BLACKPINK fans are buzzing with excitement as the group gears up for their much-anticipated comeback! On June 18th, Jisoo shared a heartfelt message on her personal app, expressing her longing for fans and hinting at the completion of their new music video. As the countdown to their Deadline tour begins, Jisoo is busy preparing for the concert while encouraging her fans to shower her with love upon their reunion.
Adding to the excitement, reports suggest that dancers from Los Angeles have safely arrived in Seoul to join the preparations for the tour. This aligns with speculation that a new full-length album is set to drop in September. The Deadline tour, running from July to September, promises to showcase solo performances from each member, alongside a new pre-release track and fan-favorite songs from their earlier eras.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Jisoo is making waves with her upcoming film role in “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint,” which is slated to premiere in July. This marks her first major lead role, and while she couldn’t attend the production briefing on June 17th, director Kim Bjang Wu praised her dedication during script readings. However, his comments sparked some debate online, with critics questioning if her casting was merely a strategy to leverage her fame. Despite the mixed reactions, Jisoo’s loyal fans are rallying behind her, eager to see her prove her talent once again.
Meanwhile, Lisa has found herself in the spotlight for a different reason. The star faced backlash regarding her reported $40,000 per episode pay for “The White Lotus,” despite limited screen time. However, producer David Bernard clarified that all actors on the show are compensated equally, regardless of their screen presence. Amidst this, Lisa was recently spotted enjoying a meal at the chic Lulu restaurant in Paris, igniting speculation about her dining companion. While some fans speculated it was a romantic dinner with Frederick Arno, it was later confirmed that she was with her friend Valerie Dhan, a dancer from Crazy Horse Paris.
On another note, Jennie is making headlines with her impressive solo ventures. Recently, she made a surprise appearance on the popular dance survival show “Street Woman Fighter World Edition,” stepping in as a judge. Her presence not only energized the competitors but also brought a global star power boost to the show. Additionally, Jennie is set to face the infamous spicy wing challenge on “Hot Ones” on June 19th, a move that has fans both excited and amused, considering her well-known struggle with spicy food.
In a significant personal victory, Jennie has successfully concluded a six-month legal battle against claims made by PD and writer Kim Hyung Jin, who alleged he was her biological father. The court dismissed these claims due to a lack of evidence, affirming Jennie’s truth and privacy. This ruling, announced on June 18th, has brought relief to both Jennie and her fans, who have stood by her throughout the ordeal.
As the Blackpink members continue to navigate their careers and personal lives, fans are left wondering what surprises lie ahead for the beloved group. What will be the next chapter in their incredible journey?
