Group blackpink (blackpink) started full-scale promotions on October 2 ahead of the release of its first Music album in four years.
YG Entertainment, a subsidiary company, unveiled its Cumming Soon Poster (COMING SOON Poster) by blackpink through its official blog at 10 am on the 21st.
It contains the back of blackpink members in a somewhat dark space. Styling is intense. Other information was still veiled, but the overall atmosphere of blackpink's unique charisma is unusual.
The soundtrack release schedule (October 2nd 2020, 12am EST & 1pm KST) engraved on Poster also caught the eye. October 2, 2020, United States of America East Time 0:00. Korean time is 1:00 pm on the same day.
blackpink showed a good 'hot day' as predicted. The pre-release single released this year swept the global music market and raised expectations for the first Music album.
After starting a comeback with Lady Gaga's collaboration song 'Sour Candy' in May, she continued her spectacular career with her first Music album title 'How You Like That' in June and 'Ice Cream' with Selena Gomez in August.
Among them, 'How You Like That' has made a remarkable achievement, including the United States of America MTV Video Music Awards, and YouTube's "All Summer Best Song". In addition, the new song 'Ice Cream' ranked 13th on the 'Hot 100' chart released by United States of America Billboard on the 9th (local time), and it has renewed its highest ranking of K-pop girl group ever. In addition, the YouTube Music Global Top 100 charts achieved the top spot with overwhelming figures, making it global popular.
blackpink's first Music album pre-order volume was counted as more than 800,000 copies in six days of reservation sales. Considering the schedule for the release of Music album, which was about a month away at the time, this figure is expected to increase further.
blackpink's first Music album 'THE ALBUM' will be released on October 2, and physical music will be available at on-line and off-line music stores nationwide on October 6. On October 14, the Netflix original documentary blackpink: Light Up the Sky will also be screened.
