Blackpink, the sensational K-pop group consisting of Jisoo, Lisa, Jennie, and Rose, has decided to part ways with YG Entertainment for their solo endeavors. In a recent press release, YG Entertainment announced that while the group will remain signed under the agency, each member will pursue their solo careers independently. YG Entertainment expressed their support for the members’ individual activities, stating, “We will do our utmost to support Blackpink’s activities, and we will cheer on the members’ individual activities with warm hearts.”
Blackpink, formed under YG Entertainment in 2016, has garnered immense recognition and popularity worldwide. Their recent world tour comprising 66 performances in 34 cities was witnessed by 2.1 million spectators, as reported by YG Entertainment. With their rising success, there were speculations regarding the need to renegotiate their deals in favor of the artists.
Individually, the members of Blackpink have already made their mark in the global entertainment industry through solo musical projects. Jisoo recently debuted her solo single bundle “Me,” while Jennie, who released her solo project in 2018, has now launched a new label and company called Odd Atelier (OA). Additionally, Jennie made her acting debut in HBO’s “The Idol” earlier this year.
