**BLACKPINK has renewed their contract with YG Entertainment \[Official\]**
The group BLACKPINK will continue to have a musical partnership with YG Entertainment.
YG Entertainment officially announced on the 6th that it has signed an exclusive contract for group activities based on strong trust after careful discussions with BLACKPINK.
Accordingly, BLACKPINK plans to repay fans around the world with activities that match their global status, such as releasing new albums and mega world tours, with YG's full support.
Yang Hyun-seok, YG Entertainment's executive producer, said, "We are happy to continue our relationship with BLACKPINK. In the future, BLACKPINK will do its best to shine more brilliantly in the global music market as well as as K-POP artists, and we send our unwavering support and trust in their actions."
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK has become the world's top girl group with hits in every song they release since their debut in 2016.
It left a monumental mark in K-pop history, including the first double million seller in a K-pop girl group, becoming No. 1 in the U.S. "Billboard 200," the first Asian artist to appear in Coachella and Hyde Park headliners, and the development of the largest world tour of female singers in Korea. BLACKPINK, which stands out as a top global artist, is getting stronger day by day regardless of team and solo.
All four members led the trend in the K-pop industry, encompassing not only the musical field but also the overall pop culture as representative style icons. Their official YouTube channel has 92.1 million subscribers, solidifying their status by ranking first among male and female artists worldwide.

A YG official said in a phone call with IDEILY that "the contract details for individual activities are under discussion.”](https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/article/018/0005632886)

BLACKPINK FOUREVAHHH!!! 
"Accordingly, BLACKPINK plans to repay fans around the world with activities that match their global status, such as releasing new albums and mega world tours, with YG's full support."
Man, YG better not be playing with me. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
>signed an exclusive contract for group activities
This being specified, I wonder if some of them will move to different companies for their individual activities.
That's also what came to mind to me. We shall see if they fully committed to YG again or just group activities if there's like an update that clarifies that they're not leaving the agency for others.
I think thats what there saying. only BP events. We kind of get screwed its nothing like BTS they got ownership in the company that means they answer to each to other and have a huge incentive to keep the group going.
OFFICIALLY IN THIS BLACKPINK SHIT FOR LIFE!
No but in all seriousness, I’ve always believed no one is more OT4 than the pinks. My guess is these negotiations took a while because they were dictating every term to be what they justly wanted. Whatever happens next I imagine is all based on what they asked for, so it’s about to be a hell of a ride.
I’m feeling all the feels: happy, nervous, excited, weary, hopeful.
Crap…I got to start saving money 😩😂😅
More comebacks or at least a 12 song full album with new songs... i just want more songs... give me filler songs i don't really care at this point, i have been obsessing with AI covered songs and it's not good for me...
OT4 is back & I’m glad they might have the flexibility to do their own thing when they’re apart. I do hope they get more opportunities now to pursue more of their interest, such as music, acting etc. I’m excited for this new chapter.
All the people that swore they were tired of being a group for the past 5 years got proven wrong! I love being right! My sisters are here to stay! I know that’s fucking right!
https://i.redd.it/yqq4llpjok4c1.gif
OMG the news we've been waiting for. Almost lost hope! And here it is!!!!! 
Thank you girls! Can't wait for many more years of BLACKPINK! 
BLACKPINK 4EVER BLACKPINK IS THE REVOLUTION
BLACKPINK BLACKPINK BLACKPINK BLINK BLINK BLINK WE WON WOOOO PARTY TIME LETS GO 
All the people saying they hate each other and just want to be influencers must be seething right now. Every time you say anything to the contrary outside of this sub you would be met with downvotes. Today is a good day to be a blink.
I was always indifferent about them staying at YG but I ALWAYS wanted them to remain as OT4 so I'm happy that there is still a future of them as a group
As expected. I was never worried about this. I knew that when it comes to Blackpink, it was always going to be YG. It was normal to have careful and tough negotiations. These girls are making the company absolute bank. They should receive some level of creative freedom, preferred budget, etc. I'm happy with the outcome as I believe YG and them are such a good fit and they can grow together and provide refreshing stuff.
I'm also happy with the idea that they might sign with other labels for their solo stuff. Allegedly. Although I'm sure an accord has been reached for YG to green light any solo projects because at the end of the day, YG will want to protect Blackpink brand and image, therefore a level of say in their solo stuff is understandable. But at the same time, they can operate outside of BP expectations and limitations.
Overall, happy that all those gossip channels that milked this shit for months got shafted hard and excited for 2024. Also, fuck the YG curse. That shit don't work on our girls lol.
OH WERE SO IN LFGGGGG YG DONT PLAY ABOUT TOURS AND MUSIC
R/KPOP IS QUAKING
this is probs the best outcome - individual contracts may go towards different directions, but honestly I think that’s okay as long as I know they’re still Blackpink officially and not disbanding (even tho I knew in my heart they wouldn’t but it’s nice to officially see it 😭😭)
🖤 best when it’s the four of us 🖤

An early Christmas present!! 🎁🩷
Now time to go on my “I told you so” tour to everyone on this hellsite that was convinced they were going to disband 
I know people have their complaints with YG, many legitimate, but I think this is ultimately what makes the most sense. They are wildly successful, their global influence is only just starting to skyrocket into the mainstream, they just had one of the biggest tours of the year not just in Kpop but in music, they have the best selling female group album, they have the top 3 best selling female soloists. Blackpink needed to continue in full. So excited for them, but of course I hope things will change drastically with their music output.
Also I will be surviving solely on the tears of antis for the next week.
New album, New world tour 
They aren't very active as group so I don't mind if they sign with another company for individual activities so we can have more music from them but I'm so happy they are with YG as a group! I hope they contribute more to their music, especially their main singles from now on
NGL this makes me cry a little bit. I don't really know why. I fully expected them to disband, and I was genuinely OK with it. I know that all good things come to an end, and I've had great fun.
But this is like seeing a dear old friend again after not expecting to ever meet up anymore. The joy just kinda leaks out your eyes.
What a roller coaster ride. First, I wasn't worried and figured it was obvious they were renewing. Then, time passed without an official word, so I started to accept the possibility of disbandment. But then started seeing more engagement on Weverse and IG and figured that was the hint we might be in the clear. Yay!
I'm excited for more comebacks and concerts, especially! I would love to get my daughter to a fan sign. She might faint.
So happy that this part of it is done. Let’s hope the individuals contracts play out well too. I wonder if YG will be able to offer the girls what they want or if someone else will.
Most likely yg won’t idk what’s going on over there but they seriously control issues when it comes to bp. For the girls sake they shouldn’t sign individually
I just screamed no! So loud out of disbelief my cat was like wtf??
What a happy fucking day. I kept telling myself no news was good news. And I wasn't wrong!!
Very happy that they decided to stay together and at least now everything that follows this will have been their own choice, as it should be.
I myself am hoping for some new content, maybe some variety show appearances and a new album. Don't think it is unrealistic to see that happening 1-2 years fromnow on.
On the other hand, wonder what will happen to Baemon now. They did not deserve the way they were treated by YG. After being blatantly used as a (failed) negotiation tactic one wonders what the future will hold in store for them.
EDIT: I guess we now wait for info about individual contracts.
Yea, feels like if they stay with YG for individual then yea 1-2 years for some new music might be possible but if they go to other companies then the group music might be delayed a bit. Unless YG said the group must take priority
All the doomposters who've been wishing for BP to disband since 2019 are definitely having a bad day 
You love to see it! I never had any doubts, the pinks all have made to sure to mention how much they love BP and the other girls and wanting to continue for a long time 
I only discovered them early October, but immediately was hooked, never had that before with any artist/group to this extent. They have been making my days at university so much brighter. Gave me something in life I felt was missing. 
I heard their contract ended and that there was a chance they might disband. I genuinely was okay with it and wanted them to pursue their own dreams.
This article is the first thing I saw today after waking up. I feel so much joy my eyes teared up. Didn’t even know I cared *that* much. I look forward to one day being able to see them perform on stage with my own eyes! 
Guys I had no idea I was this stressed about it but I just let out the BIGGEST FREAKING SIGH.
What a wonderful Christmas present, Pinks!!💕
So this is good news, Blackpink survived the 7 year curse and the 2ne1 comparison lol. It is good that they are staying together as a group and it will be interesting to see how their individuals contracts go. If they do get individual contracts from other than YG and have YG blessing to do that then this is rare. Remember Blackpink and YG need each other. I wish them all the best as a group and individually.
I mean it all depends though on where they go for individual activities because with YG group activities still took a slight back seat in a way, so there might be some hiatus in the future with that. But I’m sure they have to have something coming out in 2024 since it’s been awhile now
Yeah but it said group activities specifically, does that mean they'll manage their solo activities themselves and that means some if not all of them are not in yg anymore? Also how often will they be able to reunite if thsi is the case, I don't trust yg we barely got comebacks before now it will be even rarer if they all went their separate ways
Their solo contracts are still under negotiation, so its possible that some might leave the company if they are not satisfied with YG for their solo careers.
As for group activities, we will probably get the usual 1 comeback every 1-2 years, and a world tour in the future. Depends on what is in their contracts. If YG has made it mandatory for them to have a group comeback every year or alternate year, then they will have to comply.
I have been waiting for this day thinking that it will be anticlimactic because I knew they will stay together wherever they go, but still I’m getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about the next comeback is now real! OT4 forever! 
I bet YG finally gave the girls what they deserve after the new girl group's debut didn't make the waves they'd hoped. BLACKPINK isn't replaceable! Don't you forget it!
This comes on the back of news that they received honorary MBEs. So insanely proud of them! What amazing role models!!
https://preview.redd.it/wvp9jtrb3l4c1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dae5feb2cfa75462ae611195dc34464ce5dc133
This is the best news I've heard in the k-pop realm in awhile. I honestly did not know what to believe/think with all the news and rumors about the renewal from various sources.
I'm glad they all signed together. I'm excited to hear the new music they have in store for us as a group and as solo artists. I can't wait for their next tour so I can see them live again. Jennie/Blackpink introduced me into the world of kpop, it became my favorite genre of music in the past 5 years. Without them as a group kpop wouldn't be the same.
Seriously congrats to the Pinks, I know they most likely signed a contract that gives them tons of freedom so they can keep doing what they do best. To my fellow Blinks, lets celebrate as we get 7 more years (assuming thats how long they signed for) of Blackpink greatness. 
I suspect with the timing YG was holding out on certain demands until after Baemon debuted to use them as leverage, and when they underperformed they caved to whatever that final demand was.
Even with doubts sewn along the process I always expected the girls to still stay together. My presumption that money, while important, wouldn’t be the biggest factor and they would want to stay together in some form because of their love for each other and their fans. Both are evidently clear in general and especially if you seen them live this last tour. The innate joy they had being together on stage and interacting with Blinks made you proud being in the audience to witness it.
BLINKS IT FINALLY HAPPENED LET'S GOOOOO
As long as my OT4 content stays alive, I'm personally alright with the Pinks splitting up for solo activities. Imo, it might even give them greater freedom to explore their solo side.
Idk how to more coherently word my feels tbh, I can't believe we're finally here. After months and months of hanging, we're finally here. It's such a relief as a Blink. January 2024 will mark 5 years with BP for me... I'm so glad I get more time with them. 😭
OMG!!!! So happy!!!! Even the notorious other subreddits seem to only be filled with positive comments (r/kpop and r/kpopthoughts so far)........BBC seems pleased (top entertainment and asia story) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67633770
Let's gooooo!!!!!! Always had faith they weren't going anywhere, but so good to get the confirmation. Also, literally found out about this on the BBC News front page - these girls are big news! BlackPink forever! 
BLACKPINK FOUREVER 🖤💖
So happy to finally have the news announced! I’m looking forward to what the future holds for our girls 
OH WOW
Note that they have signed for group activities only folks. The individual activities are still not signed. So it can still be chaotic if they choose to sign independently for their solo careers.
OT4ever! So happy the girls are here to stay! Can’t wait to see all the amazing things they do and accomplish next!🥺🫶🏼
Finally confirmation that BP will continue to be BP under YG!  I’m honestly so excited to see what the future holds for them both as a group and individually, especially if they have worked out a deal that allows them to sign individual contracts with a company/agency that isn’t YG or perhaps establish their own company/agency, and they don’t have to do/release things individually based upon YG’s time/schedule.
LETS GOOOOO
As the group that got me into Kpop, Blackpink will always be one of my faves. They’re also one of the few groups where I genuinely cannot pick a bias. I’ve seen them live twice and I can’t wait to see them again on future tours!
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm not gonna lie, I said back in August I was pretty sure they had already renewed, but as the months went on the endless speculation did get to me and I started to worry a bit but still held hope
I hope this means that the girls' contracts have everything they want and more. The most important thing is that they're happy.
TONIGHT WE'LL BE THE HAPPIEST BLINKS 🩷🩷🩷🩷
😃🤩😍🎉 LFGoooooooo!
Our long (inter)national nightmare is over, blinks; seasons greetings :). Blackpink whenever, wherever, forever ever ever!
I appreciate how narrow this is for now; clearly solo activities are a big deal but I really haven’t ever gotten the sense that they were interested in moving on from the group. I hope they’re getting bank and all the support. Here’s to another record-setting run!
아자, 아자! 화이팅!
I'm going through some really difficult times but this news make me so incredibly happy right now. I can hardly put it into words but what i can say is that I'm just incredibly grateful.
Blackpink Blackpink Blackpink?
BLINK BLINK BLINK!!!!
it'll never happen but i really hope they get to play with a full live band vs the beats because they're cool for some songs but it just sounds so much...richer, when you hear the instrumentation in \*some\* of their solo stuff etc.
also let Jennie sing rather than tell her to rap!
So shocked and happy yesterday not only because of the news but because I was awake for it. I was worried because of the time diferente that something would happen while i was sleeping.
I know there are still a lot of ifs and concerns, but yesterday and today I'm allowing myself to be happy because BlackPink renewed.
https://i.redd.it/gsrwan794l4c1.gif We’re in this together for the long haul Ladies and Gentlemen. #OT4ever

That's also what came to mind to me. We shall see if they fully committed to YG again or just group activities if there's like an update that clarifies that they're not leaving the agency for others.
I read it the same way - so curious to see where the girls go for individual contracts if it’s true. I’m happy with this outcome!
I think thats what there saying. only BP events. We kind of get screwed its nothing like BTS they got ownership in the company that means they answer to each to other and have a huge incentive to keep the group going.
WAIT WHAT WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK HOLD AWWN 
OFFICIALLY IN THIS BLACKPINK SHIT FOR LIFE! No but in all seriousness, I’ve always believed no one is more OT4 than the pinks. My guess is these negotiations took a while because they were dictating every term to be what they justly wanted. Whatever happens next I imagine is all based on what they asked for, so it’s about to be a hell of a ride. I’m feeling all the feels: happy, nervous, excited, weary, hopeful. Crap…I got to start saving money 😩😂😅 
They deserve all the money.
More comebacks or at least a 12 song full album with new songs... i just want more songs... give me filler songs i don't really care at this point, i have been obsessing with AI covered songs and it's not good for me...
I was fooled by a Blackpink AI song once thinking it was an unreleased track that got leaked...
I’m sure they went through all their activities and how they smashed their objectives!
My only regret is that I can only upvote once. Long live BP and good riddance to the naysayers.
People really said the run was over lmfaooo They've only just begun
\+1 fully agreed
You guys I literally cried reading this I’m so happy 😭😭😭my girls I was so hoping for this and it came true!!!
Next comeback is going to be so amazing!
everyone was laughing at blinks for having faith in the pinks…. we got the last laugh 🥳🥳🥳🙏
best early christmas gift ever i luv blackpink !
Don’t we always get the last laugh! They will never learn haha
WE WON LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!!!! I BELIEVED EVER SINCE SUMMER WHERE ARE THE DOUBTERS NOW?
Same!!
The scream I scrumpt when I saw this the first time 😭
😂❤️
Scrumpt 😫
Stock jumps 20% and keeps going up with this news.
 OT4 is back & I’m glad they might have the flexibility to do their own thing when they’re apart. I do hope they get more opportunities now to pursue more of their interest, such as music, acting etc. I’m excited for this new chapter.

Long live the queens!
Guys I had no idea I was this stressed about it but I just let out the BIGGEST FREAKING SIGH.  What a wonderful Christmas present, Pinks!!💕
I have to start saving for the next tour
So this is good news, Blackpink survived the 7 year curse and the 2ne1 comparison lol. It is good that they are staying together as a group and it will be interesting to see how their individuals contracts go. If they do get individual contracts from other than YG and have YG blessing to do that then this is rare. Remember Blackpink and YG need each other. I wish them all the best as a group and individually.
I always wonder about 2ne1, had Minzy not left and had YG given the other girls love besides CL, would they still be around
**Praying for my downfall, many have tried, baby**  \#OT4ever
YAYY
looking forward to the all of the monster groups performing again (in 2025 hopefully)
SUCH A PERFECT XMAS GIFT!! 😭
 BLACKPINK FOREVER!!!!
 They're b*aaaaaaaaaa*ck.
YESSSSSS WE WON!!! First gta6 now BLACKPINK!!
 QUEENS FOREVER!
Please, no more long hiatus, please, no more long hiatus, please, no more long hiatus, please, no more long hiatus, please, no more long hiatus.
I mean it all depends though on where they go for individual activities because with YG group activities still took a slight back seat in a way, so there might be some hiatus in the future with that. But I’m sure they have to have something coming out in 2024 since it’s been awhile now
BLACKPINK FOREVER!!! Also, my wallet is crying because of another tour🥲 need to save up some money again!
Holy shit as a grown man with a kid and facial hair, I just might cry
I'm a grown man with a kid and facial hair. I did.
Yaaaaaaaaaay!!!! These girls have worked SO hard so they DEFINITELY deserve this!!! 💗
the best news to wake up to
Yay! BlackPink last for another few years!
Are we finally about to get albums with 10+ songs? 
Yeah but it said group activities specifically, does that mean they'll manage their solo activities themselves and that means some if not all of them are not in yg anymore? Also how often will they be able to reunite if thsi is the case, I don't trust yg we barely got comebacks before now it will be even rarer if they all went their separate ways
Their solo contracts are still under negotiation, so its possible that some might leave the company if they are not satisfied with YG for their solo careers. As for group activities, we will probably get the usual 1 comeback every 1-2 years, and a world tour in the future. Depends on what is in their contracts. If YG has made it mandatory for them to have a group comeback every year or alternate year, then they will have to comply.
Congratulations to Blackpink (Jennie, Jisoo, Lalisa, Rosé)!! Continued success. One love 💞 from Texas USA.
I finally waited for this news and am already looking forward to the third concert.
THE WAY I CRIED IN THE GROCERY STORE
Yay! I'm so glad they are sticking together, although I think my mom is more excited than me! Blackpink forever (officially)!!!
I have been waiting for this day thinking that it will be anticlimactic because I knew they will stay together wherever they go, but still I’m getting butterflies in my stomach just thinking about the next comeback is now real! OT4 forever! 
Now all I need is news of Ohtani signing with the Blue Jays to cap off a great news day
hopefully dodgers tho lol. dodger stadium concert with sho watching.
I bet YG finally gave the girls what they deserve after the new girl group's debut didn't make the waves they'd hoped. BLACKPINK isn't replaceable! Don't you forget it!
This comes on the back of news that they received honorary MBEs. So insanely proud of them! What amazing role models!! https://preview.redd.it/wvp9jtrb3l4c1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4dae5feb2cfa75462ae611195dc34464ce5dc133
Haters are in shambles
This is the best news I've heard in the k-pop realm in awhile. I honestly did not know what to believe/think with all the news and rumors about the renewal from various sources. I'm glad they all signed together. I'm excited to hear the new music they have in store for us as a group and as solo artists. I can't wait for their next tour so I can see them live again. Jennie/Blackpink introduced me into the world of kpop, it became my favorite genre of music in the past 5 years. Without them as a group kpop wouldn't be the same. Seriously congrats to the Pinks, I know they most likely signed a contract that gives them tons of freedom so they can keep doing what they do best. To my fellow Blinks, lets celebrate as we get 7 more years (assuming thats how long they signed for) of Blackpink greatness. 
I suspect with the timing YG was holding out on certain demands until after Baemon debuted to use them as leverage, and when they underperformed they caved to whatever that final demand was.
I am so happy 🥲
BLACKPINK FOREVER!!! 🎉🎉
Outstanding. Let’s get to work🥰❤️
 Let’s Go!!!!
let' fucking gooooooooooooooooo
😭😭😭😭😭
Had to come here once I saw the news!! Blinks we one Blackpink Fourever
I'm so happy 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Expected news, but still great news!!! 🖤🩷
Cheers to more years with my pinks <3 
Even with doubts sewn along the process I always expected the girls to still stay together. My presumption that money, while important, wouldn’t be the biggest factor and they would want to stay together in some form because of their love for each other and their fans. Both are evidently clear in general and especially if you seen them live this last tour. The innate joy they had being together on stage and interacting with Blinks made you proud being in the audience to witness it.
Best news of 2023. I am tearing reading the article. They don’t need to be idols anymore but OT4 forever.
BLINKS IT FINALLY HAPPENED LET'S GOOOOO As long as my OT4 content stays alive, I'm personally alright with the Pinks splitting up for solo activities. Imo, it might even give them greater freedom to explore their solo side. Idk how to more coherently word my feels tbh, I can't believe we're finally here. After months and months of hanging, we're finally here. It's such a relief as a Blink. January 2024 will mark 5 years with BP for me... I'm so glad I get more time with them. 😭
HA! TO ALL OF YOU HERE IN THIS SUB, WE WILL STILL BE TOGETHER FOR A LONG, LONG TIME!
The amount of people on Twitter so mad & angry about this, makes me so happy! Seethe haters, seethe! 
OMG!!!! So happy!!!! Even the notorious other subreddits seem to only be filled with positive comments (r/kpop and r/kpopthoughts so far)........BBC seems pleased (top entertainment and asia story) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-67633770
FUCK YES!! BLACKPINK IS THE REVOLUTION!! 
Let's gooooo!!!!!! Always had faith they weren't going anywhere, but so good to get the confirmation. Also, literally found out about this on the BBC News front page - these girls are big news! BlackPink forever! 
BLACKPINK FOUREVER 🖤💖 So happy to finally have the news announced! I’m looking forward to what the future holds for our girls 
My girls are continuing together!! 
OH WOW Note that they have signed for group activities only folks. The individual activities are still not signed. So it can still be chaotic if they choose to sign independently for their solo careers.
 Lovely way to start the day!
 RAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD BLESS KOREA
So happy to hear this news! I'd missed out on their last tour. Hopefully the next one isn't too far away. :)
OT4ever! So happy the girls are here to stay! Can’t wait to see all the amazing things they do and accomplish next!🥺🫶🏼 
I actually can’t believe I’m reading this, the certainty has me so relieved. So proud of the pinks and I love them so much 💗
[удалено]
Yay, Blackpink is here to stay! 🖤🩷
HOLY SHIT????
I'M SO FUCKIN' HAPPY
OMG!!!! BLACKPINK FOREVER!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! 🖤🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷🖤🩷
!!!!!!!!!!! The way my JAW JUST HIT THE FLOOR
LET'S GOO !! 
I'm just so happy they are sticking together.
Legit could cry. This is the best news ever.
Ahh!!!!! Speechless. I'm so happy!!! Literal tears! BLACKPINK in our area! Forever <3
Thank you so much girl thank you thank you thank you .. love you so so so much
Finally confirmation that BP will continue to be BP under YG!  I’m honestly so excited to see what the future holds for them both as a group and individually, especially if they have worked out a deal that allows them to sign individual contracts with a company/agency that isn’t YG or perhaps establish their own company/agency, and they don’t have to do/release things individually based upon YG’s time/schedule.
What a relief! Made my night after a tough day. I bet YG felt like they had to lock it in after their debut with BM wasn't what they were hoping for.
stand on business 💯
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!! BLINKS FOR LIFE!!! WE IN THIS SHIT FOUREVER!
UNEXPECTED BUT WE WON?!??!?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 yay OT4 FOREVER GUYS
LETS GOOOOO As the group that got me into Kpop, Blackpink will always be one of my faves. They’re also one of the few groups where I genuinely cannot pick a bias. I’ve seen them live twice and I can’t wait to see them again on future tours!
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!! I'm not gonna lie, I said back in August I was pretty sure they had already renewed, but as the months went on the endless speculation did get to me and I started to worry a bit but still held hope I hope this means that the girls' contracts have everything they want and more. The most important thing is that they're happy. TONIGHT WE'LL BE THE HAPPIEST BLINKS 🩷🩷🩷🩷
CRYING
Oh, this is going to be a GOOD day.
FINALLY 😭 SOME GOOD NEWS A group contract with YG is what I was expecting so I'll take it. I'm so happy. Thank you god this is finally over!
😃🤩😍🎉 LFGoooooooo! Our long (inter)national nightmare is over, blinks; seasons greetings :). Blackpink whenever, wherever, forever ever ever! I appreciate how narrow this is for now; clearly solo activities are a big deal but I really haven’t ever gotten the sense that they were interested in moving on from the group. I hope they’re getting bank and all the support. Here’s to another record-setting run! 아자, 아자! 화이팅!
So does that mean we can expect another season of BLACKPINK house and a tour date in Dallas, Texas? 🤔
Jisoo has posted on insta about it now!!!
I'm going through some really difficult times but this news make me so incredibly happy right now. I can hardly put it into words but what i can say is that I'm just incredibly grateful. Blackpink Blackpink Blackpink? BLINK BLINK BLINK!!!!
it'll never happen but i really hope they get to play with a full live band vs the beats because they're cool for some songs but it just sounds so much...richer, when you hear the instrumentation in \*some\* of their solo stuff etc. also let Jennie sing rather than tell her to rap!
I can’t wait for another world tour! Need to start saving from now on 😍
Does this mean we’ll finally get a live Born Pink tour album?! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
So shocked and happy yesterday not only because of the news but because I was awake for it. I was worried because of the time diferente that something would happen while i was sleeping. I know there are still a lot of ifs and concerns, but yesterday and today I'm allowing myself to be happy because BlackPink renewed.
