These departures seem to herald a not very quiet year for YG. During the past 9 months, this entertainment giant has continuously appeared in the newspapers. But this is not a positive sign when most of the public's interest is speculation about YG's future with the global girl group BLACKPINK.
Recently, at noon on October 10, YG released a poster and announced the launch of a new girl group BABYMONSTER in November. This information made Kpop fans "thrilled". While the contract with BLACKPINK has not yet been finalized with a series of conflicting speculations, G-Dragon left YG for Warner, the future of new activities and projects is the focus of attention.

Even though the lineup was finalized in May, BABYMONSTER's debut is still a mystery. Korean media reported that YG's new girl group would officially debut in September this year, but in the end it was postponed indefinitely to prepare the product.
Therefore, many fans are worried about BABYMONSTER, the attraction will be reduced when the members' faces are revealed for too long. In addition, the absence of Ahyeon - the most fan-attracting factor on the group's social platforms - also raised many rumors that BABYMONSTER will be missing a member before debut.

Starting after BLACKPINK's last concert in Seoul in mid-September, Korean media continuously released exclusive information about the 4 girls' re-signing. Accordingly, Rosé is the only member to re-sign, while Jennie - Jisoo are said to have opened their own company, Lisa was offered a contract of more than 1,000 billion by the American record company. In response to all the speculation, YG only issued a statement: "Nothing has been confirmed about contract renewal or future activities."

The fact that the company is "ambiguous" about re-signing shows that the management contract has not yet reached a final conclusion, YG and the members have not reached a common agreement. Fans reassure themselves by waiting for official confirmation and respecting the idol's decision. However, if they are no longer under the same company, it is difficult to expect BLACKPINK to release music every year and have another explosive World Tour.
