Why the Blackpink rumours are actually great news

I mean I hate to be a negative nancy but all these groups who are still "active" after switching labels, they never release music. SNSD made one comeback in 5 years after the three members left SM. KARA didn't make a comeback until 7 years later. Even T-ara who have the rights to their name, have only made one comeback since they officially left MBK. Girl's Day hasn't even made one comeback since they left their label. The fact of the matter is they say this to appease fans who don't wanna accept disbandment. But at the end of the day, disbanded groups are just as active as these "inactive" groups where the members are all under different companies. I mean it's just a logistical nightmare and profits probably aren't gonna be as good when you're splitting between a bunch of labels.

Contrary to some of the more hopeful narratives we see regarding this, group members leaving their original companies is almost always a very bad sign for the group's activities. It usually signals that they're effectively disbanded but with the possibility of occasional reunions left open. However I don't know if most Blackpink fans would even care. If they go inactive like these other groups did, only having a reunion once in a blue moon, who would even notice?

I mean they love to boast of BP's touring power, so they'd probably notice the complete lack of touring from now on, but other than that... business as usual!

It's not like the girls leaving the company is changing the group comeback schedule anyway. If they all stayed with YG, the hiatus would've been 3-4 years, now it's 5-6 years. At least they have the creative freedom for their solo career paths.

All we would be missing is their group tours, which will now be limited to once-in-a-blue-moon reunion performances.

Me with ioi and izone...

How many year passed after ioi again that all members keep saying they will do a reunion but it's still nothing till this day.

Please take those idols words related to this with a grain of salt. Even if they want to do it, I'm not sure if their new company will be happy to share their profits with others. They might have cb later once in 3-5 years or even more.

I do agree at some point but as others have said the groups that do this don’t exactly have regular comeback schedules and it’s not like Blackpink as soloist aren’t in demand as well. The girls will be very busy it will be hard to align all of their schedules especially after a different company is running each of them.

Have groups done touring after members signed elsewhere?

Only Rose?

That'd be awful because YG can only give few artists a comeback each year

They should renew Jisoo if that was the plan

someone correct me if i'm wrong but I think Mamamoo did

indeed great news. The girls get to do their own things unfettered by the laziness of YG. As for the group comebacks, it wouldn't really make a difference as even with YG they only do one comeback every 2 years.

I agree with everything you said my friend but in BP's case - how is that any different than like now lol

we all know Jisoo and Jennie and Rosé and Lisa are four soloists who collab together once in a blue moon!!!
