Amid various speculations, ahead of BLACKPINK’s Seoul Encore concert, there are positive clues regarding BLACKPINK’s contract renewal with YG.
As BLACKPINK celebrates their 7th debut anniversary this year, attention continues to focus on whether all four members will renew their contracts with YG.
On August 8th, BLACKPINK’s 7th anniversary, the members expressed their wish to continue together, saying “BLACKPINK Forever.” While there hasn’t been an official announcement from YG regarding a ‘full contract renewal,’ such messages from BLACKPINK members have instilled confidence in the fans.
Notably, throughout the world tour ‘BORN PINK’ that have been going on since October of last year, BLACKPINK has been showcasing strengthened teamwork and a closer bond through their performances.
Over the past 11 months, BLACKPINK held large stadium and arena shows in 24 countries and 34 cities, spanning North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. Especially their ability to sell out every show has proved them to be not just a domestic phenomenon but as a top global artist.
In order to reciprocate their fans’ constant love, BLACKPINK is scheduled to hold the final encore of their world tour on September 16th and 17th. Particularly significant is the fact that they will hold the finale concert at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome, becoming the first Korean female artist to do so, marking another new chapter in BLACKPINK’s history.
This upcoming finale concert, different from the first Seoul concert that opened the door to their world tour a year ago, is generating even higher expectations with a completely different setlist and stages. According to YG, this changed finale concert will incorporate Korean uniqueness and amplify it with elements from the ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival’ version setlist and performances, promising a highly complete spectacle.
Thus, this meaningful conclusion of BLACKPINK’s world tour journey not only signifies a new beginning for BLACKPINK but also heightens the anticipation for their upcoming endeavors. The mere preparation of new and distinct stages from their previous shows already signals a positive direction for their contract renewal.
Especially in YG’s description of the upcoming Seoul encore concert as “driven by the members’ determination,” the passion and sincerity of BLACKPINK can be seen. This determination alone gives fans confidence in all BLACKPINK members extending their contracts with YG.
