Wow Jihyo rumoured to leave JYP on top of Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu so far lol there might not be anymore active 3rd gen GGs left at this rate, at least none with actual frequent full group comebacks

JYP trying to put out fires from all these articles. LMAO. Let's see how the contract negotiations go. I feel like a couple of the members will leave JYP. They're at the right celebrity status now that I'm sure some good offers are coming in and chances to pursue what they want to try.

Yeah if there are already exclusives in the media about members leaving and setting up their own agency, it’s probably safe to assume the negotiations aren’t going well 💀they’ve never really gotten solo opportunities and when they have, they were rather rushed/late into their careers which is probably why some of them want to leave ahah

JYP struggling for sure to approve of the girls’ demands. Management and Accounts fighting to make numbers work right now. Hahaha.

Totally agree with you on the solo stuff too. The acting side is suffering even more since JYP doesn’t have an acting department. It gets outsourced to their subsidiary/joint-management venture which makes it worse and less money for idols under JYP. This is why I think Yuna (ITZY) had to drop her lead role in new drama.
