BLACKPINK is finally back, and their highly anticipated new single “JUMP” drops on July 11. But there’s even more buzz thanks to the name behind the camera: Dave Meyers. If that name rings a bell, it’s because he’s one of the most iconic music video directors in the business, and he’s teamed up with BLACKPINK for what could be their most cinematic comeback yet.

This isn’t his first time working with K-pop artists either. He previously directed videos for WINNER and collaborated with Lisa on New Woman from the Alter Ego album, which dropped earlier in February this year.
