By Cara Emmeline Garcia

It may not be a full comeback yet, but BLINKS are rejoicing because K-pop girl group BLACKPINK is joining the roster of artists in Lady Gaga's sixth album “Chromatica.”

In the 16-track album, the South Korean girl group will be collaborating with the American singer in the track “Sour Candy.” International acts like Elton John and Ariana Grande are also featured in the upcoming record.

Fans couldn't contain their excitement to hear the return of their favorite Korean act.

In fact, the hashtag “#GAGAPINK” is the #1 trending topic in Philippine Twitter followed by other related topics such as “BLACKPINK,” “Lady Gaga,” and “Jisoo.”

“#GAGAPINK” on Philippine Twitter on April 23, 2020.

According to BLINKS the team-up could be the “collaboration of the century.”

The song with Lady Gaga isn't the first time the K-pop group has worked with a foreign artist.

In 2018, BLACKPINK collaborated with British singer Dua Lipa for “Kiss and Make Up” which made it into the Billboard Hot 100.

“Chromatica” was initially scheduled to be released on April 10, but was postponed due to the coronavirus.

At the time she tweeted, “This is such a hectic and scary time for all of us, and while I believe art is one of the strongest things we have to provide joy and healing to each other during times like this, it just doesn't feel right to me to release this album with all that is going during this global pandemic.”

Lady Gaga has still to announce the date for her album's release.
