In a statement to South Korean outlet Yonhap News Agency published shortly after the announcement was made, YG Entertainment described ‘Shut Down’ as “a title that is intuitive and creates a strange tension”.
“BLACKPINK will once again captivate music fans around the world with [their] unique charisma and girl-crush charm,” the statement read.
