At the height of newly found success in North America, all-female K-Pop group Blackpink has just announced a brand new EP entitled Kill this Love (2019).
Sunday’s announcement was paired with the release of a brand new single of the same name. Kill this Love will be Blackpink’s second Korean-language EP and third EP overall. The group’s first EP was in Japanese.
Kill this Love will be released under the YG label on April 5. A brand new video is expected to drop along with the release of the highly anticipated “mini-album.”
The official statement confirmed “four world-class choreographers,” and a “more dynamic” choreographic routine than ever seen before by Blackpink.

In the wake of the announcement, #KillThisLove and #Blackpink quickly became trending Twitter topics.
Although already an established K-Pop group in Asia, Blackpink is considered up-and-comers in the Western world. The girls began their careers more than two years ago thanks to South Korea’s YG Entertainment company.
The critically acclaimed Blackpink in Your Area, dropped on Feb. 5 with nine original tracks. It instantly hit the top album charts in Japan.
Blackpink’s worldwide smash-hit Ddu-du Ddu-du dropped last June and as of this writing has earned more than 724-million views on YouTube alone.
The group’s YouTube channel now sits at over 20-million subscribers.
