Blackpink’s Rosé Renews Contract, But Jisoo And Jennie To Form Their Own Agencies

YG Entertainment Remains Cautious on Reports of Jisoo and Jennie’s Solo Agencies

YG Entertainment, the agency of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, has remained cautious about reports that members Jisoo and Jennie are forming their own solo agencies.

Earlier, News1 reported that Jisoo and Jennie had recently established their own solo agencies. The report also stated that the two members are still in discussions with YG Entertainment about their future group activities. As a result, it is likely that the companies they have established will focus on their individual activities.

Previously, even before the reports regarding the two members’ actions, Blackpink member Rosé and YG Entertainment were the only members to renew their contracts, and in the case of Lisa and Jisoo, it was also revealed that they signed contracts with other agencies for tens of billions of won in down payments. Separately from this, 1 There were even rumors that they were discussing a contract to continue Blackpink’s activities for about six months a year.

However, YG Entertainment also responded to Star News by saying, “Nothing has been confirmed yet and we are discussing it.”

Until recently, the possibility of members renewing their contracts with YG has been the biggest topic of discussion for Blackpink. On August 8, with Blackpink’s 7-year exclusive contract expiring since 2016, claims were made that Lisa, a member of Thailand, would receive a down payment of tens of billions of won and transfer to an overseas agency, and it just so happened that Lisa was a member of a global luxury brand group. Dating rumors arose in foreign media as she was seen hanging out with Frédéric Arnault, the fourth son of the chairman of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) and CEO of watch brand TAG Heuer, and even hinted at the possibility of Lisa leaving YG.

Meanwhile, the members tried to reassure fans by continuously releasing photos and videos showing off their close loyalty to each other. Last April, Jisoo appeared on the YouTube channel ‘It’s No Matter What I Started’ and when the topic of discord between Blackpink members came up, she said, “We laugh a lot when we see that. ‘I’m keeping you in check’, ‘Why don’t you upload it and create rumors of discord? Mine’s mine.” “They should have promoted it.’ It can be easily passed off as a joke,” he said, directly revealing his position.
