The curiosity about the new song's concept was pushed to the climax after Blackpink unveiled all the individual teaser videos that gave off the members' dark, mysterious vibes.
At 4 pm (KST) September 27, YG Entertainment published the teaser videos of Jennie and Jisoo for Blackpink's full album vol.1 "THE ALBUM" through the official blog.
Appearing with a checked beret, Jennie swiftly captures attention with her fascinating back. Her classy, elegant beauty exudes a strange mystery covering the whole video when she turns to the camera. Besides, her eyes and expressions as if to say something also leave a deep resonance on the viewer.
Meanwhile, Jisoo also appears with an aura bringing out a sense of loneliness. With her messy hair and smoky makeup style, the female idol makes viewers unable to take their eyes off the sorrowful charm as if representing the image of a young girl wandering aimlessly.
On the same day, Blackpink announced the teaser concept videos of all 4 members with Rosé and Lisa's teasers in the morning, and Jennie and Jisoo's in the afternoon, respectively. In particular, the short piece of music that seems to be part of the group's new song sounded at the end of the videos also attracts a great deal of attention from fans.
All the digital audio of the full album "THE ALBUM" well-prepared by Blackpink for a long time after 4 years of the debut will be unveiled on October 4. Besides, in order to venture into the global market, the digital audio of this product will be available at 0:00 (EST) and 1 pm (KST) the same day.
Although the detailed information about the songs has yet to be disclosed, Blackpink has demonstrated their formidable influence in the global music market by successively making a series of hits with 2 pre-release singles "How You Like That" and "Ice Cream", thereby heightening fans' expectations for the act's upcoming album.
"How You Like That" has reaped remarkable feats, including the prize at the "MTV Video Music Awards" (the US) and the "Summer Song 2020" title selected by YouTube. Meanwhile, "Ice Cream" featuring Selena Gomez also landed at No. 13 of the US Billboard Hot 100, which helped Blackpink claim the highest rank in the history of K-pop girl groups on this chart.
In particular, these two songs are even more meaningful when they show Blackpink's contrasting charms. If "How You Like That" brings Blackpink's passionate choreography and girlcrush look from bass hip-hop music, then "Ice Cream" is a fresh, lovely pop song that the 4 girls have tried for the first time.
According to statistics, the full album "THE ALBUM" by Blackpink - the act that continues to expand their musical spectrum and fandom's scale - has logged 800,000 copies after 6 days of the 1st pre-order period. Fans are paying keen attention as it is more likely to become the official album sales in fact and promises to set the "biggest" record for an album of a K-pop girl group.
