Four solo power moves by BLACKPINK’s Jennie, Rosé, Lisa and Jisoo explained

BLACKPINK may be a global phenomenon as a group, but each member has also taken the music world by storm in her own unique way! Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé have all ventured into solo projects—founding labels in South Korea and teaming up with major American record companies—proving that their solo paths are as dazzling as their group activities.

Let’s dive into their four power solo moves:

4. Lisa 

Starting our list is Lisa, who’s brought her trademark charisma to her solo career in a big way. In South Korea, she launched her very own label called LLOUD. On top of that, Lisa joined forces with RCA Records in the United States to ensure her global presence only gets stronger. The Thai idol will also drop her anticipated solo album “ALTER EGO” on February 28, 2025, with a highly anticipated collab featuring Doja Cat and Raye, releasing on February 7.

3. Jennie

In the third spot is Jennie, who established her label, Odd Atelier (OA), reflecting her cutting-edge fashion sense and passion for experimentation. Jennie also partnered with Columbia Records in the U.S., setting the stage for international singles! She previously dropped “Mantra” last year, and now the promo for her upcoming, “RUBY” album is in full swing. The record will be released on March 7, and it’s been preceded by a single titled “ZEN.”

2. Jisoo

Next up is Jisoo, who shines in K-dramas and music alike. She founded the label BLISSOO in South Korea, while she struck a deal with Warner Records in the West. The idol will release her mini-album “AMORTAGE” on Valentine’s Day, February 14. Not to mention, her upcoming show “Newtopia,” has fans buzzing since last year. This K-drama is scheduled for a February 7 premiere on Amazon Prime in select regions.

1. Rosé

Taking the top spot is Rosé, who signed under THEBLACKLABEL in South Korea and joined forces with Atlantic Records in the U.S. As the first member to drop a solo album, “rosie” on December 6, 2024, she has seen great success in this new solo career chapter. Her single “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars has become a worldwide hit, topping charts across the globe.
