Welcome to the KPOPWRLD universe. Formerly known as A-List: K-Pop, this is your go-to destination for all things K-pop—new, improved and better than ever. And if one group epitomised that mantra in 2025, it was BLACKPINK. In the years since their last collective album, BORN PINK, JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ and LISA have each flourished as solo artists, cultivating new fanbases with music that reflected their individual journeys. In July, the group opened a new chapter, reuniting for a world tour and releasing “JUMP”, a statement record driven by an intense hardstyle sound. Bringing together long-time BLINKs and newer fans they drew as soloists, BLACKPINK’s return marked a new era in K-pop at large. Listen to BLACKPINK alongside all of the rest of the artists who made this year exciting on KPOPWRLD, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
