Which new company will Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa (BlackPink) sign with?

Korean media reported that the group BlackPink's contract with YG Entertainment expired and only member Rosé renewed her contract.

Meanwhile, three members Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa are expected to leave the company and move to another company but will continue to participate in group activities for 6 months in a year. These three members are in the final stages of discussion with the goal of working "individually and together".

Korean media reported that 3 members Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa did not renew their contracts with YG.

Immediately, BlackPink's management company, YG Entertainment, spoke up, saying that the contract extension was still under negotiation: "Nothing has been confirmed regarding BlackPink's contract extension and discussions are still ongoing."

However, this news has shocked the entertainment industry and even affected YG Entertainment's stock price.

Following the news of BlackPink's failed contract renewal, YG Entertainment's stock price plummeted, falling more than 13%. Data from the Korea Exchange on September 21 showed that YG Entertainment's stock price fell to 69,200 KRW ($51.59) per share - a sharp decline of 13.28% from the previous day when the stock price was 79,800 KRW ($59.50) per share.

Over the past 8 months, a series of rumors have shown that YG is having difficulty negotiating a contract with BlackPink. Although the management company has denied all the baseless rumors, this still makes fans worried about BlackPink's future activities.

While many fans expect BlackPink to continue working under YG Entertainment, many also hope that the three members will start a new journey with different management companies after the above news.

Currently, on many online communities and social media platforms, the topics: "Which company is best suited for BlackPink members if they decide to leave YG? " and " Which company will the three members sign with? " are being hotly discussed.

The new direction of the three members Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa is being hotly discussed on K-pop music forums.

Some opinions say that HYBE Labels would be suitable for Jennie, Jisoo would be suitable for SM Entertainment and Lisa would be suitable for a foreign company like Universal Music Group.

"Jennie may sign with HYBE so she can participate in various activities," "Jisoo will be a good fit for SM Entertainment's actors because she can further develop her career as an actress.

In addition, Jisoo also has the appearance that is suitable for SM", "Lisa has many offers from big companies abroad so she will definitely sign a contract with a big foreign company", "I guess the three members will not renew their contracts with YG", "I wonder which company can afford to pay each member",... are comments from many K-pop music fans.

It is reported that Jisoo and Lisa have both accepted exclusive contract offers worth tens of billions of won from Korean companies. The potential of both has attracted the attention of foreign investors.

However, the Korean media did not mention Jennie's direction. Currently, Jennie said she is working on a solo album that is "unique, full of Jennie's style and only Jennie has".
