Apart from Lisa, Pharrell will also be performing at the Yellow Coins Gala for a second time. He performed his viral hit Happy at the event in 2023. The singer has not only shared the stage with K-pop stars but collaborated with them, too. Working with BTS' RM on an upcoming song.

While BLACKPINK's Lisa has renewed her contract with the YG label as part of the group, she and the other members are still discussing individual contracts.
