Meanwhile, YG recently announced a new master plan to strengthen the activities of its artists. This includes BLACKPINK’s new song release and large-scale world tour, BABYMONSTER and TREASURE’s upcoming album releases, and accelerating the launch of new rookies, all part of YG’s strategy to expand its intellectual property.
