Blackpink announces comeback with 3rd mini album Deadline in February

Blackpink has officially locked in their comeback. The global K-pop supergroup announced their third mini album, Deadline, confirming a February 27, 2026, release with a stark, high-contrast teaser shared on their official social media platforms.

Scheduled to drop at 1 pm KST (9:30 AM IST), the album marks Blackpink’s first group release announcement since their 2022 album Born Pink, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart,



cementing the group’s position as one of the most commercially dominant acts in global pop.

Notably, the teaser for Deadline offers no music preview, storyline, or track details. The title itself suggests urgency and finality; themes Blackpink have repeatedly included during their most defining eras. More details, including the track list and concept reveals, are expected in the coming weeks as the countdown to the group’s next chapter begins.
