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.

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.
Other members of the group have launched their own labels Jennie launched ODD ATELIER, Lisa has established LLOUD, and Jisoo, along with her brother, has created BLISSOO.
