Netizens were abuzz with reactions following YG's update on the ongoing contract discussions with BLACKPINK.

In a recent announcement, YG dismissed rumors that most BLACKPINK members would not be renewing their contracts.

They clarified that negotiations were still underway and that the official reveal would be in documents for investors.

Many netizens shared their thoughts on YG's statement. Some speculated that YG might be delaying the announcement of BLACKPINK's contract status until the debut of BABYMONSTER, a new group.

Comments from netizens suggested that BLACKPINK members may have switched to THEBLACKLABEL, where Teddy, a producer, is affiliated with.

There were also comments questioning YG's business tactics and whether the negotiations were taking longer due to BABYMONSTER's debut being a factor.

Some netizens even expressed the belief that the negotiations may have fallen through, citing the prolonged duration.

It's unclear if some members of BLACKPINK have joined Teddy's label, but netizens were actively discussing the possibilities with YG's announcement.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
