No, Lisa has not quit BLACKPINK. While she, along with the other members, has made changes regarding her solo career management, all four members of BLACKPINK have renewed their contracts for future group activities.
BLACKPINK's Group Status Remains Intact
Despite individual members pursuing solo endeavors and managing their personal careers separately, the core of BLACKPINK as a group remains strong. The members, including Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé, have collectively renewed their contracts specifically for their work as a group. This ensures that fans can anticipate continued music and performances from BLACKPINK as a whole.
Distinguishing Solo Pursuits from Group Commitments
It's important to differentiate between the artists' individual solo careers and their collective commitments as BLACKPINK. For her solo career, Lisa has parted ways with YG Entertainment, the agency that managed BLACKPINK. This is a common practice in the K-pop industry, where artists may seek new agencies or establish their own labels for their solo projects while maintaining their group affiliation.
- Group Activities: All four members, including Lisa, have renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment specifically for their group activities as BLACKPINK. This means they will continue to work together on group-related projects, albums, and performances.
- Solo Activities: For her solo career, Lisa has pursued management outside of YG Entertainment. This allows her greater creative freedom and control over her individual music, fashion, and other ventures, as highlighted in articles discussing her solo path, such as "Blackpink's Lisa Is Ready to Be Unleashed."
This arrangement allows each member to explore and expand their individual artistry while still contributing to the iconic group that is BLACKPINK. The separation of solo management from group contracts ensures the longevity and continued success of both aspects of their careers.
