The girl group's company, YG Entertainment, also confirmed the news, saying Rosé and Lisa are working hard to prepare for their solo debuts. Fellow BLACKPINK member, Jisoo, will prepare for her solo debut after she is done filming her drama, "Snowdrop."
Now, in reports released on Monday, Jan. 4, it has been revealed that both Rosé and Lisa have finished filming their respective solo debut music videos. Reports have also stated that YG Entertainment will be releasing their solo debut schedules soon, but no official date has been announced. It is speculated that Rosé will be debuting as a soloist first, followed by Lisa, then Jisoo.
Are you excited for Rosé and Lisa's solo debut?
YG Entertainment first announced Rosé would be debuting as a soloist back in June 2020, in a statement concerning BLACKPINK and the member's plans for the future. The company revealed that Rosé has been preparing for her solo debut for over a year now and that it was taking up more time than expected since they were planning to release an album with multiple songs instead of just one digital single release.
During their original statement, YG Entertainment confirmed Rosé would be debuting as a soloist in Sept. 2020, after the release of BLACKPINK's first-ever full-length studio album. In their statement, they also said Lisa was in the process of preparing for her solo debut and that they were starting up preparations for member Jisoo's solo release.
In the end, however, neither Rosé nor Lisa debuted as a soloist in 2020 and BLACKPINK released their first-ever full-length studio album, "THE ALBUM", in Oct. 2020. While many were upset with the company for delaying Rosé's solo, it was discovered in "BLACKPINK: Light Up The Sky", BLACKPINK's Netflix documentary, that Rosé was a perfectionist who did not want to release music that was not up to par to her standards. It was further revealed that Rosé is highly involved with the creative process of her music.
YG Entertainment producer and founder of The Black Label, Teddy Park, also revealed in the documentary that though they are aware of how fans are asking for more music, they are very selective in what music they put out.
Jennie was the first BLACKPINK member to debut as a soloist. In 2018, she made her solo debut with the song "SOLO," which debuted at number one on the Gaon Music Chart and topped the Billboard World Digital Songs chart. "SOLO" achieved a triple crown for ranking atop the download, digital, and streaming charts.
