BLACKPINK is back.On the 26th, YG Entertainment released the ‘BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR ＜ DEADLINE ＞ TRAILER’ through their official SNS, grandly opening the prelude to their world tour that will begin in earnest in July.

The video begins with a scene of Rosé calling someone from a remote phone booth in the desert.It then unfolds into a sequence of the members going on a road trip together, speeding down a long highway with background music reminiscent of a Western movie.The four members, Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo, appear sequentially, adding to the visual immersion and pleasure, and reaffirming the aura of the ‘complete’ BLACKPINK.

YG explained that this trailer was filmed on location in the desert near Lancaster, USA and in a Hollywood studio.Collaboration with famous overseas directors and the addition of a cinematic, sensational production are evaluated to have made it a complete work of art rather than a simple performance teaser.

BLACKPINK will be embarking on a world tour spanning 16 cities and 31 performances, starting with ‘DEADLINE IN GOYANG’ at the Goyang Sports Complex Main Stadium on July 5th and 6th.This stage in particular is garnering much attention from global fans as it will be the first time BLACKPINK’s new song has been released in 2 years and 8 months.

Although the specific setlist or new song information has not been revealed yet, it is garnering attention as a ‘project of all time’ that will encompass BLACKPINK’s signature musicality and visual production.Through this comeback and tour that is drawing worldwide attention, BLACKPINK is expected to once again establish their presence as the top K-pop girl group.
