BLACKPINK is taking one small step for BLINKs before taking one giant leap for BLINK-kind with the release of its “Go” music video, a teaser for which dropped Monday (Feb. 23).

In the snippet of the upcoming visual — which will drop Friday (Feb. 27), the same day the girl group’s DEADLINE mini-album arrives — climactic orchestral music plays over intense shots of waves crashing over galaxies melting into one another, and men rowing through outer space. ROSÉ, JISOO, JENNIE and LISA appear on their own and with each other in various sci-fi setups, at one point posing together in black outfits while holding oars that cross in a stark geometric shape.

“Go” will serve as the second single from DEADLINE, following last year’s “Jump,” which reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Global 200. The quartet has steadily been getting fans ready for the project, unveiling its tracklist earlier in February after premiering concept photos at the end of January. In many ways, the new music video teaser aligns with the aesthetic of those teaser images, which YG Entertainment described at the time as “sensual” and “irresistible.”

BLACKPINK last dropped a collection of songs in 2022, with album Born Pink hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200 that year. Afterward, the members took a break from band activities to pursue solo activities, with each of them releasing music of their own while LISA, JENNIE and JISOO also explored acting opportunities in White Lotus, The Idol and Boyfriend on Demand, respectively.

This article was created in partnership with VENU.

The fan-founded, fan-owned, and artist-inspired live entertainment company has announced that global, multi-platinum recording artist Niall Horan has joined as a shareholder and strategic partner. He will serve as a founding member of the company’s advisory council alongside fellow artist and shareholder Dierks Bentley. 

For Horan, whose career began on the world’s biggest stages with One Direction before evolving into a celebrated solo catalog of global hits, the move represents a natural extension of his artistic philosophy. Over the past decade, he has cultivated a reputation for authenticity; an artist attuned not only to the spectacle of performance, but to the intimacy that sustains it. That perspective has also informed his entrepreneurial ventures, including co-founding his sports agency Modest! Golf Management in 2015, investing in TGL’s Boston Common Golf and Whoop via his investments company, Greenbridge Ventures, and mentoring emerging talent as a coach on The Voice USA, where his team’s artist was crowned the Season 28 winner. Across disciplines, Horan’s throughline remains consistent: build platforms that empower creators and elevate audiences.

“Music’s always been about connection. It brings people together no matter who they are or where they’re from. Joining VENU as a shareholder and advisory council member is a chance to help strengthen that bond, push the boundaries, and create something amazing for both artists and fans” says Horan. 

Bentley brings a similar artist-first lens. With more than two decades of arena tours and chart-topping success, he has experienced firsthand how venue design, sound, and atmosphere shape the emotional arc of a show. His decision to invest in VENU reflects a belief that infrastructure should serve artistry, not the other way around. Together, Horan and Bentley signal a broader shift: artists claiming a seat at the table where live music’s future is being designed.

“Dierks represents everything we’re building toward: authenticity, excellence and an unwavering commitment to the fan experience,” said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Venu Holding Corporation. 

Venu Holding Corporation (“VENU”), which went public in 2024 and now trades on the NYSE American, has been building a different kind of live entertainment company. The company approaches growth with an uncommon strategy: putting artists closer to the blueprint. With developments underway in Oklahoma and Texas and operating entertainment campuses in Colorado and Georgia, the company’s footprint is exploding, but its more notable move is structural. The disruptive company is building an advisory body designed to give artists and leaders influence over programming, architecture, and the standards that shape fan and performer experience.

The initiative signals a shift in how venues may be built in the years ahead, not simply as spaces for sound and production, but as environments shaped by artists and built for true ambiance.

At its core, the model is simple: put artists in positions of influence and let lived experience guide innovation. In Horan and Bentley, VENU has aligned itself with two performers who understand the electricity of a crowd, the vulnerability of the stage, and the responsibility of building spaces worthy of both. If the next era of live entertainment is to be defined by deeper connection and elevated experience, it will be because artists helped design it.
