- The Thai K-pop singer debuted under the entertainment agency in 2016 with her three other members, including Rosé, Jisoo, and Jennie. After attaining global stardom, breaking various records with group and solo projects, and securing ambassadorship from various reputable brands, the star is looking for an appropriate offer for her contract.
- After she allegedly rejected the first offer from YG Entertainment, the media house claims she received another offer of 50 Million KRW (USD 37.7 million approx) which she rejected as well. Moreover, the reports claim that while discussing the contract renewal with her agency Lisa has kept tens of millions of dollar deals on hold.

- Currently, all the members are successfully conducting their BORN PINK world tour, which will conclude on September 17 after two shows at the Gocheok Dome in Seoul. Following this, if the decision regarding the contract renewal isn’t taken, then the girls might go on an indefinite hiatus.
- On the other hand, the members can continue any schedules they signed before the contract expiration (August 8, 2023). However, the decision for contract renewal is necessary to continue new activities.
- If BLACKPINK doesn’t decide by the time their schedules are complete, then there’s a possibility of an indefinite hiatus, which, although it isn’t impossible, is still unlikely.
