BLACKPINK's Lisa is reportedly gearing up for a solo comeback, with plans to pre-release her new song on Spotify and Apple Music. This move has sparked a variety of reactions from fans, many of whom are concerned about the accessibility of these platforms and the language of the song.
Fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts on Lisa's anticipated comeback. The responses have been diverse, with some expressing excitement and others voicing concerns:
"So she's gonna pre-release her song on Spotify and Apple Music? This is gonna be difficult, I don't use either," one fan commented, highlighting a common concern among Korean fans unfamiliar with these international music platforms.
Another fan questioned the direction of Lisa's career: "So is she not gonna promote in Korea anymore? Lisa's solo company LLOUD and the company that cooperates with her are both foreign companies. And the song also seems to be in English."

Despite these concerns, some fans pointed out similarities to past releases: "This was similar to BP's comeback too though?? It's just a notification."
Language also appears to be a significant factor in fans' reactions. One netizen remarked, "There are a bunch of Korean idols who are only writing English songs despite having Korean companies too thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ," reflecting the frustration of fans who prefer Korean lyrics.
However, others saw the use of English as an opportunity for broader international reach: "But as for Spotify and Apple Music, even if you don't know English, if you had some experience fangirling, you should be able to know how to use them no...?"
While some fans are apprehensive about the changes, others remain optimistic and excited about Lisa's comeback. Comments like "Looking forward to Lisa" and "When is the song coming out? I don't know, that's all I saw" showcase the anticipation building around the release.
One fan tried to reassure others, explaining, "That's just adding Lisa's name to Spotify and Apple Music, probably for the purpose of letting fans know. If you don't use Spotify or Apple Music, you'll just need recognize the coming soon sign in that photo."
