The news that BLACKPINK members introduced their company one after another made people stir. Netizens were surprised to discover that the members’ release date accidentally coincided with the order of their debut 7 years ago.
BLACKPINK debuted in 2016 and in 2023, the group’s contract with YG Entertainment expires. Throughout 2023, the BLINKS community was “sitting on fire” because of BLACKPINK’s contract status with YG.
After a long period of negotiations, in the end, the 4 BLACKPINK members only maintained group activities at YG Entertainment, and remained independent in their individual activities. This was the beginning of the “separate and together” way of working.
More specifically, on June 1, 2016, YG announced Jennie as the first member of BLACKPINK. She joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in 2010 after returning to Korea from New Zealand.
On June 8, 2016, YG continued to release images of Lisa as the second member of the group BLACKPINK. Lisa is also the mysterious g.irl who impressed fans in the video Who’s That G.irl? that YG posted on YouTube in 2012.
On June 15, 2016, YG revealed the third member is Jisoo. She joined YG Entertainment as a trainee in July 2011.
Rosé was the last member to be revealed on June 22, 2016. She placed first among 700 candidates in YG Entertainment’s 2012 audition in Australia, after which she signed a contract with the company and moved to Seoul in April and began her trainee period.
The coincidence in time makes fans think that BLACKPINK actually “discussed” with each other about when to announce their own company. So up to now, only Rosé is the only member still hiding her own “landing”.
According to many sources, it is likely that in the last week of February or the first week of March, Rosé will be the last member to announce her own company. Previously, Korean media also revealed that the “Australian rose” will soon announce her own company like the other 3 members of BLACKPINK.
On her birthday, February 11, Rosé briefly released her self-composed song ‘Vampirehollie’ through her account. The female idol surprised everyone when she released a self-composed song.
Not stopping there, Rosé also asked fans to name the fandom. This further confirms the possibility that Rosé will soon make a comeback as an independent artist in 2024. In addition, the image of Rosé in the studio also makes fans expect that a solo album will soon be released this year. .
Previously, a YG official shared with News 1: “It is expected that it will be difficult to see all BLACKPINK members return this year. Because we have just finished our official activities as As a complete group, I understand that all members have a strong desire to take on new challenges.”
He added: “However, because the members are aware of fans’ expectations for the BLACKPINK group with a full lineup, discussions on this issue will take place periodically.”
