[+963, -16] They have seen enough examples of senior groups who were popular as a group only to disband and end up nobodies on their own

[+442, -14] The only fact here is that the second BP disbands, all the fame and honor they've acquired will disappear!!

[+118, -2] Isn't it a group contract, though? Not an agency contract?

[+108, -16] YG's media play, though ㅋㅋㅋㅋ this is not an exclusive YG contract, just a group contract

[+59, -1] Staying as a group is always the better option. Who is Lisa without the Black Pink title?

[+45, -0] They're still young, it's not like there's anything better waiting for them outside of the group. They shine the brightest as four together.

[+33, -0] Lisa needs to know that she's only famous right now because Black Pink is famous. She'll be a nobody as soon as she leaves ㅋㅋㅋ there's nothing that's more special about her than any other singer out there

[+24, -2] So funny how groups start out as powerless when they debut but suddenly hold all the cards when it's time to renew ㅎㅎㅎ

[+14, -0] I reckon it'll be something like they'll do group promos together like albums and tour planning with YG but contract with another agency for solo stuff like CFs and whatnot

[+16, -3] It's not like Lisa or Jennie are at Taylor Swift or IU's level. Their personal brands are lukewarm compared to being called 'Black Pink'

[+134, -3] I thought Yang Hyun Suk was stepping back from management after the Seungri scandal?

[+49, -6] Always best for them to stick together. I'm not a fan but even I think I'd be sad if Black Pink disbanded prematurely like this

[+28, -2] Who does YG even have aside from Black Pink anymore? 

[+9, -2] They tanked stocks all year long with this renewal issue, only to renew now ㅠ

[+6, -0] ㅋㅋㅋ Baby Monster is getting a sh*t ton of hate for their crappy song, the flop vibes are strong with them so it looks like Yang Hyun Suk had to kneel before Lisa and beg her to stay ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+5, -0] YG's done for without Black Pink ㅋ the reactions to their new rookie group are not positive

[+1, -0] Sounds like they'll keep Black Pink around but promote solos separately

[+3, -0] Criminal agency

[+294] They're too good of a group to waste on disbanding prematurely

[+195] Now that you've renewed, hurry up with a new song release

[+111] No other agency will ever be able to produce another group like Black Pink

[+45] Realistically, Black Pink is probably the most successful group to ever come out of YG

[+39] Black Pink has so many great songs

[+22] They've probably realized the reality of their situation, that their worth is tied to being a Black Pink member. Look at how much stocks fell with all that renewal news in the media. That was only hurting their own brand.

[+13] Both the members and YG need to keep the Black Pink name around

[+13] Sigh, another opportunity for that criminal Yang Hyun Suk to make more money..

[+8] Good decision. The best way they can make sure they've done and achieved it all in their twenties is to keep promoting as a group while doing CFs as solos. Just tear up the stage as idols~ it never seemed like they had any big music aspirations anyway. They're smart for this~~~ 👏👏👏
