Blackpink's fans worldwide, known as Blinks, were riveted after an image that mimicked a teaser poster for the K-pop groups' new song was seen floating around on social media platforms and Twitter on November 9.
The image had the logo of YG Entertainment, the talent agency that manages BLACKPINK, engraved on it along with the date and time of release.
According to the teaser image, made in a poster format, the new song title was "Ready For Love". Incidentally, it is a song that was released partially via "BLACKPINK: Light Up The Sky", a Netflix documentary.
The documentary revealed the recording of some of the unreleased songs by the group, including "Ready For Love". Consequently, with the poster image floating around many fans were taken to believe that it was this song that was going to be released as the new track on November 26.
The tweet post of the teaser image received 120,000 likes in less than one day and received 2,000 retweets because fans were overjoyed thinking BLACKPINK was making a comeback.
However, simultaneously, many Blinks questioned the release date of the song as the K-pop girls' group usually releases their songs on Fridays KST, but the release date and time mentioned on the poster went in accordance with the North American time zone.
Now, YG Entertainment has commented on the whole matter and the ensuing confusion and confirmed that the teaser image is not an official one.
The agency stated that the girls' group is making preparations for a new project, but at this point, nothing is confirmed. Furthermore, the teaser poster trending on the web is not an official YG Entertainment poster. Therefore, the talent company hopes that there is no further confusion about the matter among fans.
The news however has broken the hearts of Blinks that were anticipating a release by BLACKPINK for a long time. The group's last album "The Album", which was also their first Korean studio album, was released last year in October. Earlier this year in August, the quartet released a Japanese version of "The Album".
Meanwhile, the girls have also been focussing on individual musical journeys and recently Lisa, the maknae of the group, has been on a chart-busting and record-breaking spree with her solo album "LALISA". Each of the members is also the global ambassador for different luxury fashion brands respectively.
