BlackPink 'fights each other', Jisoo 'turns her back', Jennie brings disaster upon herself, the final boss crushes Lisa

Never before have 3 members of BlackPink released products at the same time as in the past few days. That has created an exciting competition.

BlackPink is entering a new era where the members find their own individual colors and shape that personality more clearly in the international music market. Since the end of last year, the group members have begun to expand their sphere of influence by focusing on solo activities rather than group activities.

The first of them is the youngest member Lisa. Lisa founded her own company called LLOUD and has released 3 consecutive music products: Rockstar, New Woman and Moonlit Floor. As the first person to have a solo product and release 3 MVs, Lisa is the member with the most coverage of BlackPink since the group left YG until now.

She performed at the Global Citizen Festival in New York City in late September. Prior to that, the singer performed at the 2024 MTV VMAs and won the Best K-Pop award for her song Rockstar.

But in Lisa's case, coverage does not go hand in hand with fame. On the contrary, her appearances have been quite controversial and have somewhat diminished the reputation of a top star. Lisa's lip-syncing and unattractive performances, according to many international media outlets, were a "painful blow" to her budding solo career.

Putting aside the controversy, on October 4, Lisa released a song called Moonlit Floor. Unlike the two songs with strong feminist messages, Rockstar and New Woman, Moonlit Floor is a love song in the nu-disco, sweet romantic dance-pop genre, said to be written about the love between Lisa and her French boyfriend.

The audience was looking forward to the explosion of this product, but unfortunately it was hindered by the girls from BlackPink, Jennie and Rosé. On the Billboard Global 200 chart, Moonlit Floor reached its highest rank as of noon on October 22 at 37, lower than Rockstar (4th) and New Woman (15th).

Jennie released her official solo song Mantra on October 11. On the day of its release, Mantra ranked 5th on Spotify's Daily Top Song Global chart, breaking Jennie's own previous record.

Jennie released Mantra on International Day of the Girl on October 11 to convey confidence and independence. True to the lyrics, Jennie also shined proudly on stage in her own way. It also topped the real-time chart of Bugs, a major domestic music site, and the iTunes Top Songs chart in 57 countries/regions. The song rose to No. 3 on the Melon chart.

However, Jennie mentioned the burger brand "In-N-Out" in the lyrics. The song "Mantra" did not pass censorship, which means Jennie will not be able to perform this song on KBS's weekly music show Music Bank. Previously, Blackpink had many songs banned by KBS for various reasons.

Rosé released a new solo track just a week after Jennie. Rosé's new solo digital single APT was released on October 18 and features Bruno Mars.

The song topped the Melon music site's TOP 100 chart on October 19, one day after its release, and stayed there for three consecutive days. It not only dominated domestic music sites, but also topped many major music charts around the world.

According to Newsen, Rosé is the most spectacular of the three BlackPink members who have just released solo products. At the same time, on the music listening site with the largest market share in Korea, Melon, APT also holds the highest position, followed by Mantra at number 3, while Moonlit Floor is not in the top 100. "I poured blood and tears into this album," Rosé told fans earlier this month when she announced the release of her first solo album.

Jisoo is the only member who has not released her own music yet. She has a quite different direction compared to her teammates. The female idol is spending this time focusing on developing her acting career instead of being a singer.
