BLACKPINK's Unreleased Track 'JUMP' Debuts to Mixed Reactions at Goyang Concert

BLACKPINK unveiled their unreleased track 'JUMP' during their concert, sparking mixed reactions from fans.

On October 6, BLACKPINK held their 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR 'DEADLINE' IN GOYANG' at the Goyang Sports Complex in Goyang, South Korea, marking their first full-group performance of a new song in 2 years and 8 months.

The track, reminiscent of early 2000s to 2010s club music, features a whistling effect and brass sounds akin to those in old Western films. Despite the revival of this genre, the song's composition failed to highlight the members' strengths, leaving fans disappointed.

The song's fast tempo and overpowering kick drum overshadowed the members' vocals, focusing too much on creating an energetic vibe at the expense of showcasing individual talents.

While some fans enjoyed the upbeat nature of the song, many expressed their disappointment. One fan shared their thoughts on the online platform 'Threads', calling it the only downside of the concert's repertoire. They questioned the decision to release this song given the current circumstances, expressing their discontent as a BLINK (the fandom name). Other online comments included criticisms such as "It's been years since their comeback, and this is disappointing," "I hope this isn't the title track," "Their solo songs are much better," and "The choreography is laughable. After such a long wait, this is what we get?"

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK has embarked on their 'DEADLINE' world tour, just 10 months after their 'BORN PINK' tour, which attracted 1.8 million attendees. The tour will include 31 performances in stadiums across Los Angeles, Toronto, Paris, Milan, London, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and more.
