The Historic Contract Renewal: A New Model for K-Pop Supergroups
The biggest question mark hanging over the K-pop industry in late 2023 was the fate of BLACKPINK's contract. The resolution, which was confirmed in December 2023, set a precedent for future K-pop supergroups. All four members—Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa—successfully renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment exclusively for group activities.
This means that while the BLACKPINK brand, music, and future world tours will remain under the YG umbrella, the members have gained complete autonomy over their individual solo careers. This split management structure allows the artists to pursue their personal creative visions without the constraints of a single agency, a move that has been widely celebrated by BLINKs and industry analysts alike.
The immediate result of this renewal was the confirmation of a major group comeback. YG Entertainment has officially announced that BLACKPINK is set to release a new album in November 2025, with the members already beginning the music video filming process. This highly-anticipated return ensures that the group will continue to deliver their signature high-quality music and stage performances globally.
Explosive Solo Endeavors: Jennie, Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo in 2025
The true excitement in 2025 lies in the members' independent solo projects, which are showcasing their artistic maturity and global reach outside of the group dynamic. Each member has taken definitive steps to establish her own unique path, turning the "solo era" into a global cultural moment.
Lisa’s Global Domination: LLOUD and 'Alter Ego'
Lisa, the group's Main Dancer and Maknae, has been particularly aggressive in her solo pursuits under her own label, LLOUD. Following the success of her 2024 single "Rockstar," she is set to drop a full new album titled "Alter Ego" in February 2025, which promises a fresh, genre-bending sound that fans believe was previously "held back" by her former agency. Her influence extends beyond music; she has been announced as part of the Host Committee for the prestigious 2026 Met Gala, solidifying her status as a global fashion and cultural icon. Furthermore, her performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show underscores her continued presence on major international stages.
Rosé’s Artistic Independence: WME and ‘rosie’
Rosé, the powerhouse Main Vocalist, has also made strategic moves to control her solo narrative. She signed a major deal with the renowned talent agency WME (William Morris Endeavor) for her solo career, signaling a serious push into the Western music market. Her first studio album, "rosie," has been a critical success, allowing her to explore a more raw and personal side of her artistry. This independence has given her the freedom to pursue a deeper, more emotional musical direction, separate from BLACKPINK's high-energy sound.
Jennie and Jisoo: New Labels and Creative Freedom
Jennie and Jisoo are also embracing their creative freedom. Jennie, who established her own label, ODDATELIER, is actively working on new music and projects, frequently teasing her solo endeavors to the public. Her work is expected to further cement her reputation as a trendsetter in both music and fashion. Jisoo, while continuing her highly successful acting career, is also reportedly preparing new solo music, having shared her work with the other BLACKPINK members for feedback, highlighting the group's continued, supportive bond.
The BLINK Perspective: Anticipation for the 2025 Comeback
The fandom, known as BLINK, views the 2025 group comeback as a monumental event. The separation of group and solo contracts has effectively eliminated the fear of disbandment while simultaneously maximizing the creative output of the members. This unique arrangement—where the four members are competing as solo artists while preparing to unite as the world's biggest girl group—has only intensified the global spotlight on them.
The group's continued relevance is underscored by their recent nominations, including 9 categories at the Asian Pop Music Awards 2025, proving their music continues to resonate with a massive audience. The expectation is that the new album, following a period of intense solo growth, will be their most mature and artistically diverse work yet, blending their individual experiences into a powerful, cohesive group sound. The BLACKPINK phenomenon in 2025 is a testament to their enduring friendship, business acumen, and unparalleled talent in the global K-pop industry.
