I remember seeing around the beginning of this year, a sasaeng or leaker, whichever one you wanna call them, posted a bunch of leakes on their Instagram story.
One of the posts had said "Lisa + HYBE", without any additional context added.
When I first seen it, I kinda strugged it off, cuz I didn't believe that any BlackPink member would be involved with HYBE lol.
But now, being on Twitter and seeing all these articles, talking about Lisa not coming to a agreement with YG regarding contracts and their might be a little conflict in terms of not meeting eye to eye.....I'm thinking she might actually sign with another company.

And if she wants to stay in Korea, then it's clear she's gonna sign with a company here, but it has to be a big company.
Now the only big companies in Korea apart from YG is
Kakao Entertainment
Obviously looking at those companies, they not even on her level lmao.
HYBE is literally the only company in Korea who would be able to handle her level of popularity and pay her whatever money she would want.
Either Bang PD would sign her under BigHit or create a whole new label, just for her to sign to.
I do believe though that she will stick with BlackPink musically, and handle all her music under YG.
But in terms of management for international activities, her modeling, and other solo opportunities, HYBE will be that for her.
So she'd be between two labels pretty much, like I've seen many other idols do.
HYBE has the clout, money, and opportunities for her to sign there.
So if she REALLY DON'T stay with YG as a whole, HYBE is her first option.
