As BLACKPINK’s world tour nears its end, speculation about their contract renewal has hit a fever pitch with a viral X post claiming they will not re-sign.
The speculation began on September 10th, when a K-pop news account on X (formerly Twitter) posted, “BLACKPINK will not renew their contract with YG Entertainment after the tour,” without citing any official sources or providing evidence to support the claim.

The post quickly gained attention and divided fans. Many dismissed it as a baseless rumor from an unverified source, while others expressed mixed emotions. Some fans, frustrated with what they see as YG’s lack of investment in the group, said they would support the members if they moved to a new agency. Others voiced concern that such a change could make it difficult to see all four members perform together again.
The post has already gained nearly 500,000 views, but an official statement from YG Entertainment or BLACKPINK has yet to be released. As contract renewals are a notoriously tense period in K-pop, the industry now waits to see if the agency will formally address the growing speculation.
