The contract status of Lisa and BLACKPINK as a whole has once again become a topic of discussion among fans.
Recently, fans discovered that Alice Kang, a close manager of Lisa, had updated her profile on the job-centric platform LinkedIn, stating that she had stopped working with YG Entertainment since October 2023.
This discovery has led many fans to worry that BLACKPINK‘s contract with YG Entertainment has ended, as there have been no updates or announcements regarding the renewal status. The departure of the manager has also raised speculation about Lisa‘s future with the group, especially considering their close relationship.
Some fans believe that the absence of an official statement about contract renewals, similar to what was done for other groups like BTS, SEVENTEEN, and TWICE, indicates that BLACKPINK‘s contracts have not been renewed.
However, there are also fans who argue that Alice Kang, along with other female managers of BLACKPINK, were specifically hired for the group’s world tour and Coachella performance.
It is believed that the main managers of BLACKPINK are all male, and as long as they are still present, there is no reason to believe that BLACKPINK has left the agency.
Despite the speculation and concern from fans, YG Entertainment has remained silent on the matter, further deepening the suspicions surrounding BLACKPINK‘s contract status. The lack of updates or clarifications from the agency has left fans eagerly awaiting news about the future of BLACKPINK.
