What they’re saying

“I have a movie shoot, so I can't be there.”

— Lisa

“Obviously, all of us were not afraid, but we didn't know what to expect going back into the group and being on tour after three years. Nothing has really changed [in terms of the dynamic], but also, we've all released solo albums, too. So being able to bring different music into our sets and watching each other's performances from a new perspective was a new thing for us, which made it more fun.”

— Jennie

“Overall, being back onstage with all of us together felt very much like home. When you don't go home for a year because of work or whatever, and you go back, and it still feels like home...it's that kind of feeling where you don't need to expect anything. Your body knows that you're home.”

— Jennie

What’s next

The 2027 Grammy ceremony could be a different story for Blackpink, as the group is set to release their highly anticipated mini-album Deadline on February 27, 2026, which will fall within the eligibility period for next year's awards.

The takeaway

Blackpink's varied activities and individual commitments, despite their group success, highlight the challenges K-pop artists face in balancing their group and solo endeavors. However, the group's continued influence and the potential for future Grammy recognition showcase the growing global impact of K-pop.
