Fans are becoming increasingly anxious about the future of seeing popular girl groups BLACKPINK and Red Velvet members performing together next year as both groups’ contract renewals remain uncertain, with their respective agencies maintaining silence Red Velvet, which celebrated their 9th debut anniversary this year, has not confirmed their contract renewal news, causing global fans to feel tense.

Among the members, only Seulgi’s renewal with SM entertainment (SM) has been reported, while there is no news about the rest of the members. Despite inquiries, the agency has not revealed its stance.

In this situation, one media outlet reported that leader Irene does not renew her contract, leading to speculation about whether Red Velvet can maintain the complete lineup.

Recently, Red Velvet changed their official social media account name from “Red Velvet Official” to “Happy Ending” and deleted all highlight video clips. SM explained that this change was made to match the concept of Red Velvet’s new album and that “HAPPY ENDING” is a part of the lyrics.

However, SM remained tight-lipped about the “members’ contract renewals” and “Red Velvet’s future activities”. BLACKPINK is also under intense scrutiny regarding their contract renewal. Discussions about the members’ contract renewal have been ongoing for about 4 months.

As they enter the “7-year mark”, various speculations have emerged, from members Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo’s transfer rumors, to the establishment of solo management companies for Jennie and Jisoo.

However, despite the members’ exclusive contracts having expired in August, YG Entertainment continues to maintain that there is no confirmed decision, only saying, “There is no confirmed decision yet, and discussions are ongoing.“

Currently, BLACKPINK members are actively engaged in various activities, despite their exclusive contracts having expired. Jennie made a solo comeback in October, Lisa made a bold move by appearing on the adult show “Crazy House”, Jisoo confirmed her appearance in the film “Omniscient Reader”, and Rosé will release her “2024 Season’s Greetings”.

In this context, fans are eagerly waiting to see whether they will continue to witness the full-fledged activities of these two representative K-pop girl groups.
