Lisa will seemingly be the next member of BLACKPINK to make her solo debut.
On April 16, Harper’s Bazaar Thailand shared a photo of the Thai-born idol on their Instagram page, revealing in the accompanying caption that the singer will make her highly anticipated debut as a soloist later this June.
However, her agency YG Entertainment has yet to confirm the news. In a statement to The Korea Herald, the company confirmed that “Lisa is still working hard on the album” but did not confirm a release date.
Earlier this March, BLACKPINK’s Rosé made her solo debut with her first-ever single album ‘R’, featuring the song ‘On the Ground’ and ‘Gone’. NME’s Rhian Daly called it “a no-frills testament that proves a powerful voice and good songwriting don’t need to be big or ostentatious to shine” in a four-star review.
Rosé set a high bar with her debut and broke several records with her release. The music video for ‘On the Ground’ garnered 41.6million views on YouTube within 24 hours, surpassing the eight-year record previously held by Psy’s ‘Gentleman’.
The single also charted at number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the highest-ranking female K-pop soloist and the only second K-pop female soloist to ever take a spot in Billboard’s main singles chart.
In other BLACKPINK news, the group recently surpassed 60million subscribers on YouTube. This makes them the second most-subscribed musicians in the world after Justin Bieber, as well as the biggest account based in South Korea.
The post BLACKPINK’s Lisa to reportedly make solo debut in June appeared first on NME.
