Kill This Love is the second Korean extended play (third overall) by South Korean girl group Blackpink. It was released on April 5, 2019, by YG Entertainment and was distributed through YG Plus and Interscope Records.[3] It was their first Korean material since the release of Square Up in June 2018, and their first release with Interscope Records.[4] The title track was released as the lead single; it peaked at number two in South Korea and became the first top 50 hit by a female K-pop act in the United States and the United Kingdom. The track "Don't Know What to Do" was later promoted on Korean music programs.

Kill This Love debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard 200 with 19,200 units sold including over 9,100 pure sales moved, making it the highest-charting album by a female K-pop group at the time.[5] The EP reached the top ten in many territories, including Canada, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea, and the top twenty in Australia. It was certified platinum by the Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) in June 2019 for selling 250,000 units, becoming Blackpink's second EP to do so after Square Up, and was later certified double platinum in September 2021 for selling 500,000 units and triple platinum in July 2024 for selling 750,000 units.
