BLACKPINK’s Lisa continues to solidify her status as a global superstar with her solo achievements. The K-pop idol, who made a groundbreaking solo debut in 2021 with the lead single LALISA from her first solo album of the same name, has set another remarkable milestone. LALISA has now surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify.

The accompanying vibrant music video has amassed over 702 million views on YouTube, further highlighting the song's widespread impact.

LALISA is an empowering anthem that celebrates Lisa's unique identity within the K-pop industry. The song's assertive lyrics reflect her determination, desire for recognition, and her unapologetic embrace of her true self.

Since her solo debut, Lisa has been busy with various projects. She launched her own agency, LLOUD, following the entrepreneurial footsteps of her bandmate Jennie. Lisa also made headlines by creating a personal TikTok account, which quickly gained 1 million followers within 2 hours, showcasing her significant influence.
