Prior to the reports regarding the revelations of the new girl group of YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK will be debut soon.

It was also previously reported that the new girl group will debut at the end of July, however, changes seem inevitable.

On July 26, a source spoke with news outlet Star News and revealed BLACKPINK's new debut schedule. The group is expected to debut on August 1 or August 8. The source said, "BLACKPINK's debut date is still being discussed. It is likely that it will be either of those dates. However, the date might change depending on circumstances."

The source continued, "We're still discussing the debut date and music show appearances."

YG has revealed that Black Pink will release a total of five new songs until the end of the year. Further, all five songs will get full MVs. YG currently has eight total MVs planned for Black Pink. A YG rep informed Star News previously, "As of now, Black Pink is set to release their debut track at the end of this month. And they will continue to release new songs until the end of December."

The rep explained the reason behind this particular strategy, saying, "The current music scene has the tendency to focus solely on the title track when an album is released. We plan to release multiple songs off Black Pink's debut album because we believe that they are all of the highest quality."

The rep also added, "Teddy, who was in charge of producing Black Pink's debut album, took painstaking care this past two years to create songs that will befit the group. Currently, eight songs are finalized, and because Black Pink will film MVs for all the tracks on their debut album, a total of eight MVs will be filmed. Black Pink has already filmed two MVs, and they are in the process of filming another one. Because people within and outside of Korea are keeping a close eye on Black Pink's debut, we are paying close attention to raising the quality of the songs and MVs."

The group's line-up of members is Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé.
BLACKPINK is consists of Jennie that was born in 1996, Lisa is Thai and 19 years old, Jisoo was born in 1995, and Rosé is from Australia and born in 1997.

A YG representative explained behind the group's name and said that while pink is described as the prettiest color, being pretty isn't everything. Thus the team is beautiful but also talented.
