Yep, no manager or YG staff with her. It’s time to everyone accept that the contract is over and move on. Mommy Manobal supporting Lisa in this tough moment is everything that we need ✨💛 pic.twitter.com/9tspOloQMg

I guess she's not managed by YG anymore the media will get the news of their arrival or departure from the company that's why no YG staff were in sight other than wonjae who dropped her at the airport and didn't even go with her I hope she start hiring people for her protection https://t.co/TnYFg94vbG

But obviously, there are differences already. lisa doesnt have any YG staff when she flew. Even if it is her personal choice, if she is under YG, they will provide support isnt it? but there is none at all. so why delay when people can see already? maybe they will this october?

Meanwhile, regarding the other members, a media outlet reported that Jennie and Jisoo plan to establish a one-man agency and are discussing BLACKPINK activities with YG Entertainment.
On the 25th, YG the agency declined to comment again, saying:
"Nothing has been confirmed and we are discussing it."
BLACKPINK has been with YG for seven years and this 2023. They caused a ruckus after reports claimed that the contract renewal between the artist and agency is not going as smoothly as expected.
Attention is focused on whether the quartet, which is leading the global craze of K-pop and writing history, will continue its relationship with YG Entertainment.
YG Entertainment has continued to offer no definite answer.
