“Is This the End of Blackpink? The Uncertain Future of Lisa Manoban’s Contract”
The shares of YG Entertainment dropped yesterday, and this drop in the stock market is said to be due to the looming possibility that Lisa may not renew her contract with YG Entertainment.
These rumors began after it was seen that Frederic Arnault, CEO of the luxury brand Tag Heuer which is also connected to Louis Vuitton and other high-end brands, was seen together with Lisa. It is said that Lisa turned down the offer from YG Entertainment of 50 billion Korean won or 37.6 million USD.
Investors and fans of Blackpink are anxious, and discussions are trending in online forums. The issue escalated further when Lisa suddenly said a memorable message during their recent concert tour, saying, “This tour was possible thanks to Blinks, and I was able to perform in various amazing venues. Regardless of the weather, I appreciate your relentless support. Thank you for brightening my 20s.” Fans felt like this message was hinting at something as if it were her parting words to the Blinks.
