Rumors have surfaced suggesting that BLACKPINK members, Jisoo and Jennie, are each setting up their individual talent agencies.
On the 25th, a media outlet reported that both Jisoo and Jennie have established their own agencies. According to the report, even with these developments, both stars remain in discussion with their original agency, YG Entertainment, regarding BLACKPINK's group activities.
In response to these speculations, YG Entertainment commented, "There is no confirmation regarding BLACKPINK's contract renewal and future activities," echoing previous statements on similar topics.
Debuting on August 8, 2016, BLACKPINK, comprised of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, recently saw the expiration of their contracts with YG Entertainment last month.
Given that the standard idol contracts limit exclusivity to a maximum of 7 years, it's not uncommon for groups to disband upon reaching this term. Thus, rumors regarding the renewal of BLACKPINK members' contracts have been making headlines frequently.
Recent buzz claims that only Rosé has come to a renewal agreement with YG Entertainment.
There are whispers that Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa might be moving to new agencies after securing significant signing bonuses, although they intend to continue group activities.
Upon these rumors, YG Entertainment rebutted, stating, "Nothing has been confirmed. Discussions are ongoing."

--------------------
I have a feeling they might not be as successful with solo activities rather than being part of BLACKPINK. Think wisely.
I acknowledge your talent! But would you have reached this height without songs composed by YG's Teddy?
I feel like they don't really need Jennie.
ㄴ Jennie and Lisa are world-class. If they leave, it would be a huge loss.
For YG, creating another BLACKPINK is a piece of cake. They're just not doing it yet. Wait and you'll see another group like BLACKPINK.
