We are talking about ONE song in seven years. Not 5, ONE. I'm sad for blinks but if i were her I'd sign contract with someone else, someone who will give me opportunity to showcase myself as an artist. There's no excuses for giving jenny only one song. Again, ONE!
Just add X solo songs/albums in X years into the contract. It's very common for music contracts. Jennie signed the original contract to be a member of BP, not a soloist.
they just dont want to be a group anymore, they are so huge they could pull off leaving together with their brand rights and continuing as a group even on different companies but they just dont want to.
YGE's under no obligation to sell the BP IP for any amount of money. It doesn't matter how "huge" the girls are.
One could similarly argue that the staff's efforts in building their popularity and arranging all their jobs/deals (group and solo) has earned heaps for the girls.
More comebacks is something that YGE could easily provide (hire more staff/producers if necessary). YGE hasn't in the past, but I'm sure they would if Jennie made that a condition for resigning.
The girls could probably go to almost any of the big international music companies. The companies may be willing to spend huge amounts of money to sign the girls, but there is one thing they definitely cannot give them: use of the "Blackpink" brand/IP, including everything associated with it, like their lightstick design.
The girls are individually big, but Blackpink is bigger, so losing the ability to use the brand would hurt.
My opinion: there is nothing that even UMG, or a similar company, can offer (that YGE can't) that could compensate for the loss of the use of Blackpink IP, even if they had no interest in working as part of the group and went 100% solo. The only exception would be if they (Jisoo) left the music industry entirely to pursue other things (acting), but even in that case the brand would still be valuable.
Of course, they could dislike working in YGE so much that they leave anyway, or work out a contract with YGE that allows them to use the IP, but YGE could charge a ton of money for that if they are willing to let the new company use the IP at all.

the girl are under a 360 contract
The "360 deal" is a thing in the West because artists traditionally have their label only cover certain things related to promotion and distribution. It implies a certain level of independence and creative freedom for the artists.
For kpop groups, "360 deal" is an understatement. The companies own the group IP, have complete creative control over the group, and take a cut of everything. Group members are one step away from being employees of their companies.
Gina dropped a song. The lyricism is lacking, but she sounds great!

The vocal part is good but the talk-singing and rapping makes it sound like an amateur production (which I suppose it is).
Blacklabel really need to have her comeback sooner this time.
Exactly. A single, or an acting gig, before the end of the year would be good. Something. And continue with hosting her variety Yes Or Hot.
Somi and Miuccia Prada
Holding on weekly:

The group will be managed by Wake One, not TBL. Teddy and other TBL producers are just taking part in the show, and probably producing a couple songs for their debut. TBL is expanding, so they could easily manage at least one of the BP girls' solo careers. They recently signed a couple of big actors, so maybe Jisoo?
Tbh, I am surprised they are involved in the show. Very strange for Teddy to be so public, and TBL is working on their own in-house group.
Do you really think YG would do that? YG will only share their artists to their sublabels but definitely not in other agencies.
The Black Label is the most possible route but Teddy will be focusing on Produce 101 girls.
So there's a really big chance that BP would disband for good.
Produce 101? What did I miss?
Somi loving her fans.
Somi and Wes Anderson
Emma Watson, Amanda Gorman, Hunter Schafer, Letitia Wright, Jeon Somi, Rosalía and Kylie Jenner (at the edge)
Also Benedict Cumberbatch
Somi #2 female soloist, after IU (on Melon).
Wait, the news coincidentally came out right before the stock market closed.
Wow, that is suspicious.
Even though I loved Blackpink, I only felt Rose's passion for music. It makes more sense for Jisoo to go to an acting agency, Yg's acting department is probably not very good, acting agency is a better option if she wants to improve her acting. I hope Lisa and Jennie continue making music, even if it is in another agency. I think Yg can handle one person's solo. I remember Rose had a lot of compositions. All they have to do is edit them. Rose's reflected herself, her solo was not Yg's style. I hope Rose did signs with a guarantee of three or four albums.
YG's acting agency is surprisingly good. TheBlackLabel, an affiliate label of YG, recently signed Park Bogum and Lee Jongwon. I wouldn't be surprised if Jisoo moved to TBL for her solo work.
