- In the official statement, they emphasized that there will be group albums and world tours in the future!
- They really emphasized ‘group activities’ in the contract renewal.
- New BLACKPINK album and a world tour~~~ I’m really happy.
- Whether the members sign with another company or not, I’m just happy that a new album is coming out, and the group’s contract renewal is confirmed.
- It seems like they’ve only agreed to continue group activities. They will release songs as a group every few years LOL.”
- Some ajumma fans of another group might be shedding tears
- According to the article, it looks like their individual contract renewals fell through, and they just agreed to continue group activities
