A statement from Blackpink's management YG Entertainment reads: "Blackpink's upcoming song is their pre-release title single. Blackpink will then release two new songs between July/August in special formats, as well as their first-ever official album in September."
The Seoul-based group were also the first K-pop group to play Coachella in 2019. The same weekend, they appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden, which drew massive ratings.
They also recently collaborated with Lady Gaga on the song "Sour Candy" from her new "Chromatica" album.
The song released last month entered Billboard's Hot 100 at no. 33 on the 9th, setting the best record in K-Pop girl group history to date.
Another K-pop supergroup, BTS, previously performed on Fallon in February of this year, prompting a generally positive response. The L.A. Times said at the time: "They have the smooth glow of youth and the theatrical patina of a pop group."
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs on NBC Thursdays.
