Shares of Okay-pop company YG Leisure tumbled nearly 9% on Friday after South Korean media reported that Blackpink member Lisa has rejected a contract renewal supply from the company.

On the time, South Korean media outlet Newsen reported that YG responded to queries by saying that contract renewal discussions had been underway, however outlet Munhwa Ilbo reported that “it’s identified that the distinction between the 2 sides is sort of massive.”
Blackpink — made up of members Jisoo, Jennie and Rosé, along with Lisa — has been one among YG’s most profitable Okay-pop teams.
The information comes as Blackpink wraps up its “Born Pink” world tour, in what has been described as the biggest world tour by a Okay-pop lady group, attracting an estimated 1.5 million individuals over 41 cities because it began in October 2022.

The four-member group debuted with YG in August 2016. As Okay-pop teams sometimes signal seven-year contracts, Blackpink’s contract was anticipated to run out in August, however the company has not confirmed any contract renewals with any of the members.
