[The Fact｜Reporter Park Ji Yoon] The BlackPink group continues their group activities at YG Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as YG).
On the 6th, YG management company announced its official stance: "After careful discussion with Blackpink (Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, Lisa), we have signed an exclusive contract for activities of the group is based on deep trust".
With YG's support, Blackpink is expected to respond to the love of fans around the world by carrying out activities such as releasing a new album and holding a large-scale world tour.
YG general producer Yang Hyun Seok said: “We are happy to continue our relationship with Blackpink.” He added: "In the future, Blackpink will do our best to shine more brightly in the global music market as artists representing our company as well as K-POP. And we will continue to support and trust them on their path."
Blackpink debuted in 2016 and received a lot of love with many hit songs such as 'Boombayah', 'As If It's Your Last', 'DDU-DU DDU-DU' and 'Kill This Love'.
Blackpink became the first K-POP girl group to reach the double million sales mark and showed great influence when topping the US Billboard 200 chart. Additionally, they became the first Asian artist to headline Coachella and Hyde Park, and organized the largest world tour for a K-POP girl group, 'BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR 'BORN PINK' to meet fans around the world.
Because Blackpink has gone beyond Kpop and become a group representing the whole world, whether or not to renew the contract with YG has become a controversial issue among artists. After the exclusive contract expired last August, much news related to Blackpink's direction was released. Each time, YG sparingly said: "We are discussing."
YG and Blackpink later announced news of a surprising contract extension. Blackpink is attracting attention about what they will do in the future after signing a contract to renew their group activities with YG.
