Fans of Blackpink express anxiety as the popular K-pop group navigates a new contract.

According to Yonhap news agency, K-pop girl group Blackpink is currently in the final stages of negotiating a new group contract. However, it remains unclear whether their individual management contracts will be renewed. Since their contract with YG Entertainment expired in August, fans have anxiously awaited news and speculated about the future of the band. The members of Blackpink - Jisoo, Lisa, Jennie, and Rosé - have not commented on their contract status. Recent reports in Korean media have added fuel to the speculation, with concerns that the singers may split up. However, the Munhwa Ilbo newspaper reported that the members have agreed to continue their group activities under YG Entertainment, although they will not renew their exclusive contracts. If this is confirmed, each member would have the freedom to pursue solo endeavors and only come together as Blackpink when their schedules allow. YG Entertainment has stated that an announcement will be made once the negotiations are complete. Fans have taken to social media to plead with the band to stay together, expressing their sadness and fear of a potential disbandment. Blackpink has become the biggest K-pop girl group globally, and each member has achieved celebrity status individually. It is worth noting that their contract expired at a time when their male counterparts, BTS, are on a break due to mandatory military service.
