K-pop’s biggest acts often face intense scrutiny once group contracts near their end.
Solo careers pull harder after years of shared stages. That tension now surrounds Blackpink once more. A prediction account post claiming two members filed a disbandment petition with YG Entertainment has spread rapidly across X and fan forums.
The post names Rosé and Jennie as the likely pair behind any such move. It points to a possible farewell mini-album or single before year’s end. Jisoo allegedly floated a short tour first. Lisa appears open to options that protect her solo path. The claim remains fully unverified. Similar unconfirmed stories have circulated before without proof. YG Entertainment has offered no comment.
Blackpink renewed only their group deal with the label in late 2023. Each member then built independent setups for solo work. Jennie launched ODD Atelier. Lisa created LLOUD. Jisoo started Blissoo. Rosé joined The Black Label. The arrangement let them chase individual projects while keeping the quartet intact under YG for joint releases and tours.
They delivered on that promise. The group wrapped the Deadline world tour with an emotional Hong Kong finale early this year. Tears and embraces on stage fed earlier speculation. Their Deadline EP followed in February. It featured the earlier single “Jump” plus new tracks and strong sales.
Rosé addressed future questions on the Call Her Daddy podcast around that time. “If one of us feels like at that time it’s not the right thing, then we’re all in, we would all understand,” she said. “Like any relationship, if one person is not ready for something, then it should just be respected.”
Lisa struck a similar note more recently. On the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, she was asked about a full reunion and new music. “If the timing is right,” she replied. She noted the members need solo time after the tour. “They’re my family. They’re my best friends.” The four still text regularly in their group chat.
Fans have reacted with a mix of worry and pushback. Some treat the prediction as fresh fuel for old fears. Others dismiss rumor accounts as unreliable. The limited 10th anniversary meet-and-greet earlier this year already left many Blinks disappointed. Coordination across four separate agencies adds real logistical friction to any group plans.
Contract talks could surface again soon. Typical renewals last a few years. Blackpink’s current group deal fits that window. The members have repeatedly framed the group as family rather than obligation. Yet their packed solo calendars show where energy currently flows.
No farewell project has been announced. No petition has been confirmed. The silence from YG leaves space for speculation to grow. Blinks will watch closely for any official word as the year winds down.
For now, the quartet continues as four distinct artists who still share a name and a history.
