After nearly three years of waiting, BLINKs were braced for BLACKPINK to storm back with a full-length album worthy of the drought. Instead, reports suggest their much-anticipated comeback will be… a mini-album. That’s right—four or five songs after 36 months of silence.
Fans didn’t exactly take the news lying down. “We deserve better” quickly became the rallying cry, with social media feeds filling up with frustration, disappointment, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. For many, a mini-album after such a long hiatus feels like being promised a grand feast and getting handed a snack-sized portion.
Speculation is running wild. Some think YG Entertainment is keeping things small to align with a packed world tour schedule, while others believe it’s just another case of the group being under-promoted despite their global popularity.
Whatever the reason, this isn’t the triumphant, all-out return fans were envisioning. Instead of an explosion, BLACKPINK’s comeback might land more like a polite knock on the door—and for a fandom that’s been starving for content, that’s a tough pill to swallow.
