Blinks don't trust YG enough to believe rumors of TWO Blackpink comebacks in 2022

Fans have their hopes up after rumors from YG Investors suggest that Blackpink will have not one but two comebacks this year

YG Entertainment’s leading girl group Blackpink’s fans have had it with the rumors. They have taken charge of the situation and are calling out bluffs over the various claims that float over the internet. Blackpink members have been on a hiatus since October 2020 and, since then, Blinks have expressed their rage about the lack of group activities for the four-member power group from YGE. They have even gone so far as to cancel Blackpink’s merch that the label released in order to pacify fans who demanded a comeback for the girl group.

After Blackpink’s discography was scrutinized online, fans also learned that the girl group only had 21 songs in total despite making their debut in 2016, adding to the Blinks' fury over the lack of new comebacks. With Jennie confirming a new comeback for Blackpink on the variety program ‘The Game Caterers 2’, fans are now questioning claims that the group would have two comebacks in 2022.

Blackpink may have two comebacks in 2022

Although it was initially rumored that Blackpink would release their new album in May 2022, fans were skeptical. However, after Queen Jennie’s confirmation, Blinks started rejoicing about the new album that the power girl group will drop. Soon after, fans started circulating a Korean news report about YG Entertainment’s investors suggesting that the four-member girl group would have not one but two comebacks this year. One fan said, “According to YG investors, #BLACKPINK may have two comebacks this year. the second comeback would be after the middle of the year and would be followed by a world tour”

Fan reactions weren't entirely favorable as they adamantly stated that such rumors have been doing the rounds for ages and that Blinks will only believe it if it comes from official sources. They claimed that, back in 2016, it was rumored Blackpink would have eight music videos for one album, which was in fact untrue. A fan said, “Same company that said blackpink would have 8mvs in 2016 or that an album would *soon* follow after as if it's your last, yeah I totally believe them.”

‘Don’t get your hopes high’

While the susceptible believed the rumor, other fierce fans made fun of the reports. One fan joked, “What does two comebacks mean?like two mvs?” and another responded, “Yeah, for example like hylt and ice cream.” Another fan said, “I'm not believing anything, even a teaser. I will only believe it when I see the mv come out.” One more fan said, “YG lie like this all the time don’t get ur hopes high yall.”

One fan said, “Two comebacks this year. another lie.” Another joked, “Are those "two comebacks this year" here in the room with us?” A third fan said, “Why y’all believing them, I could say BP 4 comeback a year + 1 Japanese album and 2 solos and yall wouldn’t believe me so why believing them, them and I literally know the same thing about YG’s schedule: nothing. They’re not YG employees or artists so WHY.” One fan joked, “This made laugh,” while another said, “No one's believing this until we actually get it lmao we've been here before a lot of times already.”
