"We were expecting a comeback teaser"—Fans react as BLACKPINK 2025 tour briefly vanishes from YG website, returns soon

On April 7, 2025, fans of BLACKPINK were surprised when the group’s 2025 world tour section disappeared from YG Entertainment’s official website. The page showed a “File not found” message for a short time. An X user @yk2aii also shared screenshots of the same.

As speculations spread online, YG suddenly updated the website again. It returned with ticket sale announcements for BLACKPINK’s Goyang concerts. There was also a special moments video from the group’s last tour that was released alongside. It featured memories and clips from past shows.

Some believed the site might be updated to announce a long-awaited group comeback. Others thought it was a sign that the entire tour might be canceled.

"Probably means that official title (with the comeback title) will be announced," an X user wrote.

"YG is clearly setting up all of the social medias and websites to prepare for these next announcements for the CB and TOUR!! they’ve been changing blackpinks instagram it just had “musician/band” and now it’s gone and then they removed the shut down link," a fan remarked.

"The official website of blackpink tour is now under maintenance, they'd remove the previous poster because it will change up to the official name of the tour and added more dates/places. So, blinks, ARE YOU READY?," a netizen added.

"Blackpink tour getting wiped off the website what about the tickets I purchased-," a fan mentioned.

The group hasn’t released a complete group project in a while. Therefore, many expected a teaser or album news instead of silence.

"I expect some info later on about the whole thing, but honestly idc about a world tour, all i want is a well put together comeback," an X user wrote.

"It’s so ridiculous to announce a tour BEFORE the comeback announcement or anything else," a fan commented.

"Manifesting new album cause wtaf is a tour before new album wat they gon do dance to du ddu du ddu? les be so fr," a netizen added.
