Although she chose not to disclose specific details about the band's new contract, her words offered reassurance to concerned fans.
Rosé further elaborated on the group's collaborative spirit, explaining, "If one of us feels like at that time that's not the right thing then we're all in. We will understand and like any relationship if one person is not ready for something then it should just be respected." This statement highlights the deep bond and professional maturity that has characterized BLACKPINK's journey over the years.
Addressing Fan Concerns and Emphasizing Respect
The singer also touched upon the emotional aspect of their decisions, noting, "We will not be able to neglect anyone's decision at any time in their life. We trust that every decision made is the right decision for each person." This reflects a philosophy of individual growth within the collective framework of the group, which has been a cornerstone of their success.
Regarding the group's activities post-tour, Rosé reiterated their commitment to unity, saying, "If one of us feels like it's not the right thing. Then we're all in." This comes amid fans' worries about a possible disbandment, especially after the group returned from a three-year hiatus with the world tour.

Looking Ahead: New Music and Continued Growth
In addition to addressing rumors, Rosé shared insights into the group's upcoming projects. BLACKPINK is set to release their third mini-album, Deadline, on February 27, 2026. This announcement has generated excitement among fans, who are eager to see how the group evolves musically. Rosé's comments suggest that while the members are focused on individual growth, they remain dedicated to their collective artistic endeavors.
She reflected on the hiatus, stating, "We are also growing up right now and we haven't had enough time to be ourselves or explore that ever—we weren't really allowed that. So we allowed ourselves that one year and to see all the things that the members have accomplished, it's really fun to watch." This perspective underscores the balance between personal development and group cohesion that BLACKPINK strives to maintain.
As the K-pop industry continues to evolve, BLACKPINK's approach to handling rumors and planning their future sets a precedent for transparency and respect.
