A Reporter From Newsen Korea Refutes Rumor Surrounding BLACKPINK’s Lisa Departing for Paris Without YG Staff + Korean Netizens’ Reactions

On September 26th, a Korean netizen shared a report from a local Korean news portal.

"While the question of whether the globally popular girl group Blackpink and YG Entertainment will renew their contract has emerged as a hot topic, many people have been puzzled by the news that Lisa is reportedly carrying out her schedule without staff.

At the end of this month, Lisa will set a new record as the first K-pop idol to perform at the Crazy Horse Paris Cabaret, one of the top three cabaret venues in Paris. For this performance, Lisa was captured leaving the country alone without accompanying her staff or manager. Lisa, who was leaving for Paris via Incheon International Airport on the 24th, was not accompanied by staff, bodyguards, or even a manager.

Lisa quietly left the country that day without informing the media or fans. Lisa, who arrived in Paris, appeared to be accompanied by only a few local bodyguards..."

According to the report, BLACKPINK's Lisa allegedly left for Paris without YG staff. She is set to perform at the "Crazy Horse Cabaret" in Paris for five performances on September 28th, 29th and 30th.

A reporter from Newsen Korea took it online to clarify the issue.

Translation:

P.S. Due to an accident during the last entry, 2 managers and 4 bodyguards were present at the departure site, but there were no fans at the airport and only reporters. I think that's why it stands out so much... You can't see it in the camera angle, but I was watching Lisa from afar until she left the country, just in case. This is the fact.

However, international and Korean fans are divided over the issue but hope for the best for Lisa's career.

Whether she renews with YG Entertainment or goes to another agency, her fans have pledged their support to her future endeavors.

Korean netizens commented:

• Judging by the delayed debut of a rookie this time, YG is consistently not very good.
• I was wondering if only Lisa's contract had failed, but it seems like there are no members who have signed yet. Jisoo and Jennie are also talking about a one-person agency. ​​YG really does it a lot and if it doesn't work out, they say it didn't work out or they're really dragging it out.
• It will be difficult to renew the contract, and it will take a long time for YG to release an album.
• It looks like the contract hasn't been renewed and they're announcing it as late as possible because of the stock price.
• All the Korean managers went to the airport. What are you talking about? Reporters are just writing articles to increase clicks.
• Maybe she went on a personal trip.
• Hey, are you performing solo in Paris? That's cool, Lisa. You're really talented. I hope you can fly high.
• It seems like she would go to a different agency but the contract amount would be different.
• Poor Lisa, the other members haven’t renewed their contracts, so why are you making an article like they can’t renew their contracts because Lisa didn’t do it?
• It feels like Lisa is going to go to a big overseas agency...
• I thought Lisa was going to be on Blackpink because she bought a mansion in Ulnara, but I don't know anymore.
• The existing contract has already ended. Until the contract is renewed, there is no affiliation.
• Lisa seems to have fallen in love with YG, but that's understandable... Even if the other members of BLACKPINK set up a one-person agency, there's a possibility that they will have a connection with YG. Anyway, it seems like the situation is not going to be resolved in many ways, but is it going to drag on like this?
