YG Entertainment (hereafter YG) has made an announcement regarding the re-contracting of BLACKPINK.

The decision on whether or not Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo will renew their contracts will be disclosed at a later date.

The quarterly report released by YG on November 14th stated that negotiations for a new exclusive contract with the artists are currently underway.

The final results of these negotiations will be revealed through subsequent disclosures of key management matters related to investment decisions.

This marks YG's official statement on the re-contracting negotiations with BLACKPINK which have been ongoing for approximately two months.

The group, which debuted in August 2016, has been engaged in these negotiations with YG since August of this year, as their seven-year exclusive contract is set to expire. Speculations have arisen within certain circles that three members of BLACKPINK (Lisa, Jennie, and Jisoo) have decided not to renew their contracts with YG.

There have also been rumors suggesting that Jennie and Jisoo plan to establish their own one-person agencies. However, YG officially stated to Newsen on September 25th that no confirmed decision has been made regarding the re-contracting of BLACKPINK and their future activities. YG Entertainment not only represents BLACKPINK but also other notable artists such as AKMU, WINNER, SECHSKIES, JINU, TREASURE, BABY MONSTER, and various actors and actresses including Kim Hee-ae, Seo Jung-yeon, Son Na-eun, Yoo Seung-ho, Yoo In-na, Lee Sung-kyung, Lee Soo-hyuk, Lee Ho-jung, Jang Ki-yong, Jang Hyun-sung, Jung Hye-young, Cha Seung-won, Jin Kyung, Choi Ji-woo, Han Seung-yeon, and model Joo Woo-jae.

Jo Jung Suk is officially back—and fans of Hospital Playlist couldn’t be more excited.

In the preview for episode 10 of Resident Playbook, aired by tvN on May 10, Jo Jung Suk’s character Lee Ik Jun is shown walking through a dimly lit hospital, saying, “It’s been so long since I came here.”

The short scene sparked immediate buzz online, especially when he’s seen holding hands with a woman—whose face is hidden. Many viewers are now asking: Is it Chae Song Hwa?

Although her identity isn’t revealed, fans are hopeful that the woman is Jeon Mi Do, who played Chae Song Hwa in Hospital Playlist.

Earlier announcements confirmed that both Jo Jung Suk and Jeon Mi Do would make appearances in Resident Playbook, fueling speculation that the beloved duo is finally reuniting on screen.

The teaser quickly became a hot topic, helping the drama maintain its upward momentum. Resident Playbook—a spin-off of the hit series Hospital Playlist—has been gaining strong viewership, with its latest episode setting new personal ratings records.

The show has consistently ranked No. 1 in its time slot across all channels, showing that fans are deeply invested in the lives and growth of the young doctors at the center of the story.

As the series continues to mix heartwarming guest appearances with its own emotional stories, viewers are now eagerly waiting for episode 10, airing May 11 at 9:20 PM KST, to see what’s next.
