1- We had five high-profile enlistments in December. For BTS, the remaining four members all enlisted for active-duty service in early December. RM & V enlisted together on the 11th of December, while Jimin & Jungkook enlisted the following day on the 12th. Earlier, it was reported that V would be joining a special ops division in the military that is an anti-terrorist department under the direct supervision of The Blue House which was later confirmed by the idol himself via weverse. Then on the 21st of December, we saw Exo's Sehun officially begin his military enlistment. This marks the final members of both Exo & BTS to begin their military service.

2- We had some new updates to contract negotiations in December. Most notably with BLACKPINK. YG Entertainment shared that all of the BLACKPINK members had officially re-negotiated their contracts with the company to continue their group activities under YG. Then it was later shared by YG that they had lost the rights to manage the group members' solo careers and that the group members would be free to sign with new companies for the management of their solo activities. As a result, BLACKPINK's Jennie established her own agency, ODDATELIER for her future solo schedules. While on the topic of idol-established agencies, it has been shared that PENTAGON member Kino, who departed CUBE earlier this year, has created a one-man agency titled NAKED. Then moving onto the topic of moving to a new label, and LOONA member Yves has shared that she has signed on to a new company and is currently in the process of working on a new album.
