MANILA, Philippines – Rosé of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK has officially signed with The Black Label, the agency announced on Tuesday, June 18.
“Based on deep trust between producer Teddy and artist Rosé, who worked together for a long time as producer and artist, [Rosé] recently signed a management contract with [The Black Label],” the management said in a statement, according to a report by Soompi.
The Black Label is an entertainment agency founded by Teddy in 2016. Teddy is a longtime producer of BLACKPINK.
The agency also teased that Rosé is currently preparing to release new music and engage in activities worldwide soon. Additional details about these activities have yet to be announced.
“We promise to provide full support to ensure that Rosé can be active in various fields,” The Black Label promised fans.
In an Instagram post made hours after The Black Label’s announcement, Rosé reiterated that she was happy to be officially working with the label to help her achieve her dreams.
She shared that she didn’t want to announce anything until she was sure she could back up the big news of her joining The Black Label with the release of her music.
“Put in a simpler way, whatever I tell you, I wanted to be prepared to back it up with some [good stuff],” she wrote.
The BLACKPINK member then admitted that she needed time to “learn, understand, doubt, and trust [herself] and others” to become the “most responsible person” she could be for herself, stating that she had previously come from a place where more things were done for her, resulting in her doing fewer things on her own.
“This has been a year of drawing up a map and navigating to where I want to be and what I want to be doing going forward. It has been months of learning how to be an independent person for myself,” she wrote.
Rosé also shared that from the end of 2023 to the present, she had been working on new music almost every day in the studio. She added that she would also be making “exciting announcements” in the future.
“So please be excited about my music! I know you have many questions, but this is only the first exciting puzzle piece to a much bigger picture. Love [you],” she ended her caption.
With this, Rosé is the final BLACKPINK member to sign a contract for her solo activities.
All four members of BLACKPINK – Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa – earlier signed exclusive contracts with YG Entertainment for group activities in December 2023. However, they didn’t renew their individual contracts with the company.
In December 2023, Jennie established her own agency Odd Atelier. Meanwhile, Lisa and Jisoo founded their own labels LLOUD Co. and BLISSOO, respectively, in February 2024.
BLACKPINK is known for hits “Pink Venom,” “Shut Down,” “How You Like That,” “Boombayah,” and “Whistle,” among others. As of writing, the quartet has yet to announce plans for a group comeback.
Meanwhile, The Black Label is home to K-pop stars Zion.T, Jeon Somi, BIGBANG’s Taeyang, and actor Park Bogum. – Rappler.com
