[ OFFICIAL] YG Entertainment announces that BLACKPINK only renewed their contract for group activities, None of BLACKPINK members have renewed their individual contracts with YG Entertainment.

I been a blink way before they debuted, wait for them since like 2013

It was good and bad 7 years

I don't need a 5 year hiatus to know it's done

Why people? WHY?

Good for Rosé

It seems they learned well from YG"s past and all plan to keep releasing music

Well, it's sort of bittersweet, but not really...I guess. I look forward to this new chapter for them, especially Rosé's solo comeback.

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

Well, it's all up to Teddy and TBL now

No it's not, bp decide this

They should have been honest and direct instead of hiding behind the pretense of a group contract

Awesomeeeeee more content between each group hiatus

you are being dramatic we already knew they didn't sign their individual activities with YG if anything for me this is better

No I didn't

I been in kpop long enough to know what this "group contracts"

I been lied by yg multiple times, I didn't need the members lying to me too. I would rather them just be direct about it

ok that complicates things further

welp, comeback in 3-10+ years

And YG needs for them to comeback

The company is finally in the position they deserve

Maybe I'm just old school, but I don't know why they're even allowed separate contracts for the group and their solo activities. You used to sign an exclusive contract with your company and that was it. YG must be desperate and feel like the girls had all the leverage.

"Overseas activities" for Lisa? How vague. So... she's going to be a socialite.

she's Freddie's gf

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

It's pretty clear and direct for me

" We will continue our solo career and continue to collect the money that comes from our name that YG uses. "

Then they should have been honest and not fool the fans

indeed...they'll just continue releasing BP merch every couple of months to rake in money while just focusing on their solo stuff.

This is simple. If they don't release an album by the two year window or even have a hint that they're going to, then they're just using the BP name for brand purposes. We'll see if the girls are being dishonest about their intentions or not. Hopefully they don't screw around the Blinks that have been there for them for years.

Imo if they don't do anything this year it basically mean that, they know they need blinks (a big ass fandom) to move their solo careers and eliminated bp will erase that support. I give them. 1 year, 6 months for cmb news or it's done for

Is this like SM? they keep them on the books, they ain't technically disbanded but they won't be active as a group?

They are smart enough to know that group activities and comebacks help their solo careers.

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

2 years ? their last cb was in 2022, they must return between August and September 2024

we know how YG operates...he's gonna time BP's comeback to go up against BTS comeback in 2025.

Quote from Panpriyah-lice

Of course they need Blinks, all idols need their fandom, who will support them then? ... army? once?

They just finished a world tour this year and 2024 hasn't started yet, relax

idols shouldn't lied to thei fans

Like don't be a pussy and said we over, and be done with it like sistar or other groups did

they all have a legion of akgaes. This is the akgae era of Blackpink.

maybe YG will want to release more group music since they don't have a cut in BP individual earning

That's what I'm saying. 2024.

That's what I mean. 2024. They can't be jerking fans around. If there isn't even a hint of a comeback by September, it's clear that it's all just a ruse meant to preserve their brand value. Just gonna give the girls the benefit of the doubt until they give me a reason not to.

Lol that's how I read it as well. I think of all the members, Lisa to me seems least interested in entertainment/music and more into the socialite thing. I actually think of all the members we will see less of her as time goes on.
