Speculations have arisen from China and Malaysia suggesting that BLACKPINK's Jennie might leave YG Entertainment, while Rosé is expected to continue with the company.

These rumors gained traction when a prominent account on the Chinese social media platform Weibo shared the news that Jennie might not renew her contract with YG Entertainment.

The fate of the other members' contracts is said to be addressed after BLACKPINK's ongoing world tour concludes. This rumor quickly became a hot topic in China, garnering nearly 2 million posts and over 140 million views on Weibo.

In addition to the Jennie rumors, a Malaysian media outlet claimed that Rosé would be the only BLACKPINK member to renew her contract with YG. The article mentioned that Jisoo is unlikely to renew and is currently searching for a new management company, while Lisa is still in negotiations with YG.

Although international fans are buzzing with these rumors, South Korean media outlets have not provided any official information regarding the renewal of BLACKPINK's contracts with YG Entertainment. Furthermore, despite the rumors spreading rapidly, YG and the Korean media have not issued any responses.

However, on July 8th, Insight, a South Korean news site, reiterated that BLACKPINK's contracts will expire in August and shared analyses from various experts.

Nonghyup Investment & Securities stated that there is no need for a negative reaction regarding contract renewal and emphasized that the process is expected to proceed smoothly.

They urged fans to dispel excessive concerns. In February, another securities company, Hana, also provided analysis suggesting that if BLACKPINK's contract renewal is successful, it could positively impact the stock price.

As of now, South Korean media has not provided any definitive information regarding whether the BLACKPINK members will renew their contracts with YG Entertainment.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
