Everything ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE & JISOO Have Said About BLACKPINK’s Upcoming Reunion

In her Billboard cover story, Lisa told writer Nolan Feeney that she’s basically counting down the days until she gets to work with her bandmates again. “I can’t wait,” she said at the time.

“We know each other so well and know how much energy we have to put into every single project,” she continued. “So we want to support and say, ‘You did really well!’ Like, JENNIE and Rosie just released their own songs, and we’re on texts, we’re on FaceTime. They’re like family. I’m just so happy that they’re releasing something. This is what we all wanted to do, so I just wanted to say that I really do love their songs.”

In a candid conversation with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, ROSÉ said that she felt a lot of “pressure” on making their time apart count. “As BLACKPINK, as mature as we are, we got together and decided, ‘Let’s promise ourselves a good year to be inspired,’” she explained.

“The first thing that happened was anxiety, because I was privileged to have this one year in my hands to do whatever I wanted with it, but I wanted it to be the right decision and it had to feel right …,” she continued. “What if I don’t believe in my thing? And what if I’m in a place where I’m having to do things that I don’t feel like it’s me?”

Noting that she and her bandmates are always in touch via group chat, JENNIE told Billboard deputy editor Lyndsey Havens in her January 2025 cover story that she’s “missed the girls.”

“I’ve missed doing tours with them. I miss our silly moments,” she elaborated. “I’m excited to see what everyone brings. You know, everyone took their own journey [during] this time, and I’m excited to share that with the girls. I want to say it’s going to be the most powerful [versions] of ourselves that anyone has seen.”

Speaking to Billboard to celebrate the release of Amortage, JISOO said that she and her bandmates were in communication about their hopes for their reunion. “Last year, as each member focused on individual activities, we all grew a lot,” she said at the time. “Now, as we come together for this year, I feel like we’ll be able to return with an even bigger and more spectacular presence.”

“Everyone’s excited about it, and we’ve been sharing ideas,” she added. “We’ve already done a lot of preparations for this year.”

In an interview with The Cut, ROSÉ laid out her band’s musical plans plainly: “We will be coming out with new music soon,” she told the publication.

“We just knew there was no reason for us to stop it, right?” the “APT.” singer added. “As much as we all needed some time to go out and explore and be our own people, we still have business left to do. We’ve got to do some more damage.”

When pressed for BLACKPINK tour spoilers during an interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, JENNIE was tight-lipped. “I can’t say anything!” she said before confessing, “There’s still so much to do for us to make this happen.”

“It’s coming — it’s coming, guys,” added the star.

In an interview with Variety, LISA revealed that she and her bandmates had been “in the studio a few days ago,” noting, “We’re all so super excited to get back together and go on tour.”

“We really miss the BLINKs,” added the White Lotus star. “We can’t wait to see them.”
