Lisa of BLACKPINK is now on a globe tour with the other members Rose, Jennie, and Jisoo. Among these were rumours that Lisa may not renew her contract with YG, which was set to expire in August. According to a Chinese news agency, the contract is still being negotiated. Other members’ contract renewal discussions, according to reports, have gone more smoothly than Lisa’s. “We discussed Lisa’s appearance [on the show] while coordinating with YG and Lisa’s schedule,” the Chinese agency said anonymously to Munhwa Ilbo, “but it was explained [to us] that their contract renewal with Lisa is uncertain after August, so it is difficult to arrange scheduled activities.”
YG Entertainment responds to report claiming that #LISA was unable to book a future appearance due to the uncertainty of her contract renewal with the agency:

In reaction to the story, a YG Entertainment representative stated, “[The uncertain scheduling] is caused by the tour schedule in addition to her individually scheduled activities.” The news has nothing to do with Lisa’s contract renewal. According to YG, “contract renewals are currently being discussed.” Lisa is one of the most sought-after K-pop stars in the world. Her solo tracks have been a huge success, making her the first female K-pop singer to shatter international records. Lisa was the third member of BLACKPINK to debut solo material, with her song ‘LaLisa’ being released in late 2021. Recently, she was linked to TAG Heuer CEO, Frederic Arnault, in a dating headline. Lisa had previously been linked to Taeyong of NCT 127. Those rumours, however, were deemed ‘baseless’ by their respective agencies.
It is Uncertain Whether Lisa Of BLACKPINK Will Renew Her Contract With YG Entertainment
Lisa of BLACKPINK will not be renewing her contract with YG Entertainment? According to rumours, the Money rapper and her current company are at odds over contract renewal negotiations. As per a South Korean media site, Chinese sources have warned that Lisa’s contract with YG Entertainment may not be renewed. According to the source, they had been discussing the idea of Lisa coming on their show with Lisa and YG Entertainment but were warned by the label that contract renewal uncertainties made it challenging to discuss scheduling beyond August. According to the article, YG Entertainment’s contract renewal negotiations with Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé went well, with insiders indicating that both the members and their label agreed to specific terms in order to prolong their contracts.

However, Blackpink’s company was eager to clear up the Lisa rumours. While they did not provide an update on the rapper’s contract renewal, they did explain that the request from the Chinese show had nothing to do with the contract renewal problem. “The erratic scheduling is due to both the tour schedule and her individually scheduled activities.” “It has nothing to do with contract renewals,” YG Entertainment remarked, before stating that “Contract renewals are currently being discussed.” After YG Entertainment publishes the state of each member’s contract, Blackpink’s future endeavours will be determined. Lisa has been booked and quite busy! Not only is she touring the world for Blackpink’s Born Pink World Tour, but she also released Shoong!, her collaborative single alongside BIGBANG’s Taeyang, on April 25 of this year. She is also in high demand in the fashion business!
