From February 23 to March 23, the Institute analyzed big data about singers currently promoting in areas including consumer participation, media activities, communication, community activities, etc. .

The reason why BlackPink has been struggling recently is partly due to the end of their contract with YG. Recently, rumors about YG spending up to 7.7 million USD for each Blackpink member after releasing the 2023 financial report became a hot topic online. On March 21, YG Entertainment released its financial report for 2023, in which a huge amount of 41 billion won (nearly 30.8 million USD) was recorded in the "Special Payment" category. .

According to Xports News , this is a deposit to recruit artists to sign an exclusive contract with the company. Last year, YG did not sign new or extended contracts with any artists, leading to speculation from the media about this money being spent on the four members of Blackpink to renew their contracts.

Xports News believes that, if this information is accurate, Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo will receive more than 10 billion won (about 7.7 million USD) each. The online community is "exciting" at this information and many people are asking questions about the length of the contract between Blackpink and YG.

Currently, YG remains silent on all related information. At the end of 2023, YG confirmed that Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo will continue to be members of Blackpink and an exclusive contract with this group has been signed.

A company spokesperson said: "We have completed the renewal of exclusive contracts for all 4 Blackpink members, artists under the company, based on strong trust after careful discussion. with the group".

The group's plans include releasing a new album and going on a global tour. However, none of these four members have renewed their individual contracts with YG, which means their personal activities will be managed by other agencies.
