On October 16th, a captivating photo surfaced on a French BLACKPINK fan page account, revealing Rosé engaged in discussions with Ron Perry, the Chief Executive Officer of Columbia Records, a major player in the American music industry.
Columbia Records, a prominent subsidiary of Sony Music, boasts a roster of distinguished artists, including Adele, Beyoncé, Calvin Harris, and Harry Styles.
Responding to the viral image, the American Hallyu media outlet, allKpop, reported that local netizens are eagerly anticipating the prospect of Rosé‘s solo album and potential collaborations with artists under Columbia Records.
The report also highlighted the buzz surrounding a possible encounter between Rosé and global icon Beyoncé, fueled by Rosé’s past attendance at one of Beyoncé’s exclusive parties.
This marks the first instance of rumors swirling around Rosé considering a departure from BLACKPINK.
The group effectively concluded their contract with YG Entertainment following the culmination of their world tour ‘Born Pink’ in August.
While YG Entertainment maintains a veil of secrecy, rumors have circulated about members Jennie and Jisoo establishing their own individual agencies, with Lisa reportedly fielding offers from overseas.
As the K-pop world eagerly awaits official statements from the involved parties, the industry remains on edge, anticipating the potential new chapter in Rosé‘s career and the unfolding future of BLACKPINK.
