At the end of 2023 it was confirmed that Blackpink would not be renewing their contracts with YG Entertainment, leaving it up in the air as to what their group activities would consist of going forward. However, reports have stated that fans can expect a long awaited comeback by the girls sometime in mid-2024. Until then the members will be exploring individual opportunities and schedules.
