BLACKPINK served up a sweet treat for BLINKs on Friday (July 4) when the K-pop group released a teaser that appeared to suggest new music on its social media accounts.

A Complete List of BLACKPINK’s Solo Projects (So Far)
05/13/2025
The clip itself is a simple one, featuring what resemble metallic pink racing marks speeding over a black screen as the music — thumping and club-ready — crescendos before it suddenly stops and a woman’s voice instructs “Jump” as the same word appears in dusty rose.
The post is captioned with a single question: “Ready to Jump?” No additional details were given.
Fans on the various social media platforms where the 17-second clip was shared were quick to express their excitement over what would be BLACKPINK’s first new music as a group since sophomore release Born Pink, which arrived in 2022 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Even Diplo jumped into the comments section on one of the Instagram posts, responding, “SO READY.”
YG Entertainment — the agency behind BLACKPINK — confirmed to Forbes in June that the quartet would debut a new song during the kickoff show of its upcoming global trek titled DEADLINE WORLD TOUR; the first two shows are set for July 5 and 6 at Goyang Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
Fans first started suspecting that new music may be on the way when BLACKPINK launched a map of Seoul on its website on July 1. Several popular areas on the map were singled out, but two pins also hinted that something more was happening. The two pins read, “DO NOT JUMP,” kicking off the speculation that new music arriving would be called “Jump.”
BLACKPINK’s reunion comes after the quartet — comprised of ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE and JISOO — took some time apart to focus on their own solo projects, from music to acting opportunities and more. Shortly after the teaser’s arrival Friday, ROSÉ acknowledged the superstar group’s return on Instagram. In a Story, she shared a video of clips featuring BLACKPINK performances. Above the visual, she wrote, “blinks, we’re coming back tomorrow.”
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s romance was a “Teenage Dream,” until that dream ended in 2025.
The “Woman’s World” singer and the Pirates of the Caribbean star first sparked dating rumors back in January 2016, when they were seen dancing together at a Golden Globes afterparty. The two were then spotted on a number of vacations and out on dates together, before the pop singer made their relationship Instagram official in May 2016. In early 2017, the pair briefly split before reconnecting by the end of the year. They were inseparable, ultimately getting engaged in 2019 and welcoming their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020.
Throughout it all, the pair always had fun together. Among their adventures were when the duo went paddleboarding while on a 2016 vacation in Italy, where the actor enjoyed the activity in the nude, with the photos going viral; and when the two jumped out of a helicopter into the ocean while on another getaway in 2024, as seen in a clip posted to Perry’s Instagram feed with lyrics from her song “Lifetimes” in the caption. “Like the stars are in the sky/ You and I will find each other / In every single life,” she wrote.
Bloom was previously married to Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares 13-year-old son Flynn. The duo split in 2013. Perry, meanwhile, was married to actor Russell Brand until 2012.
Things seemed to be going smoothly, with the pair often joking in comments in each other’s social media posts. But reports of troubles in their romance began to surface in 2025, with multiple outlets confirming the end of their relationship in June 2025.
From flirting at an afterparty to engagement and welcoming a daughter together, read on for a full timeline of Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship.
One week after multiple outlets reported that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom had ended their relationship after nine years together, reps for the pair confirmed the split in a statement.

A Timeline of Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom’s Relationship
07/04/2025
“Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting,” they said in a statement to Billboard. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter [Daisy Dove] with love, stability and mutual respect.”
After weeks of rumors about trouble in their romance, People, TMZ and Us Weekly all independently confirmed in late June that the pair had ended their engagement and gone their separate ways. The two first began dating in 2016 and split briefly in early 2017, but were spotted getting cozy just months later. The Grammy nominee then teased in an Instagram post in February 2018 that she and the Pirates of the Caribbean star had gotten engaged on Valentine’s Day, with the photo focused on a flower-shaped ruby and diamond ring on her finger and the actor snuggling into her. She confirmed the engagement later that month during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, revealing that Bloom had proposed to her during a romantic helicopter ride.
The two welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020, with the happy news revealed via an announcement from Unicef, for who Bloom and Perry were Goodwill Ambassadors. The pair never married.

This week, Zach Bryan delivers more fan treats, Kesha begins her Independence period, and A$AP Rocky comes back in fashion. Check out all of this week’s picks below:
Zach Bryan, Streets of London
After debuting “Streets of London” during his BST Hyde Park concert last month, Zach Bryan has offered fans a studio version of the track, as well as a pair of additional songs, “River Washed Hair” and “A Song for You”; he noted in an Instagram post that the tracks “didn’t belong on the record, and they didn’t fit on an EP either,” but the prolific superstar’s ability to constantly supply his fan base with rock-solid songwriting is one of the reasons why Bryan has ascended to stadium status.
Kesha, Period
For longtime fans of Kesha, Period contains the type of club-friendly bangers that made her a pop supernova 15 years ago — but every song on her first release as an independent artist carries an undercurrent of growth and personal fulfillment, as if the party that comprises the fast-moving 11-song project is even more thrilling because of the effort it took to coordinate.
A$AP Rocky feat. Kaycyy, “Pray4DaGang”
Released on Independence Day as a 24-hour exclusive on Apple Music after being unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, “Pray4DaGang,” A$AP Rocky’s new collaboration with Kaycyy, impressively re-centers the veteran rapper’s musical approach during a busy moment for his brand: his flow is nimble and his lyricism sharp, once again building hype for his long-awaited next full-length.
Brent Faiyaz, “Peter Pan.” / “Tony Soprano.”
The duality of Brent Faiyaz’s appeal is on display with the double single release of “Peter Pan.” and “Tony Soprano.”: whereas the former puts a modern twist on buttery soul music and places Faiyaz’s croon up high in the mix, the latter is cold, laser-focused rhythmic rap, with Faiyaz declaring over a trap beat, “These days, I’m numb to it all” and demonstrating his range.
Of Monsters and Men, “Television Love”
Of Monsters and Men conquered different parts of the globe with their heartfelt sing-alongs a decade ago, and on their first new track in five years, the Icelandic indie-folk band returns with a viscous, slow-building amendment of their winning formula: “Television Love” may take longer to get going than “Little Talks” and “Mountain Sound,” but when it hits its stride, the song becomes another enveloping festival anthem.
Editor’s Pick: Sydney Rose, “Before & After You”
Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sydney Rose scored a viral hit recently with her track “We Hug Now,” and may have another one with “Before & After You,” which was inspired by the hit HBO video game adaptation The Last of Us — but even if the names Joel and Ellie don’t mean anything to you, it’s not hard to get wrapped up in Rose’s elegant vocals and knack for conjuring simple, emotionally resonant lyrics in confined spaces.

With all eyes set on Thailand, thanks to the recent success of the hit HBO series White Lotus, W Hotel has created a one-of-a-kind retreat, turning their gorgeous Koh Samui location into a vibrant culture hub for music lovers.
Dubbed W Presents, the innovative live music showcase features an all-inclusive experience that includes exclusive performances from participating DJs and artists from around the globe, local excursions such as elephant sanctuary visits, a Muay Thai boxing session, and even a White Lotus-style island-hopping boat cruise with a sunset party.

The inaugural Koh Samui retreat took place between May 1 to 5 with a jam-packed lineup of live performances from renowned DJ and W Hotels‘ Global Music Director LP Giobbi, plus Bonobo, Sofia Kourtesis, Beatrice, Emjie, JOPLYN, Mascolo, as well as local artists like Kate Sara, Dan Buri, and W Koh Samui Music Curator, Armando Mendes. From poolside DJ sets during the sunset, to intimate villa dinner partiers, to luxe boat cruise dancing, each performance was spread throughout multiple nights and set at different locations to make each set feel unique.
“Music has always been part of W Hotels’ DNA, and W Presents has become a powerful global platform for a culturally relevant sonic expression,” says W Hotels senior VP and global brand leader George Fleck. “With our first-ever W Presents Retreat, we are deepening that connection to be an even more immersive experience in the world’s most exotic destinations, bringing guests closer to the artists they love and the places they love to discover. Launching at our iconic W Koh Samui makes it even more special given the island’s vibrant music scene, natural beauty and stunning local culture.”

“We don’t just see music as background noise, as in many hotels, but rather a part of creating experiences, both for our guests, but also for creating a platform for artists who want to share their art and write their music with guests around the world. And so it was kind of a natural evolution for us as we think about music programming, that we would create a global music tour where we can bring interesting artists to destinations that also really resonate with those travelers.”
What sets W Presents apart from concerts or music festivals is the more intimate setting. At the W Hotel, there aren’t thousands of fans packing into a venue or security separating the artists from fans, but the exact opposite. The retreat encourages attendees and musicians to mix and mingle together in a casual setting to help build connections and a sense of community. With only a few hundred guests on site, the experience felt more like a VIP exclusive getaway for creatives, artists and music lovers alike.

“The privacy of these hotels, in a really cool setting, you have more access to them. You can learn more about how they create music, and you can feel more a richer, more personalized experience that hopefully will live with you for a long time and create those memories that stay with you. That’s really important to us, that we don’t just come across as a hotel that plays music.”
Besides enjoying live music, guests are immersed into local cuisine, art, nature, and hospitality. Many excursions were planned to fully embrace and experience the Koh Samui island with options to explore lively night markets, use arts and craft stations, learn Muay Thai boxing, or slow things down with beach-front yoga and sound baths. What you see in the White Lotus may look luxurious, but actually laying out by the ocean with fresh coconut water and mango sticky rice in hand is the perfect vacation treat.

The W Presents Retreat at W Koh Samui ranges from $3,836 (132,000 Baht) for a one-bedroom villa with a private pool and garden view to $6,746 (232,000 Baht) for an oceanfront villa. Bookings include breakfast, lunch and dinner for two guests daily, a welcome dinner and access to wellness programs (such as sound baths and yoga and mindfulness classes mentioned above).
Can’t make it to Thailand? W Hotel is expanding its W PRESENTS series with a global tour this summer hitting Shanghai, Budapest, Seattle, Prague, and Abu Dhabi. W PRESENTS will also have a stage at other W Hotel properties this year, including W New York (Union Square), W Hoboken, W Hollywood, W Punta Cana, W Bali (Seminyak), W Singapore (Sentosa Cove), W Fort Lauderdale, W Dubai (Mina Seyahi), and W São Paulo, with event dates soon to be announced.
“W Presents is a powerful platform for W Hotels – a brand that’s always been anchored in sound, scene, and self-expression,” shares George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, W Hotels in a press release. “As music-led travel continues to surge, W Hotels remains a cultural connector, setting the stage for discovery and unforgettable experiences that blur the line between performance and place. Through groundbreaking live sets and immersive experiences, we’re redefining how music and hospitality come together to create those moments that you just had to be there for.
