What are the members of Blackpink planning in 2024? Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé did not renew their individual contracts with YG Entertainment – so what does this mean for the bandmates' solo activities?

Blackpink is undoubtedly the biggest K-pop girl group and also one of the most profitable in the music industry. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé have an estimated net worth of US$20 million.

Last month, all four members of the group were renewed their contracts with YG Entertainment for Blackpink’s group activities, but – in a landmark move – the four did not renew their individual contracts for their solo activities. Instead, each will branch out on its own terms in 2024 – opening up new and hopefully lucrative business opportunities.

However, this does not mean that the group deprioritizes its group activities. In a press statement regarding the renewed contract, YG stated that Blackpink are ready for a new album and a world tour, adding, “Blackpink will continue to do everything in their power to shine even brighter in the global music market as an artist representing not only our company but also K-pop. And we send our unwavering support and faith to [fans].”

As an ambassador for luxury brands including Bulgari, Celine, Mac and Prada, Thai ‘It’ girl Lisa is already a busy woman. Like her bandmate Jenny, Lisa is rumored to be dipping her toes into the acting pool this year.

Media around the world have widely speculated that Lisa will join the cast of Living Dead for your next season. Lisa has been seen traveling between Seoul and Paris, where the series is filmed, and in November she was spotted at a Champions League football match in the company of Living Dead actor Norman Reedus. Both Reedus and the TV show’s official Instagram account began following the singer soon after, giving fans possible hints of what’s to come.

It is currently unknown which agency Lisa will be signing with for her solo career, with contract details still under wraps.
