K-Pop Queens : BLACKPINK, aespa, and IVE

Especially, I like Jisoo from BLACKPINK, Winter from aespa, and Ahn Yujin from IVE.
Friends, I hope you fall in love with them.

As of July 2025, the K-Pop landscape is buzzing with fresh releases and exciting global activities from some of its reigning girl groups: BLACKPINK, aespa, and IVE. From long-awaited comebacks to new music and international performances, here's the latest on what these powerhouse groups have been up to.

BLACKPINK Makes a Grand Return with "뛰어 (JUMP)"
After a significant hiatus, BLACKPINK has made a triumphant return to the music scene with their new single, "뛰어 (JUMP)". The song was first unveiled to fans during their 'Deadline' world tour concert in Gocheok, creating a massive buzz online. The official music video and track were released on July 11, 2025, marking their first full group release in a considerable time. The group is currently in the midst of their world tour, continuing to captivate global audiences with their powerful performances.

aespa Explores a New Sound with "Dirty Work"
aespa continues to showcase their versatility with the release of their latest single album, "Dirty Work," on June 27, 2025. The title track, a hip-hop dance number, sees the group venturing into a new sonic territory, complete with a visually striking music video filmed in a steel plant. The physical album was released in various versions, much to the delight of their dedicated fanbase. The group also recently made a notable international appearance, performing at the prestigious Mawazine Festival in Morocco, further solidifying their global presence.

IVE Continues Global Engagements
I.V. became the first K-pop girl group to take the stage at Lollapalooza Berlin and wowed local fans.

On July 12, I.V. performed a 55-minute solo set at Lollapalooza Berlin, a global music festival held in Berlin, Germany. Despite the rainy weather, a large number of fans gathered to cheer for IVE, and the members performed a number of their hits, including “REBEL HEART,” “Baddie,” and “LOVE DIVE,” to the accompaniment of a live band. Especially during “After LIKE,” fans sang along in Korean, which was very moving for the members.

The members commented, “It was a happy and overwhelming time thanks to the audience's strong support.”

They are also scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Paris on the 20th in Paris, France.

We look forward to your participation in the Korean Hive Village contest.
