YG Executive Producer YANG HYUN SUK personally announced the comeback schedules for TREASURE, BABYMONSTER, and BLACKPINK, raising anticipation among

global music fans.

On the 18th, YG Entertainment posted “TREASURE & BABYMONSTER | YG ANNOUNCEMENT” on its official social media. It is a video interview with Executive Producer YANG HYUN SUK sharing album news from YG artists who will dominate the second half of 2025.

TREASURE, celebrating its 5th debut anniversary this year, is set to release its 3rd mini album [LOVE PULSE] on September 1. YANG said, “When TREASURE debuted, the members were in their mid-teens to early twenties, but now they are in their early to mid-twenties, all adults. If the past five years were Act 1, this new album marks the beginning of Act 2,” expressing his expectations for

TREASURE’s greater growth in the global music market.

TREASURE’s new mini album [LOVE PULSE] includes a total of four tracks: “EVERYTHING,” “PARADISE,” “NOW FOREVER,” and “BETTER THAN ME.” The title track is “PARADISE,” a retro

disco funk genre song. YANG explained, “Since this album comes ahead of the global tour, we composed the album with songs that allow interaction with fans,” adding, “The music videos for the

title track ‘PARADISE’ and the later-promoted track ‘EVERYTHING’ will both be released.”

BABYMONSTER will make a comeback on October 10 with a new mini album. The previously released “HOT SAUCE” will not be included; instead, the new album will consist entirely of four new

songs. The title track is “WE GO UP.” It’s a powerful, hip-hop-based song that captures BABYMONSTER’s determination to soar higher. YANG said, “We will release a conceptual music

video along with a choreography video of the same high quality as a music video.”

Track 1 “WE GO UP” is followed by track 2 “PSYCHO,” which was a strong contender for the title track. “SUPA DUPA LUV” is a unique slow song with appealing hip-hop elements, and track 4 “WILD” is a dance track based on the country genre with mass appeal that many will enjoy. YANG commented, “We’ve completed about 80 to 90% of the recordings for BABYMONSTER’s

songs scheduled for next year,” and added, “We will make sure to meet fans frequently without delays.”

In a previous interview, YANG revealed that YG had formed a team of over 50 in-house music producers and built a new music system by regularly holding song camps with international producers. This statement confirms that the revamped YG music system is progressing smoothly.

BLACKPINK’s new album news was also officially confirmed for the first time through YANG HYUN SUK on this day. YANG emphasized, “The members and their producers are all working hard right now,” and added, “We’ll do our best to release the album in November.” Meanwhile, at the end of the video, a surprise dance practice video of TREASURE’s 3rd mini album track “EVERYTHING” was revealed, surprising global fans. This is because it is unprecedented for YG to unveil a new song and choreography two weeks before the album release. The actual dance practice video captured TREASURE’s intense preparations ahead of their comeback, heightening expectations.

YG stated, “This video was not filmed for release but for internal records. The members are wearing their personal clothes, and they are not wearing any makeup. It was filmed using only a mobile phone, without any filming equipment. We hope fans will enjoy it as a special surprise gift.”
