Fans around the world are paying all their attention to the latest information about idol group BLACKPINK. It is known that the group will continue to maintain and will not disband, but the 4 members have not yet decided on signing an individual contract with YG.

The news that the globally famous idol girl group, from Korea, BlackPink, is at risk of disbanding the group and ending its contract with the management unit, YG Entertainment, has been brewing for the past month. The issue makes fans around the world sad and disappointed.

As each day passes, netizens are looking forward to the latest news from the group. By the morning of November 20, Korean media also officially reported on this issue. Specifically, according to Munhwa Ilbo, all four BlackPink members have agreed to work as a group with YG Entertainment, which means they have not disbanded. However, regarding signing individual contracts with all 4 members, the BlackPink girls have not yet completely decided.

Previously, there was information that two of the four members had signed a contract to maintain group activities and YG Entertainment planned to officially announce it after signing a contract with the remaining two members.

However, at this time it is still unclear whether the four members will sign an exclusive contract with YG Entertainment or not. Currently, no member has signed a new contract with YG Entertainment. Lisa soon decided to go her own way, and the other members are also negotiating terms with various companies.

The exclusive contract with BlackPink expired in August and YG Entertainment has been negotiating with the members since then. However, they did not update further on the negotiation progress. Some Korean media revealed that Rosé is the only member to renew her contract with YG Entertainment. This information created speculations that the remaining three members decided not to renew.

This latest statement from YG Entertainment is the first update on Blackpink's contract extension two months after its expiration. In response to this news, the Korean public speculated that this was a sign that the extension was not satisfactory: "I have a feeling they continue to update the information because they couldn't renew with the group"; "I think Blackpink only renewed their group contract, but for individual activities, they go their own way"; "The company is delaying the announcement probably just to wait for their new girl group Baby Monster to debut"; "They don't want their stock price to drop before Baby Monster comes out so they're trying to hold everything together"...

Many netizens also saw signs of not renewing the contract, such as Lisa's acceptance to perform at the Crazy Horse strip club, which caused great controversy recently. Lisa's overseas manager Alice Kang and overseas manager Alison Chang and Jennie's Korean manager Huit all quit their jobs at YG Entertainment. Of course, everything just stops at speculation, the official results can only wait for the company to announce.
