YG Entertainment Shares BLACKPINK’s Lisa Is Still In Talks For Contract Renewal

Sep 15, 2023

YG Entertainment has shared a brief statement regarding BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s contract renewal discussions.

Back in July, an anonymous Chinese agency reportedly claimed that they had encountered scheduling difficulties for Lisa’s appearance on a show because Lisa’s contract renewal with YG was uncertain. YG Entertainment has since explained that the difficulties were due to BLACKPINK’s tour and Lisa’s individual activities, emphasizing that contract renewals were still under discussion.

However, despite YG’s clarification, recent speculations continued to circulate, suggesting that Lisa had received substantial contract offers from other agencies and declined YG Entertainment’s proposal.

On September 15, YG Entertainment reiterated, “Lisa’s contract renewal is currently under discussion. There is nothing in those rumors that has been confirmed.”

For the past 11 months, BLACKPINK has been selling out concerts for their “BORN PINK” world tour in 34 cities of 24 regions. The grand finale, titled “BORN PINK Finale in Seoul,” is scheduled for September 16 and 17 at Gocheok Sky Dome, Korea’s largest indoor concert venue capable of hosting up to 20,000 attendees. Notably, BLACKPINK is the first female K-pop artist to hold a concert at the venue.
