Blackpink did kind of soft disband with Deadline. Maybe they’ll be back as a group but not under YGent and with a new band name. Or they could collaborate with each other every once in a while? @oddatelier @wearelloud @officialBLISSOO yes please, YG is AS* ❤️

Well obviously some writer just assumed and put that in. Jisoo would never reveal something like that from a source that isn’t herself or her company

The Canneseries announcement focused on a strong presence of US productions, including HBO’s Half Man, Apple TV+’s Star City, AMC-backed The Terror: Devil in Silver and many more.
Jisoo is expected to attend the festival and receive a Madame Figaro Rising Star Award, further highlighting her growing global profile as both a performer and brand ambassador.
Despite the speculation, there has been no official confirmation from Jisoo or her management regarding any departure from BLACKPINK, leaving fans awaiting clarification.
