Is BLACKPINK Disbanding In 2025?

Rumors about BLACKPINK disbanding have circulated widely, especially on platforms like Reddit and TikTok. 

A Redditor (@u/greendayshoes) commented on a post I don’t know anything about this specifically but I will say as a veteran kpop stan countless groups have said stuff about always being together and then disbanded. It isn’t that uncommon for group members to continue promoting with their group as contractors, though. You never can really tell what’s going to happen. It’s best to just wait and see.

Though most of these rumors have been cleared with the renewal of their contract with YG Entertainment, in a November 2024 interview with The New York Times, Rose explicitly stated that disbanding was never an option for BLACKPINK. She revealed that the members had extensive discussions about their futures and unanimously agreed to continue as a group.

BLACKPINK’s Contract Renewal With YG Entertainment

BLACKPINK renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment at the end of 2023 for a period of two years. This renewal is exclusively for group activities, allowing the members to pursue solo careers independently.

The relatively short contract duration shows the member’s desire to test their solo success while keeping the door open for future group projects. YG Entertainment has also announced the BLACKPINK world tour in 2025, indicating a strong commitment to the group’s future.
