On September 21, a media outlet reported that Rosé had renewed her contract with YG Entertainment, while Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa were considering moving to other agencies. However, the renewal status of BLACKPINK's contract has not been finalized, and discussions are ongoing. YG Entertainment clarified to meida that "nothing has been confirmed, and discussions are still in progress."
