Mega K-pop group BLACKPINK recently dropped the first concept teaser for their pre-release single "Pink Venom", which will be a part of "BORN PINK", the upcoming second album.

The quartet, comprising Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa, are seen exuding a glamorous vibe in pale pink outfits paired with black accessories, as the photos capture them with a cracked glass screen that resembles the web of a spider.

The teaser clip also captures individual shots of all four band members. "Pink Venom" is scheduled to be released on August 19 at 1 PM KST/12 AM EST. "BORN PINK" is the band's first official comeback in nearly two years, after the release of "THE ALBUM", the group's first full-length album in October 2020.

Earlier the group's official Twitter account also shared individual concept teasers for each of the four superstars.

The credit poster also gave additional details about the upcoming release, disclosing that the pre-release single is composed and written by longtime BLACKPINK collaborator and producer TEDDY.
