"World-famous Korean pop girl group Blackpink has formed with four girls: Lisa, Jennie, Rose, and Jisoo. On October 15, 2022, Blackpink began their 'Born Pink' world tour from Seoul, South Korea, and the 'Encounter' concerts began on July 15, 2023, in Saint-Denis, France. The world tour ended on September 17, 2023.
However, there were conflicts between the YG Entertainment agency and the Blackpink group regarding whether they would renew their contract with the agency. After months of discussions, Blackpink members decided to renew their contract once again with YG Entertainment.
Recently, all Blackpink members established their labels and agencies to promote their solo careers. Firstly, Jisoo signed with her brother's company 'Bliss' for all her solo activities. Then, Jennie officially launched her agency called 'OA' (ODD ATELIER). As the third member to announce their label, Lisa officially announced her 'LLOUD' agency on February 8, 2024.
Rose is the only member who hasn’t confirmed her label or agency yet. But most Blackpink fans, known as 'Blinks,' believe Rose will also announce her new agency to promote her solo activities shortly.
So, into the discussion, what do you guys think about all the Blackpink members establishing their agencies or labels?
They made their debut as a group, but after their global popularity and success, they paved their career paths according to their desires. However, some people argue that it's not good to establish their agencies just to promote their solo careers while still signing with YG Entertainment. A few are curious whether the girls can succeed with their labels. The discussion is ongoing, and all social media platforms are filled with different opinions and suggestions.
On the other hand, some may think that because of their solo projects and activities, the girls will not be able to give their best to group performances. Some predict that Blackpink will soon disband due to their solo schedules. But others say that Blackpink fans will get to see their favorite girls pursue solo paths and group activities together, with many more concerts and music releases to come.
However, Blackpink members have worked hard to come this far in their careers. They have their desires and preferences, unique skills, and different vibes, so they should decide to create new ventures in their lives when they are capable enough to do so.
As K-pop fans, what do you think about their choices? Will they make their solo careers as successful as they were as a group?
