According to several entertainment industry affiliates on May 18, YG Entertainment is currently "making noticeable moves" to prepare for the launch of the agency's brand new rookie girl group, the first in approximately 5 years.

Thus far, the agency has not "confirmed" any concrete plans within the company for the new girl group launch. However, it's long been rumored that YGE's upcoming rookie girl group would debut by the end of 2021, and it seems that preparations may be well under way.

Meanwhile, industry insiders believe that YG Entertainment's newest girl group will have a very different sound and image from BLACKPINK.

[UPDATE] A representative of YG Entertainment curtly responded to the above news with, "It's true that the agency is currently preparing for a new girl group launch."

If this is true, then I just hope that YG doesn't neglect BlackPink like they did with 2NE1. 2NE1 had so much potential and it was completely wasted.

they better not do dirty sneaky snake games to black pink like they did with 2ne1. I hope all four of them re-sign with the for like a couple of years when contract expires in ‘23 even if they don’t I respect their decision & hope they split amicably.
