[BREAKING NEWS] BLACKPINK'S Lee Minah signs up with Republic Records and writes an emotional message to BLINKS: "A part of me is afraid, and the other one is relieved."
Another win for BLINKS! On this Monday, February 5th, BLACKPINK's Minah announced, through an emotional handwritten note posted on her official profile on Instagram that she is now a Republic Records' artist.
According to a brief statement issued by YG to local media on December 29th, 2023: "BLACKPINK recently renewed their contracts with YG for their group activities, and we have agreed not to proceed with additional contracts for [the members'] individual activities”. Since then, fans have been anxious to know more about the members' plans for their solo careers.
Minah was seen meeting with executive producers from record labels overseas, such as Sony Music, Columbia Records and Interscope Records, but never confirmed anything until this week.
Surprising the fans after months away from social media, Minah started her letter greeting the fans and joking about her hiatus.
"It's been a long time, right? I feel like I have to re-introduce myself to you." Minah wrote. She then continued with the news. "I would like to start by wishing everyone a happy new year. May 2024 be as blessed and happy as 2023, with a lot of money and health for us! As it is known, I'm not a YG artist anymore. I and the whole YG crew have been a family since my infancy, but, as it happens in real life, it was time for me to chase big and better things, personally and professionally. Part of me is afraid, and the other one is relieved. I'm grateful for all the things I learned with all the YG staff and producers - who helped me become the artist I am and made my biggest dream come true. I'm still part of BLACKPINK, and BLACKPINK will always be part of me, but I'm excited to announce that I'll be managing my solo career alongside the amazing team from Republic Records. I hope to get to explore and show you another side of myself. I love you. Thank you."
Republic Records is the house of many A-list artists, such as Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Shania Tawn and KPOP groups like TWICE, ITZY, TXT and more.
We wish Princess Minah sucess in this new era! 🩰🖤💗

pizza night
blackpink 5th member au
minah and mingyu suddenly turning into parents of 12
WARNINGS: it's been a long time since the last time I've written something. hope you guys like it tho!
masterlist 🩰 requests are opened
feedback is always important to me!
"Five, four, three…"
The yoga instructor's voice was the only thing filling Minah and Mingyu's living room. Minah held her breath as the woman counted, trying to recreate the exact position she was teaching.
After the accident, Minah found the wonderful world of online workouts, and she never had to bother about going to the gym again. Not when she could do all that in her living room, not having to interact with other humans but her boyfriend, peacefully sleeping upstairs.
"Okay, now take a deep breath. And now, let it go." Minah did as the instructor said. "That's it for today, everyone. Our next class…"
Minah didn't wait for the video to end to turn off the TV, sitting on her couch and closing her eyes, feeling her muscles and her body racing post-workout. Oh, how she loved being alive.
She took her time there, just enjoying the silence, before deciding it was time for her to wake Mingyu up and get something to eat.
She was in the middle of the hallway when her intercom started ringing. Minah frowned. She didn't invite anyone, and Mingyu would probably warn her if he had. She turned around and headed to the kitchen.
Before even looking closely, Minah recognised who it was.
"Gosh…" she mumbled. Taking the intercom off the hook, Minah answered before anything. "Come in."
It didn't take two minutes before the door slammed open, and twelve men entered the apartment.
"Jesus, I'm so hungry." Dokyeom said, heading straight to the kitchen. He stopped before Minah and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. "Hi, mom."
Minah lightly slapped his shoulder, making the boys laugh.
In less than a minute, her apartment was looking like a playground.
Seungcheol, Dokyeom and Jeonghan were in the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Joshua, Wonwoo, Jihoon and Minghao turned the TV on again and searched for a game to play, already deciding the pairs. Chan and Seungkwan waved at her and just laid on the couch. Minah made a mental note to brag with Mingyu about her perfect couch choice.
"Okay," she said. "who's gonna tell me what happened?"
"We were bored." Hansol showed up on her side, devouring one of her chocolate sundaes.
"And we missed you." Sooyoung said, trying to add a reason.
"Actually, our AC system broke." Jun whispered at her, heading to one of the guests' bedrooms.
"Hyung!" the men groaned together.
Minah laughed at their reaction.
Somehow, Minah can't even keep a straight face next to them. It always felt like she was in high school again, especially with the younger ones. She noticed Hayun wasn't there.
"Where's Hayun, by the way?"
"No comments on that." Seungcheol said without looking away from the oven, and she understood Hayun was probably sleeping in someone else's house.
"I'm gonna wake Mingyu." she announced, leaving the living room.
"No!" twelve voices echoed together, making her laugh.
"Why waking him up? He's so peaceful while he's asleep." Chan said with a forced smile on his face.
"The house is so quiet. Listen. " Jihoo said, making a signal for them to be quiet. "You can even listen to the birds."
Minah scoffed and shook her head, heading to the hallway leading to her bedroom. Mingyu had already talked to them about showing up without warning.
When she opened the door and got into the bedroom, she wished they were alone. Mingyu was in the same position she left him earlier, and she just wanted to take a quick shower and cuddle him again.
But a loud noise from the kitchen followed by a 'Dokyeom!' made Mingyu sit on the bed.
"What's happening?" he said, before even opening his eyes.
Minah chuckled and sat close to him, pulling him closer in a quick kiss.
"Hi, baby. We have guests." she said, watching Mingyu's sleeping face turning into a confused one, pulling Minah into a hug.
It took Mingyu a few seconds to fully understand what she meant, now rolling his eyes and making Minah laugh.
"I can't believe they did it again." he mumbled against her hair.
"Yes, honey. They did." Minah told him, letting go of his arms. "I'll be waiting for you so we can decide what to eat. We didn't go to the market yesterday, and we don't have enough food for all of us."
"I'll be out in a minute." Mingyu said, getting up and heading to their shared bathroom.
A loud noise from the kitchen made Minah leave the room and go back to the living room to check what happened.
"Oh, they have some good beers here…" Chan said.
Minah was about to tell him to drink some when she felt Mingyu's hand on her shoulder.
"Good morning, guys." he said, making the boys turn their attention to him.
"Oh, look at our Sleeping Beauty!" Soonyoung said, kidding and hugging Mingyu.
"Morning?" Wonwoo said, checking his watch. "It's almost noon, Mingyu-ah."
"Oh, that explains why Seungkwan and Chan are already on their third bottle of soju." Mingyu answered, watching his members toasting one more shot of soju. "Whatever," he shook his head. "we're ordering some pizzas, if you want to stay for dinner."
The boys tsked together and started mumbling.
"I'd love to stay, but I forgot my wallet." Seungcheol said, palming his pockets, trying to sound convincing.
"Me too." Dokyeom said, doing the same thing.
"Me t-"
Before Jihoo could say the same thing, Mingyu interrupted him.
"I'll pay." he told them.
Minah had never seen 12 grown men as happy as the 12 men inside her apartment at that moment. They started to cheer and mock Mingyu, thanking him, and that made her give an honest laugh.
"I'm going to call the girls and invite them over." she told Mingyu, who nodded and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek before she left to get her phone.
"Finally Mingyu hyung is going to open his wallet!" Hansol joked.
"Should we order some more beers, then? And then we can stop at some ice cream shop, and then we can buy some chocolate-" Chan asked.
Before Chan could finish his sentence, Mingyu threw a pillow at him, making the boys burst out.

Hi! It’s the anon who is going to make an OC member! I’m sorry if this is a lot but I just wanted to get some advice on something else if that’s alright.
I know that you said that I shouldn’t take it too seriously since writing is supposed to be fun, and I completely agree with that, but I’m such a perfectionist and the need to even start out with basic formatting and “perfect” blog decoration is making my head hurt😅
I know that it’s not a big deal, but I really admire the other OC member blogs I see and follow, like yours, and can’t help but want to follow that example and make it as great as possible (which I realize is sounding very over-achiever so I apologize😅).
I was just wondering if you had any wisdom on this. Thank you and take your time🤗
hello! don't worry about that, I love helping y'all 🥹
I don't know much about blog decoration, can you believe it? I use the regular tumblr template, and I just try to make it more "me"
the only thing I've always wanted was to people to have an easy acess to my posts, so simple is the best... but you can watch some tutorials on youtube, I'm pretty sure there are some cool videos that will help you with that

Hi! I’m planning on making an OC blog and was wondering if you had any tips, suggestions or anything like that?
hello! really happy for you!
so, one of my main tip for you is: do it for fun and enjoy the process of making a whole storyline, and even more than that, don't take it too seriously. writing is supposed to be fun, not an obligation.
one of the things that would make me really happy was when my readers noticed references and would send me asks about it, for me that meant that people really cared about my work and paid attention to the smallest details, so don't do things thinking people won't realise.
and one last thing, your readers aren't just your readers, they're your friends. I honestly hated whenever I was reading someone else's oc and the writer would think the readers were doing a **favour** by reading they stuff, like, wtf? and it happened more than once, sadly
but, overall, just enjoy it. you're gonne love it.

I have an idea, BUT feel free to opposé writing this
#JAEIN this is probably like before pregnancy n stuff like that, like another era so Matthew her brother that has the travelling youtube channel is having like either a 10th anniversary or a large subscription thanks video, and he invites his whole family be in the video because they've been there with him since the beginning of his channel,, and the video content is for once NOT travelling but instead like a more chaotic 'Who is most likely to —SIBLINGS EDITION—'
Who's most likely to be rebellious, who was the most expensive or spent on growing up, who is most likely to get married and have kids, most likely to die alone, favorite child, most fashionable, most likely to get arrested, most cries the most as a child, pain in the arse, ETC.,,ETC
And their parents MOM AND DAD get to either dip their face with flour or spray them with water LMAOOOO
took me a long time, BUT I JUST WANT TO THANK THIS ANON!
I was reading my inbox and all the old asks I had, trying to get some inspo to write again and this was just gold! more than writing the girls and all the idol-ish things, I love writing their personal lives as well.
thank youuuuu <3
