BLACKPINK’s Rosé is in talks to join THE BLACK LABEL
On June 17, NEWSEN reported that Rosé is set to sign an exclusive contract with THE BLACK LABEL, founded by producer Teddy, for her solo activities. In response, the agency briefly stated that they are currently in discussions regarding the exclusive contract with Rosé.
THE BLACK LABEL, founded by Teddy in 2016, is an entertainment company. Teddy, a former member of the group 1TYM, established the company. It is home to artists such as BIGBANG’s Taeyang, singer Jeon Somi, Zion.T, and actors Park Bo Gum and Lee Jong Won.
Teddy has been the producer behind many of BLACKPINK’s hit songs since the group’s debut with Square One. Last year, YG Entertainment announced that BLACKPINK would not renew their individual contracts for solo endeavors. Nonetheless, Rosé and the other BLACKPINK members opted to extend their contracts with YG Entertainment for future group activities.
If Rosé joins THE BLACK LABEL, all four BLACKPINK members will have secured platforms for their solo activities and projects. Jennie founded ODD ATELIER, Lisa established LLOUD, and Jisoo established BLISSOO.
Rosé joined the South Korean label YG Entertainment after a successful audition in 2012. She underwent four years of training before making her debut as a member of BLACKPINK in August 2016.
Rosé debuted as a solo artist with the single album R in March 2021, achieving remarkable success. The album sold 448,089 copies in its first week, the highest figure for a female K-pop soloist. Its lead single, On the Ground, set records by becoming the highest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist on the US Billboard Hot 100, the Canadian Hot 100, and the UK Singles Chart. Rosé also became the first artist to top the Billboard Global 200 both as a soloist and as part of a group.
Additionally, On the Ground broke the record for the most-viewed music video in the first 24 hours on YouTube by a solo K-pop artist. The album’s second single, Gone, achieved top ten status in South Korea as well.
