Since their debut in 2016, BLACKPINK has grown from a rookie K-pop group into a worldwide cultural phenomenon. In 2025, the four members—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—continue to dominate music charts, headline global tours, and set new fashion standards. For BLINKs in Europe, the past few months have been filled with exciting news and major updates about the group’s activities. Here’s a look at the latest highlights surrounding BLACKPINK in 2025.
A Powerful Comeback with “Jump”
On July 11, 2025, BLACKPINK released their long-awaited single “Jump.” Fans first heard the track during the opening concert of their Deadline World Tour, and the response was overwhelming. The song marks their first group release in more than two years, instantly climbing streaming charts and energizing the fandom worldwide.
YG Entertainment confirmed that the group is working on a new full album, expected to be released by November 2025. BLINKs are already buzzing with speculation about the concept, visuals, and potential collaborations. This comeback is one of the most anticipated moments in K-pop this year, and EU fans are preparing for exclusive pop-up events and merchandise drops once the album goes live.
The Deadline World Tour 2025–2026
Another highlight for BLACKPINK fans is the ongoing Deadline World Tour, which kicked off in Goyang, South Korea, in July 2025. After performing in major North American arenas, the group traveled to Europe with shows in Paris, Milan, Barcelona, and London. Each concert was met with sold-out crowds, proving their unstoppable popularity.
The tour will continue through Asia and other regions well into 2026. For European BLINKs, the performances were not just concerts—they were once-in-a-lifetime experiences with breathtaking visuals, live band arrangements, and exclusive stages. The success of the Born Pink tour in 2023 already set a high standard, and Deadline is now building on that legacy with even bigger production and stronger performances.
Individual Achievements: Solo Power
While group activities are in full swing, each BLACKPINK member is also shining individually.
- Rosé made history at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, winning Song of the Year for her collaboration “APT” with Bruno Mars. This achievement marks the first time a K-pop artist has received this award.
- Lisa secured the Best K-pop award at the same event for her solo track “Born Again,” further proving her global star power. Beyond music, Lisa also appeared at the 2025 Emmys in a stunning pink gown and continues to grow her acting career with a role in The White Lotus.
- Jennie has been busy expanding her label and fashion ventures, reinforcing her reputation as both an artist and entrepreneur.
- Jisoo continues to balance her music career with acting, with upcoming projects that keep fans eager for more.
These solo accomplishments strengthen BLACKPINK’s global influence, ensuring that each member shines while still supporting the group’s collective success.
Fashion and Global Impact
BLACKPINK’s influence stretches far beyond music. Each member remains a global ambassador for luxury brands—Jennie with Chanel, Rosé with Saint Laurent, Jisoo with Dior, and Lisa with Celine and Bulgari. Their appearances at high-profile fashion events, particularly Paris Fashion Week, keep them in the spotlight of European media and fans alike.
In 2025, Rosé drew attention at the VMAs after-party with a striking Dilara Findikoğlu dress, while Lisa’s red-carpet look at the Emmys dominated global headlines. These moments demonstrate how BLACKPINK continues to set trends and shape global fashion culture.
What’s Next for BLACKPINK?
Looking ahead, the group’s November 2025 album release is the biggest milestone on the horizon. With recording already underway, BLINKs are counting down to teasers and concept photos. Alongside the comeback, additional tour dates are expected to be announced, potentially adding more European cities to the Deadline schedule.
Fans can also anticipate more BLACKPINK merchandise launches, pop-up stores, and interactive events across Europe, timed to celebrate the new album. With their renewed contracts for group activities, the four members have made it clear that BLACKPINK will continue to thrive as a unit while also excelling individually.
Final Thoughts
The year 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most important chapters in BLACKPINK’s history. From the release of “Jump” and the upcoming album to record-breaking solo achievements and a world tour that spans continents, the group proves once again why they are the biggest girl group in the world.
