Back with a bite, K-pop superstars Blackpink have released their first song in over a year, Pink Venom.
“It was our sixth anniversary recently, time flies,” Jisoo said at a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, where the group talked about the new single and the upcoming Born Pink. “[Our fans] Blinks have waited for our music and waited for us, so I hope we can enjoy and have fun together for a long time.”
A blend of hip hop, electronic music, and traditional Korean instrumentals, Pink Venom is an attempt to “raise expectations for the upcoming album’s release and all the good songs there”, Lisa said.
“I can’t give away everything, but we want to play up our strengths and show us as we are while trying new things [on the album]. Listen to Pink Venom and you’ll get a clearer picture of our second album.
