Blackpink fans are still worried about the group’s future activities, especially when the four members seem to want to focus on solo work.
On December 6, fans finally breathed a sigh of relief when there was an official announcement that all Blackpink members had renewed their contracts with YG to work as a group. However, the girls have not yet signed the individual exclusive contract with the management company.
Immediately afterward, Korean media published articles about this incident, revealing: “Even though YG has renewed the contract with the girls for group activities, they are still discussing individual activities.” core”. It seems that some members have expressed their intention to pursue another path rather than leaving the development of their solo careers in the hands of YG.
Specifically, if Blacpink signs a group contract but does not sign an individual contract with YG and moves to another company, the 4 members will only appear together and participate in group activities under YG such as group albums, concerts, performing world tour.
This makes Blackpink fans extremely worried about the future of the girl group.
Famous as the girl group that is “lazy to release new songs” in K-pop, the group’s 8-year career has so far only released 2 full albums and 5 mini albums, a total of 33 Korean songs during their time together. . This is a rather modest number compared to contemporaries such as BTS (218 songs) and TWICE (132 songs).
With each member becoming an independent brand, actively pursuing solo activities, it is likely that the group’s active time will be shortened.
An insider said, “Solo activities often cause division within idol groups. That’s why some companies delay some members’ solo schedules. All members Blackpink are all working solo, but YG is making the group’s future uncertain.”
Currently, Rosé is warmly supported by the public for going solo, Jisoo is busy participating in a new movie project, Jennie is still “roaming” in the fashion industry with a series of projects while member Lisa chose to stay silent and enjoy the rest in Paris after the noisy performance at Crazy Horse.
Although YG has stated that the girls are “preparing to release a new album and prepare for another large-scale tour”, with so many “empty promises”, the public is now no longer placing many orders. trust in this company.
