From YG to The Black Label: Rosé’s Next Big Leap in K-pop?

Rosé from BLACKPINK is currently making her final decision on a new nest.

Newsen reported on June 17 that through investigating, Rose plans to choose The Black Label, owned by Teddy. An official statement from The Black Label was released shortly after: “We are currently in discussions regarding an exclusive contract with Rosé.”

Given Rosé’s musical preferences and her ten-year history of working with Teddy since her YG days, there are speculations that she will move forward with signing with The Black Label.

Teddy, who debuted at YG and worked as a producer for the label establishing The Black Label, produced BLACKPINK’s hit songs, such as “Whistle” and “Boombayah.”

BLACKPINK mentioned Teddy in their documentary, saying, “He is a producer who listens to us, finds new ideas for us, and always guides us in a good direction. In our hearts, he is the fifth member of BLACKPINK.”

Many fans anticipate Rosé final decision.

BLACKPINK exclusively re-signed with YG Entertainment for their group activities at the end of last year. Since then, each member has thrived in their independent labels, with Jennie being active under ODD ATILIER, Jisoo under BLISS, and Lisa under LLOUD.
