Do you think BLACKPINK are done with actively promoting as a group? 89
The result is only visible to the participants.
I made a similar thread in the past asking when people thought they would return, but I'm going to inject a little more of my opinion in this one--I think they're done.
To be clear, I do not WANT them to be done, because I want all our great girl groups to stick around for a long time (I wish 2nd gen groups came back more often).
So let me cook for a bit.
I think they renewed as a group, not to doore group content but because they knew their individual projects might be damaged if people felt they were abandoning their group activities to do them.
Since they've all established their own labels and will do their solo work outside of YG, the latter has no control over their individual schedules whatsoever. There is literally zero reason NOT to renew and maintain the BLACKPINK name. There are zero downsides.
But honestly, the vibe I get from them is that they're over traditional idol life. Which is perfectly fine.
I think, at best, we can expect them to do a special release for the fans ala SNSD, but the group as we know it is retired, for all intents and purposes.
No group comeback since 2 years ago, and I highly doubt we see anything group wise by this time next year.
Do you agree?
