The likelihood of BLACKPINK renewing their contracts with YG Entertainment is increasing.
Recently, YG Entertainment updated its roster of artists. Notably, profiles of G-Dragon and Taeyang, whose exclusive contracts have expired, were removed from YG Entertainment's website.
Amid these changes, the profiles of all BLACKPINK members remain, drawing attention. BLACKPINK's contract with YG Entertainment has already expired, and they are currently in renegotiation.
This development has led netizens to speculate about the possibility of all BLACKPINK members renewing their contracts, raising expectations for their continued group activities.
Previously, in September, BLACKPINK completed their year-long world tour. The tour was the largest ever for a girl group, spanning 34 cities across North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, with a total of 64 shows, and attracting an impressive 1.8 million audience members.
During the tour, Jennie referenced BLACKPINK's 7th anniversary, thanking the fans, "We are always grateful for your support and love. We will continue to be the amazing BLACKPINK."
Additionally, BLACKPINK received the Order of the British Empire at a cultural and arts encouragement event held at Buckingham Palace in London on the 22nd. The Order of the British Empire is awarded to individuals who make significant contributions to British society or achieve outstanding results in various fields such as politics, economy, culture, arts, science, and sports.
BLACKPINK was recognized for their role as ambassadors for the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021, which the UK chaired. They were honored for raising global awareness about the need for climate change action.
Following the award, BLACKPINK members shared a group photo on their individual social media accounts, demonstrating their strong team bond.
With the likelihood of BLACKPINK's full-team renewal with YG Entertainment appearing high, many are eagerly awaiting official confirmation of their re-signing.
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK's exclusive contract with YG Entertainment ended last August, and they have been in talks for renewal for the past three months.
