 2023. It’s confirmed that the group will perform in Hong Kong on January 13 and 14, making them likely to be the first K-pop group to visit the city since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
And finally, after two years of waiting since “The Album” was released in 2020, the group will drop its second album “Born Pink” on September 16.
