As 2023 draws to a close, BLACKPINK marks a pivotal moment with YG Entertainment renewing their contract exclusively for group activities. This strategic move reinforces their commitment as a group. It also paves the way for individual pursuits, especially in collaborations with high-end brands. During this transition, the members balance their group identity with personal growth. This reflects a new era for BLACKPINK in the dynamic world of K-pop and luxury brand endorsements.
BLACKPINK Renewed Their Contract with YG Entertainment
After prolonged discussions, YG Entertainment has renewed its contract with all members of BLACKPINK towards the end of 2023, exclusively for group activities. Confirmed on December 6, this update, while reassuring to fans and stakeholders, also leaves room for individual pursuits with different agencies.
“After thorough discussions, we have successfully renewed an exclusive contract with BLACKPINK, reflecting our mutual trust and commitment to their future activities.”

This strategic focus on BLACKPINK’s group commitments coincides with the members’ increasing involvement with high-end brands. Although BLACKPINK has maintained their prominence, individual projects and brand endorsements have led to more personal commitments and less frequent group activities. It raises questions about the balance between their individual careers and group dynamics.
Jennie Starts Off with ODDATELIER
Adding to this, BLACKPINK’s Jennie Kim is launching her own fashion label, ODDATELIER. Announced on December 23 and established in November 2023, ODDATELIER is a reflection of Jennie’s creative vision and her association with the fashion industry. The brand aims to offer unique and artistic products, mirroring Jennie’s ambition to explore and innovate in the fashion domain.
