According to a local media report on Monday, Blackpink’s Rose is set to sign with The Black Label.
The hip-hop label and management company is a subsidiary of YG Entertainment and is headed by producer Teddy, the man behind Blackpink’s success who has produced many of the group’s hits including ‘Doo-du Doo-du’, ‘Boombayah’, ‘Kill This Love’ and ‘How You Like That’. He also produced both songs on Rose’s first solo single “R” in 2021. The main track “On The Ground” topped the iTunes Top Songs chart in 51 regions and entered Billboard’s Hot 100 at number 70, the highest position for a K-pop singer at the time.
The label is in talks with the artist as a result of the report.
All four members of Blackpink renewed their group contracts with YG Entertainment last December, which is estimated to have cost the label around $29 million. The members, with the exception of Rose, have since formed their own companies to manage their individual careers.
