A big collaboration between BLACKPINK and pop star Selena Gomez has been surprisingly realized.

On the 12th, YG Entertainment posted a poster for BLACKPINK's "New Single Release" on their official blog.

The released poster prominently features the names of BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez.

The song will be released simultaneously worldwide on August 28th.

This will be 0:00 AM on the same day Eastern Time in the US, and 1:00 PM Korean time.

Selena Gomez is a singer and actress who was discovered by the American Disney Channel as a teen idol and has grown into a global top star.

With approximately 186 million followers on Instagram alone, she shares many commonalities with BLACKPINK as an icon who leads trends not only in entertainment but also in fashion and beauty.

A YG representative stated, "What these two artists, who have been long-time fans of each other and shared musical understanding, have dreamed of has finally come true. BLACKPINK is expressing their gratitude to Selena Gomez and is very happy to be able to deliver this song to their fans soon."

Meanwhile, collaborations between BLACKPINK and famous pop stars are no longer an unfamiliar sight.

In May of this year, BLACKPINK achieved the highest ranking for a K-pop girl group on the US Billboard main chart, "Hot 100," with their collaboration song "Sour Candy" with Lady Gaga.

In 2018, they were featured on Dua Lipa's "Kiss and Make Up," ranking 36th on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 100.

With the meeting of two female artists representing the East and West, the global pop market is expected to be shaken once again.
