Reports suggest that BLACKPINK’s Rose is in discussions to sign a contract with YG entertainments subsidiary label The Black Label, a south Korean record founded by producer Teddy Park and Kush in the year 2015.

While BLACKPINK continues to operate under YG as a group, all four members—Jennie, Rosé, Lisa, and Jisoo—have concluded their individual contracts with the agency. The Black Label serves as the artistic home for a diverse array of talents, including renowned artists such as Taeyang, Zion.T, and Jeon Somi, as well as actors Park Bo-gum and Lee Jong-won

BLACK LABEL RESPONDS TO ROSE JOINING THE AGENCY

In response to the report the agency rolled out a brief statement saying, “We are currently discussing signing an exclusive contract with Rose”

Formerly possessing a 45% controlling interest in The Black Label, YG Entertainment has notably decreased its ownership stake to just 21%. In June 2023, the board of directors at The Black Label authorized the relocation of its headquarters to the Hannam W Office, a decision viewed as a pivotal strategic move. This relocation is widely perceived as a clear indication of the firm’s intention to fully sever ties with its parent company.
