She is the most likely YG Entertainment artist to leave.

Lisa of BLACKPINK and YG Entertainment are said to have very different ideas about how to continue their contract.

A report from Munhwa Ilbo says that Lisa and YG Entertainment are talking about renewing their contracts.

Lisa's deal with YG Entertainment runs out in August 2023. But no deal has been made yet because the two sides have very different needs and wants.

Chinese sources also suggested to Munhwa Ilbo that Lisa's contract with YG Entertainment might not be renewed.

"We've been talking to Lisa and YG Entertainment to see if she can be on our show, but they've told us it's hard to talk about schedules after August because contract renewals are uncertain." — Source from China for Munhwa Ilbo

When Munhwa Ilbo asked YG Entertainment to speak on what the Chinese source said, the company did. Even though they didn't give a clear report on Lisa's contract renewal, they did say that the Chinese show's request had nothing to do with the renewal.

"It has nothing to do with her contract; it has to do with [BLACKPINK's] tour and her own plans."— YG Entertainment

YG Entertainment also gave Xportnews a simple comment about the renewal of BLACKPINK's contracts.

"We are in talks [with all members] about renewing contracts." — YG Entertainment

Munhwa Ilbo has also said that YG Entertainment's talks with Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé to renew their contracts are going well, with sources saying that both the members and YG Entertainment have given in on some points in order to reach an agreement.

After YG Entertainment announces the state of each member's contract with the company, the direction of BLACKPINK's future plans should be clear.

BTS’s Jimin is once again proving his global dominance, especially in Japan, where his solo music continues to break records!

Jimin's hit song "Who", from his second album MUSE, has just been awarded the prestigious Gold streaming certification from the Japan Record Association (RIAJ).

This honor comes after "Who" surpassed a remarkable 50 million streams in February, making it the first solo song by Jimin to receive this certification in Japan!

The Japan Record Association certifies music based on total streams, with Gold for 50 million streams, Platinum for 100 million, and Diamond for a massive 500 million.

This achievement adds another significant milestone to Jimin’s growing solo career.

Previously, Jimin also earned a Platinum certification for his first album FACE (for 250,000 units shipped) and a Gold certification for MUSE (for over 100,000 units shipped).

With the Gold streaming certification for "Who", Jimin now holds a total of three prestigious certifications from the Japan Record Association, solidifying his place as a solo artist.

Not only that, but "Who" made waves on the Billboard charts, staying on the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 33 weeks, setting a record for the longest-charting K-pop solo song! It also spent 32 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, showing just how much love fans have for his music.

Jimin’s solo success doesn’t stop there, as GOLDEN also spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart, and Jimin continues to dominate the Billboard Japan Artist 100, where he has now charted for 47 weeks! Clearly, Jimin’s popularity is unstoppable!
