From One to Four
Since their debut in 2016, BLACKPINK has redefined what it means to be a global girl group. But beyond their unity on stage, each member has embarked on unique solo journeys that reveal different colors of their artistry. These projects are not side notes to their group success—they are vital chapters that showcase the depth of BLACKPINK’s impact on music, fashion, and culture.
The Solo Journey series highlights how Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé are carving out their own legacies, proving that BLACKPINK’s strength lies not only in togetherness but also in individuality.
Jisoo – Elegance and Emotional Storytelling
When Jisoo released “Flower” in 2023, it was more than a debut—it was a declaration of identity. Known for her calm and graceful presence, Jisoo brought a cinematic quality to her music. Her music video, filled with symbolic visuals of blooming and fading flowers, spoke of vulnerability and resilience.
In 2025, Jisoo returned with “Your Love,” a visually stunning project filmed in Singapore’s Rainforest Wildlife Park. The MV was praised for its almost dreamlike quality, with Jisoo embodying a modern fairytale heroine. Fans admired her ability to translate emotions through subtle gestures, proving that her artistry lies not in extravagance but in authenticity.
Her solo path emphasizes elegance and quiet power—qualities that make her stand out in an industry often dominated by louder, flashier expressions.
Jennie – The Bold Trendsetter
Jennie has always been the group’s fashion-forward pioneer, and her solo career reflects this daring spirit. Her 2018 debut track “SOLO” was unapologetic, catchy, and instantly iconic, marking her as a force in her own right.
In 2024, Jennie elevated her artistry with her first full-length solo album Ruby. Featuring collaborations with Dua Lipa and Childish Gambino, Ruby fused Western pop with her distinctive charisma. The album topped charts across Asia and achieved triple platinum status in Korea, proving her staying power as both a musician and cultural trendsetter.
On stage, Jennie exudes confidence. Off stage, her brand partnerships with Chanel and Calvin Klein position her as a global style icon. Her solo journey is about boldness—pushing boundaries in both sound and image.
Lisa – The Global Phenomenon
Lisa’s solo debut was nothing short of explosive. With “LALISA” and “MONEY”, she broke records on YouTube and Spotify, establishing herself as not just a BLACKPINK member but a global superstar in her own right. Her sharp dance skills and charismatic stage presence set her apart as one of the most influential performers of her generation.
In 2025, Lisa took a surprising turn with the short film Dream, co-starring Kentaro Sakaguchi. While the film sparked controversy, it also revealed her desire to experiment beyond music. Lisa’s journey reflects her restless creativity—always pushing into new territories, whether through rap, fashion, or acting.
Her collaborations with Celine and Bulgari further highlight her status as a fashion powerhouse, proving she’s a phenomenon that transcends music charts.
Rosé – The Soulful Storyteller
Rosé’s solo debut “On the Ground” showcased her ethereal vocals and introspective songwriting. With lyrics about chasing dreams and finding meaning, the song resonated deeply with fans navigating their own struggles. Her performance at The Tonight Show emphasized her ability to captivate with raw emotion rather than spectacle.
In the years since, Rosé has embraced a more bohemian rockstar vibe, blending soft grunge with her signature elegance. Her collaborations with Yves Saint Laurent have made her a fashion muse, while her acoustic performances remind fans that simplicity can be powerful.
Rosé’s solo artistry represents vulnerability and authenticity. She gives voice to emotions that often go unspoken, making her one of BLACKPINK’s most relatable storytellers.
Why Their Solo Journeys Matter
BLACKPINK’s strength has always been collective, but the members’ solo projects prove that each one is an artistic force individually. These ventures broaden the group’s reach: Jisoo resonates with fans seeking emotional depth, Jennie attracts trend-driven audiences, Lisa commands the global mainstream, and Rosé connects with those searching for authenticity.
Together, their solo work expands BLACKPINK’s influence, ensuring that their legacy isn’t tied to one image or sound, but to a spectrum of identities that represent modern womanhood in all its diversity.
Wrap-up – Unity in Diversity
The story of BLACKPINK’s solo journeys is a story of individuality, empowerment, and versatility. By stepping out on their own, each member strengthens the collective, proving that BLACKPINK’s magic isn’t diminished by separation—it’s multiplied.
As we follow Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé on their solo paths, one thing becomes clear: BLACKPINK is not just one group, but four unique artists who, together, are rewriting the rules of global pop.
