Lisa is scripting her successful solo career!
We may know her as the attractive BLACKPINK rapper, but Lisa has managed to write her own successful story as a solo artist apart from the fame she garnered from the band.
Marking her achievement of becoming Billboard‘s first global cover star, the K-pop idol spoke to the magazine in a November 14 interview, where she detailed her journey and how she feels while releasing her solo music.
The ‘Pink Venom’ rapper noted that she “was scared and nervous because I never really come out here to do my own stuff” at first, but now she is “having fun,” releasing her music.
Her motivation comes from the overwhelming response she receives after putting out a track. Lisa explained, “When [my singles] came out, the reaction from the fans, it’s healing me. It’s like, ‘Oh, my God. Yeah — I did a great job!'”
Lisa’s caliber as a solo artist has been widely accepted by fans, as demonstrated during The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2024, where she performed her recent Billboard chart-topping track, ‘Rockstar.’ Her fire-packed performance was met with roars of cheers from the audience during the show.
The ‘Ice-Cream’ singer is currently trying to broaden her horizons into the world of music and try different styles of singing after being known as BLACKPINK’s rapper. She told Billboard during her interview, “In BLACKPINK, I’m a rapper, so I always rap. But now it’s a chance for me to show the world that I’m capable of [so much more].”
‘The White Lotus’ actress then affirmed that the famous quartet will reunite in 2025 to resume its band-related projects, saying, “I can’t wait.”
Lisa said that she and her bandmates, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo are a close-knit group and share each other’s successes and failures like a family. She noted, “We want to support and say, ‘You did really well!’ Like, Jennie and Rosie just released their own songs, and we’re on texts, we’re on FaceTime. They’re like family.” Here Lisa is referring to Jennie’s new hit ‘Mantra,’ and Rosé’s chart-topping debut collaboration with Bruno Mars, ‘APT.’
Lisa recently made headlines for her appearance in Season 3 of ‘The White Lotus,’ where she will be playing the character of the hotel staff for the White Lotus resort. Her fans found her debut role as an actress derogatory because she has been given the role of a maid. Here is a sneak peek of Season 3 and Lisa’s debut appearance.
