On the other hand, Lisa also integrated her own agency, LLOUD, for her solo activities. However, she has also extended the outlet for her international activities and projects through her recent contract with RCA Records. RCA Records is an American label owned by Sony Music Entertainment.
As of now, the idol has not released any statements on the reports of her joining THE BLACK LABEL.
