YG girl group BLACKPINK debut is finally confirmed to happen on Aug. 8 and is expected to drop the music video and album on the said date.
YG Entertainment dropped a teaser image showing the fingers of the members in a rock sign with background of roses. The exact debut date will be on Aug. 8 at 8PM. The date was initially announced as the probable debut date for the girl group.
According to All KPop, Red Velvet will make a comeback this summer. S.M. Entertainment said in a statement, "Comeback preparations are in progress. Red Velvet is working on a new album, and once the comeback date is confirmed, we will make an announcement."
Red Velvet debuted on Aug.1, 2014 and this year will mark the group's second year anniversary.
Meanwhile, YG Entertainment confirmed that BLACKPINK debut is at the end of the month. The debut song will be revealed later this month. However, International Business Times reported that the group has filmed two MVs for their album and they will film six more. This hinted that the group will debut with a full album and not a mini album. The group is probably aiming for "Rookie of the Year" award at Mnet Asia Music Award 2016.
Teddy will be the main producer of the new girl group. It was thought that G-Dragon will be the producer of the girls, but it seems that Teddy has more songs fit for a girl group. Teddy has been in charge of 2NE1's albums. Thus, we can expect songs similar to 2NE1.
YG Entertainment has officially revealed the members of BLACKPINK - Jennie Kim, Lalisa Manoban, Kim Jisoo, and Park Chaeyoung. Yibada previously reported that the new YG girl group will have four members like its sunbae group 2NE1.
