The Reasons YG Entertainment Keeps BLACKPINK’s Contract Status Secret

BLACKPINK celebrated their 7th anniversary on August 8, but YG has not confirmed their contract status. BLACKPINK’s two Born Pink World Tour encore gigs on September 16th and 17th may have been their final.

Since then, social media has been abuzz with member contract rumors. According to reports, Lisa will sign with an American record label, Rosé will renew her YG contract, and Jisoo and Jennie may start their own labels. The stock price of YG has dropped due to these reports, and investors are waiting for confirmation. The corporation just says, “Nothing has been confirmed.” The Korean media has explained why YG has not confirmed BLACKPINK’s contract status after 7 years together.

BLACKPINK’s YG contract status is unknown.
YG has never released BIGBANG and 2NE1’s contracts, according to Star News. YG has never confirmed artist contract renewals.

Although the members hint at “maintaining the BLACKPINK name,” the public believes the group and YG are actively discussing how to work together while pursuing different endeavors. BLACKPINK will advertise together for six months a year, leaving the rest for solo pursuits, according to rumors. This means the four members don’t want BLACKPINK to disappear when they find new possibilities.

BLACKPINK remains close despite contract extension speculations. Jisoo said the gang laughs at discord rumors. Rosé shared her Sydney trip vlog with Jisoo. Despite public criticism, the entire group supported Lisa’s contentious appearance at Crazy Horse nightclub. Even if BLACKPINK signs with a new management company, fans still trust their future based on their actions.
