Jennie signed with Columbia Records, Lisa partnered with RCA Records, and Rosé joined Atlantic Records. Jisoo also secured a solo deal, ensuring all members remain active in both group and solo capacities.
Fans, known as Blinks, flooded social media with excitement following the tour announcement. While specific dates and cities have yet to be revealed, the teaser has already generated significant buzz. It remains unclear whether the tour will coincide with a new album release.
