BLACKPINK has officially extended its contract with K-pop company YG Entertainment, dispelling rumors about the group’s rumored disbandment.

The agency’s announcement on December 6 marks the continuation of BLACKPINK’s journey under their debut label.

The statement from YG Entertainment, known for managing groups like BigBang and BABYMONSTER, states, “We are pleased to announce that our board of directors has successfully come to an agreement on the signing of exclusive group contracts for all four members of BLACKPINK, our talented artists.”

The label also expressed confidence in BLACKPINK’s future, stating, “BLACKPINK will continue to do its best to shine more brightly in the world music market as an artist representing K-POP, and we will continue to give their unwavering support and faith in their actions.”
