On the other hand, the controversies that have surrounded Lisa recently and the fact that her manager abroad – Alice Kang’s contract with YG has ended, have raised even more suspicions that the youngest member of BLACKPINK will not re-sign. If Lisa is the only member who does not renew her contract, BLACKPINK’s future activities will certainly face many difficulties.

Will BLACKPINK replace members or only work as a group of 3?

Replacing members when someone leaves the group is no longer a rare thing in the Kpop market . It can be said that the group EXID once had 3 members leave the group, Yuji, Dami, Haeryung and then two members Solji and Hyerin were added to the group to complete the 5-member lineup.

Or the group Girl’s Day initially debuted with 5 members but Jisun and Jiin left the group not long after. Therefore, two girls Hyeri and Yura were added to the group to replace these members.

If Lisa does not re-sign the contract, YG will likely have a solution to replace members to keep the heat of the BLACKPINK brand. Especially when this is the only group at the present time that can revive and “make money” for YG.

If this option is not chosen and still maintains the BLACKPINK brand, the group will likely only operate with 3 members: Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé. In fact, this case also happens a lot in Kpop when someone does not re-sign, the group still maintains the same number of members and continues to operate.

If Lisa does not renew the contract, YG may replace the member to preserve the BLACKPINK brand

The scenario is similar to BIGBANG: The group still has the name but it’s difficult to make a comeback, the members work solo

In case Lisa does not renew the contract and leaves the management company YG but the group does not announce disbandment, BLACKPINK will likely face a scenario quite similar to their seniors from the same company – BIGBANG. For fans, BIGBANG will always be a legend that will never disband, but many people also have to accept the fact that it is very difficult to see all the members reunite and stand on the same stage.

With BLACKPINK, if some stay, some leave YG and promote solo activities, fans can still hope that one day in the near future they will be able to see all 4 girls reunite on stage. However, if the scenario is similar to BIGBANG, fans will likely have to wait a long time to witness this moment.

As long as one member does not re-sign, it will take a long time for BLACKPINK to have 4 people standing on the same stage.

Same scenario as 2NE1: Members work solo, BLACKPINK brand can still be used but must be approved by YG

Previously, Korean media also reported that if the members do not re-sign the contract, the BLACKPINK brand will not be used. This will be similar to the case of 2NE1 because after terminating the contract, the members still have the right to use the group name but must get YG’s consent.

Experts in Korea predict this is the most likely case if BLACKPINK members – some continue to re-sign, some leave the company, some establish their own company but still want to work. as BLACKPINK.

Therefore, if Lisa leaves the company and the other members also have their own paths, the BLACKPINK brand needs to be authorized by YG to be used.

The 4 members work solo and still maintain group activities but must receive YG’s approval to use the BLACKPINK brand.

BLACKPINK will disband: Not only Lisa but also the other 3 members will not re-sign?

This is probably the worst case scenario and what fans do not want the most. Before the contract expired, the global BLACKPINK fandom had been “sitting on fire” for nearly a year as there were continuous suspicions and rumors surrounding the members leaving the company.

Many sources say that the 4 BLACKPINK members are no longer interested in renewing their contract with YG. Meanwhile, there are many lucrative contracts waiting for 4 girls to agree. Even though we know that no matter what Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa decide, fans will still support them, but BLACKPINK’s disbandment will be something that no one expects to happen.

What fans fear the most is BLACKPINK announcing their disbandment

After all, fans are looking forward to the “miracle” of all four members re-signing

On the afternoon of November 14, YG announced its third quarter report with a list of artists under the company. Only BLACKPINK has a note: ” The exclusive contract with artist BLACKPINK is being negotiated to extend and the final results will be announced after the third quarter report”.

Thus, there has been no official answer from YG as to whether BLACKPINK will re-sign or not. It can be seen that YG is in a deadlock as it prolongs the time to discuss and announce the contract with BLACKPINK.

This is also completely understandable because Korean stock experts also affirm that, despite the debut of Baby Monster, only BLACKPINK can do it at the present time to revive YG’s stock situation. If YG succeeds in convincing all 4 girls to re-sign the contract, this will truly be a “miracle” for all BLACKPINK fans. Surely no matter the result, the BLINK community will still will always support and follow every step of the 4 girls on their upcoming journey.
