Turns out, it was. Reports dropped on November 6 confirming that the comeback isn’t happening until 2026. Just like that, the spark of excitement fizzled out, replaced by something that’s been building quietly for years: exhaustion
Fans aren’t angry anymore, they’re just tired
The reaction online wasn’t the usual outburst of rage. It was worse resignation. On platforms like Reddit and X, fans joked that they’d “predicted this all along,” because YG Entertainment has a history of delays that now feel almost routine. At this point, it’s not shock, it’s habit
Some BLINKs described the endless waiting as “a test of loyalty.” Others said they’ve stopped believing any date until the teaser drops. The most common emotion wasn’t anger but a kind of weary amusement. When disappointment becomes the norm, humor is the only defense left

Three years of silence and counting
It’s been nearly three years since BLACKPINK’s last group project, and each member has gone their own way: acting, solo music, fashion. Their success outside the group has been huge, which makes the group’s absence feel even more bizarre. Four global stars, one missing album
Every few months, rumors surface. Then come “insider reports,” quickly followed by YG clarifications. The cycle repeats until fans stop caring. That’s the real damage not the delay, but the slow erosion of trust. When anticipation turns into a running joke, something’s broken
YG’s silence says a lot
For a company built on hype, YG’s lack of transparency stands out. No apology, no clear timeline, just another round of vague statements. Fans have started to treat the label’s updates like weather forecasts technically informative, rarely accurate
Some even suspect internal disorganization, saying the label’s pattern of missed deadlines hints at deeper issues. The entertainment world moves fast, and YG’s habit of slow motion might be doing more harm than they realize. In the age of instant drops, three years feels like a century

And yet, despite all the frustration, hope keeps sneaking back. That’s what makes BLACKPINK clearly different. Fans aren’t holding on just because they expect something soon they hold on because they still care. Every member continues to make noise in their own lane, and that energy keeps the group alive, even when the label doesn’t
If this new timeline holds, it could mark BLACKPINK’s longest break since debut. That might sound like bad news, but it also gives room for something big new sound, new vision, maybe even a new chapter. Fans just hope YG realizes that patience isn’t infinite, and loyalty shouldn’t be tested this hard
