On July 10, on the social network Weibo (China), a rumor suddenly spread that female idol Jennie of the group Blackpink will not continue to renew her contract with the management company YG Entertainment, after the group's global tour Born Pink ends at the end of August.

This news climbed to the Top 1 hot search (trending search) of Weibo's entertainment board with nearly 2 million posts and 140 million reads as of noon on July 10.

Besides Jennie, there are also rumors that Lisa is hesitant to leave, Rosé will return to Black Label headed by Teddy, while the oldest sister Jisoo has not yet decided whether to stay at YG or go to Black Label.

Blackpink debuted on August 8, 2016. Like most other Kpop groups, the contract of the 4 members of Blackpink with their management company YG Entertainment took effect from the day the group officially started operating, lasting 7 years. Accordingly, Blackpink's exclusive contract will expire in August this year.

Since the beginning of 2013, the media and the public have repeatedly discussed and predicted whether Blackpink will leave or stay at YG. Korean media once reported that Blackpink members were being sought after by many companies as their contracts with YG were coming to an end.

But at the end of June, Star News revealed that the contract renewal negotiation process between YG and Blackpink is going smoothly.

YG or Blackpink members have not made any statement on this issue.

As for Jennie, fans were divided into two opinions when rumors of her leaving YG broke out.

Some people support Jennie to terminate her contract. They think that YG has not fulfilled its responsibility as a management company towards Jennie. When Jennie's scandal broke out, related to her love affair with V (BTS) and her foray into acting in "The Idol", YG almost kept silent when Jennie received a lot of criticism.

Audiences rate YG as weak in handling media crises and protecting artists from malicious information on social networks.

However, there are also many fans who think that Jennie should stay at YG. Despite many shortcomings, it cannot be denied that YG's strategy has helped Jennie become the most famous female idol in Kpop. Jennie developed on the path of a rapper, so she is completely suitable for YG's musical style.

Some even commented that if she moved to another company, Jennie would not have had the same suitable and explosive songs as under the "golden hands" of producer Teddy.
