the power their currently hold over that company is INSANE. They could literally ask for ANYTHING and YG would gladly throw it at them. 

 

 

Except new music and creative freedom.

[Polgg48]

gotta be little mix syndrome after disbandment if true and all the blames will go to lisa following the baddie senior jesy nelson. imo it's history repeat itself on 2ne1 thing again, that way babymonster will get everything and become success but what's cost? 

 

personally, i dont see anyone in group make solo music career out of these, except... announce their bts hiatus  and blinks can continue support them

Money by Lisa is literally coming for 1 billion streams on Spotify and if YG had even tried to do anything to push the song it could've have been a global smash hit.

The self-sabotage that YG been doing ever since BP debut for not knowledging their popularity and demand need to be taught in gender and economic studies

 

They should've been lucky that BP's fashion gigs pay all of their electrical bills for their new building

Ive been saying for the longest BP would WASH BTS if they were just given the same level of opportunity and musical output

 

Theyd be raking in Hot 100 Top 10s now too

They currently have US tour dates to happen after the end of their contract. 

The US tour dates are most likely leftover obligations they still have to fulfill. These obligations to perform couldve been perfected before the expiry date of their contract and still need to be performed post-expiry.

 

This doesnt 100% indicate or mean theyll renew.

 

Though thats the law in most international obligations and contracts classes (not sure in korea)

[MonsterNavy]

its what YGly deserves for giving them comebacks after 25 years. imagine being a 7 year old group and only having 31 songs including features

 

I already said this on the kpop thread, they should renew their contract as a group in YG since they comeback every 1.5 years anyways but find bigger and better  western labels as soloists. they will be wasting their time, money and energy at YG being soloists since YG's shitty misogynistic ass can never handle his girl groups let alone female soloists

 

huge western labels and western producers are gonna come begging for the girls (jack antonoff and pharrell already are begging for blackpink collabs)

[MonsterNavy]

this is like the biggest contract renewal event like ever  i've never seen everyone being so invested in a contract renewal before

 

whatever the girls' decision is, the mess will be huge news all over the world

probably bigger than taylor even bc it was clear taylor was leaving after the big machine mess (and republic was already her international distributor so it made sense)

 

lisa better sign to a us label STAT (not RCA tho)

we need Lisa, Jennie or Rosé in columbia and get that Flower/As It Was sized smash hit!

 

Jisoo might be more into acting in kdramas so I hope she gets the best acting label in korea

the kpop industry will crumble if they disband. Imagine if HYBE poaches them.  the meltdowns would be iconic.

YG needs to break their bank to keep this group intact.  Looks like Lisa's huge Chinese offers is what's making the negotiations messy. 

unless you know that for a fact why do you say so?

The thing that bothers me about the current press circus around this is that is that YG's press team is constantly talking about how they'll do anything to get the girls to renew but if that was actually the case, they would have reached an amicable agreement months ago. This is clearly an attempt by YG to turn Black Pink's toxic fanbase against the group itself as leverage to accept a sub-par renewal contract. No fan of Black Pink should be pressuring those girls into sticking with a company that's done them dirty since day 1.

 

YG needs to accept that Black Pink is the last successful idol group that company has and that all the bargaining power is in their hands or YG is going to dissolve as a company within the next 5 years.

i',m confused didn't the girls leave and sign to the same label as jeon somi? yeah this company doesn't give a ****. baby monster is a non factor. this is their karma for their treatment of 2NE1.if the fanbase is smart regardless of the outcome will support the girls. if i were the girls i'd transfer on over to interscope completely. give us 2 more albums. one more comeback for each member. then they can do their separate ways. a decade of blackpink is necessary.

Rosé - fail a singer-songwriter career but succeed in the fashion scene with her own line

 

the way they weaponize baemon as a negotiation tool... remember when they rush announced them when bp was rumored to have signed with the black label

i can see jennie going the current riri route. the passive agression towards jisoo with the whatever was unecessary as well as the shade towards calling rose a failed singer songwriter. all girls have the capacity the succeed in whatever lane that they choose

There's zero reason other than sentimental for them to remain at YG.

sentiment rooted in neglect and mismanagement is no sentiment they should want to be abide by. has it crossed anyone's mind that maybe their scared that if they walkaway they can get blacklisted in asian markets like what's currently happening with fifty fifty?

12 hours ago, LustSpell said:

I mean, stop letting them have 1 comeback every 2-3 ******* years and actually focus on them and maybe you wouldn't have been in this situation. If they had the BTS treatment of throwing music out every three seconds with the rabid fanbase they have... They'd be unstoppable. Though I hope they don't break up though cause I wanted to see them in concert at least once :/

yeah it doesn't make sense at all till this day how they had the asian spice girls/destinys child/little mix in the palm of their hands and fumbled it !!!

12 hours ago, Asscatchem said:

does blackpink themselves even want more than 1 comeback every 2-3 years?

 

 

let jennie bag her billion as a beauty/skincare empress a la riri without being forced to perform with her health issues ever again!

a jennie ruby jane skincare line would sell so well considering the goodwill korean skincare has already

what health issues does jennie have again? lol because being lazy doesn't count

12 hours ago, Selegend said:

yeah like they currently have a contract with YG and Interscope.

Can't they be just a Interscope girlband? no shade but why do they need a korean company if they're global for so long. 

and interscope has a bunch of artists that have been vocal about wanting to work with the girls like camila cabello, dj snake, olivia rodrigo, zedd. they also have other people on their roster that would magic with the girls like carly rae jepsen, cashmere cat,  gryffin and gwen stefani

Literally look at what YG done to CL, promised her a solo album and proper management to become a superstar only to literally ban her from making music. If these girls are smart, they would dip. 

she was done so dirty. they shelved her during prime. the fact that she could've been our first proper global main asian pop girl but they ruined that for her and us will always be wild to me

Anyone who wants to keep them as a group, including YG, has to compete with that $100M Chinese offer to Lisa though.. It's either go broke keeping them as a group or disband for them, I fear. 

wtf is china offering lisa that much money and for what ?? i don't see lisa leaving. these girls actually like each other unlike fifth harmony

12 hours ago, WeFoundWill said:

Something shifted in 2020/2021, based on the fact that Jennie wasnt allowed to do Duas podcast back in 2019 alone bc she was told that she‘s in "kpop jail".

yeah wtf is up with them. it'd be one thing if these girls and the output were flopping but that's far been from the case. as a business you would think they'd know better to capitalize off them properly. the fact that we were cheated out the girls working with the likes of dj snake, zedd, mark ronson, steve aoki, tiesto, diplo for whatever reason is wild. when people want to work with them (ozuna, karol g, zayn, dua lipa, katy perry) and the feeling is mutual from the girls and yg blocked it from happening like for what? what do you get out of that? what is the point of signing these people on for? all those years of training to be kept in a cage. it doesn't make sense.

12 hours ago, Century said:

Name ownership has been brought to court several times in Korea with mixed results. A huge name like BP could force a real legal precedent to be set, and it could be a massive loss for all Korean agencies if BP wins. Ownership of the name implies some level of ownership of the actual brand too.

 

YG doesn't want this and would most likely relinquish the group name if they wanted to stick together outside of YGent. YG hasn't forced anybody to leave their name behind with the company for this reason.

well then korean agencies need to do and treat their idols better if they don't want these kind of issues. yg needs to win the award for biggest idiot ever

they need to move on from YG at this point. fight for the name, sign good distribution deals with a big US label and keep working on the brand. they're already immensely popular.

 

also we all know Teddy's sound is TIRED. we don't meed more of him.

again them fully signing to interscope would be best. and agreed. i love teddy but enough is enough. they need to work with other producers.

If they can't walk away from YG with the BlackPink name, they should just disband. Also, if it's true Lisa has a $100M deal with China, it's a no brainer. With Jennie doing more solo appearances these days, it seems like it's time for them to disband, at least temporarily. 

if it gets to that point i hope somehow it leaks that their holding the brand hostage to keep the girls prisoners. for political and long term reasons as good as the money is that china deal can actually be more counter productive then good for lisa. and of course jennie is doing more solo appearances she had a tv show to promote that has nothing to do with the girls

Not if YG wants to stay in business, they will keep their assets and marks until the grave.

I mean, consider the backstabbing that went on with 2NE1, this label has 0 loyalty to their flagship artists.

well considering that they dont want to go bankrupt and dissolve as a company they also may compromise or cut their losses

9 hours ago, Happylittlepunk said:

Blackpink should move on from YG. There is no guarantee that the label will offer then more creative freedom and more solo project opportunities. A US label backing will guarantee them an English debut album and proper marketing internationally. Not to mention that can still create Korean album if they please. 

i mean if they negotiate properly and have ironclad contracts so that they wont get screwed in yg thats another thing. but yeah leaving altogether with their names is more than enough and what they deserve

you saying this as lauren is currently struggling? i saw them the last year and they did just fine. these girls are working their asses of and are human. let them be. also we don't know what goes on behind the scenes for you to assume that the girls are over being a group. chances are that they're in fact over yg as a company and their management. not each other.

[CatButtFace]

I feel like you can just SEE they're over it and have been for a long time, and I totally do not blame them one bit. They've been creatively strangled for 7 years - I'd like them to sign under another label that will give them more freedom and actually let them work collaboratively with their producers and, yknow, get credit for their work, but I also understand why they may not feel like doing that. But yeah, I agree they've got the label over a barrel on this one, any contract they might sign with YG is going to be radically different from the first one. If they don't re-sign and the label tanks because of it - good. itswhatshedeserves.gif
