Is Jennie Kim leaving BLACKPINK?
The rumours have been surfacing on the Chinese social media platform, Weibo, where users have been sharing their thoughts, observations and theories about Jennie Kim’s future in the girl band.
Shortly after appearing on The Idol, Jennie released her first apparel collection with the luxury brand Calvin Klein. She is also reportedly joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and recently she appeared on Dua Lipa’s podcast. Hence fans speculate that Jennie might be on her own.
The other reason for these speculations are the several reports that suggest that she might not be renewing her contract with her agency, YG Entertainment. Popular conjectures also tell us that another member of the band, Lisa, is reportedly going terminate her contract with the agency as well. Commenting on the same, YG Entertainment has issued a statement, stating “We are in discussions [with all members] on contract renewals.” For the unversed, BLACKPINK’S contract with YG Entertainment expires in August 2023.
It is pertinent to note that these are all rumours and theories that the netizens have come up with. There has been no official statement from Jennie Kim or from BLACKPINK as a whole unit. Meanwhile, BLINKS – stans of the girl band are of the view that all these rumours are mere speculations. Needless to say that BLACKPINK fans are hoping that their favourite K-pop group remains intact.
