Jennie 'boldly' forced Lisa into a difficult position, her artistic mind was criticized by fans, causing controversy

Jennie - Lisa launched a series of hits that shook the music market, but accidentally created the opposite scene. While Jennie has the best taste in BLACKPINK, Lisa faces international success, still immature to assert her own name.

Jennie released her debut album RUBY on all digital music platforms. Before the official release of the album, Jennie introduced 3 singles Mantra, Love Hangover, ExtraL and the MV version of ZEN. Each product possesses a distinct color, not mixed from melody to concept.

The RUBY album has a total of 15 tracks, combined with 6 international artists, invested by Jennie in every step. The concept of the album in black - red tones speaks of Jennie's entire personality - brilliant, powerful but no less feminine. Jennie maximizes her creativity, musical thinking and outstanding aesthetics.

On the album RUBY, Jennie carefully builds a complete storyline, which is all about herself based on inspiration from Shakespeare's poem Seven Stages of Life. This is a famous poem in the play As You Like It by the great English poet William Shakespeare. The poem describes a person's journey from birth to death, through seven main stages, each with its own characteristics and roles. Inspired by Shakespeare, Jennie expresses her views on love, birth, faith and pinnacle through her debut album.

This shows that Jennie's serious research and artistic vision are not only based on flashy, trendy and viral things at the moment. She knows what she wants and needs. "The process of making this album is another mature step in my artistic journey and a precious process to find my true voice," Jennie said about her first major milestone after leaving YG and developing an independent career.

For more than 1 year, Jennie and her team moved continuously between Korea and the US, perfecting each step of the product. Of the 15 tracks, Jennie was recorded as a composer and songwriter for 13 tracks, and 2 tracks were composers.

Despite the diversity of genres and stories, RUBY is still closely connected, highlighting the general spirit of the product, also showing the artist's deep thoughts. Jennie's series of "hot" photos are going viral on Kpop forums. The MV LIKE Jennie was also premiered on a giant LED screen in Shinsegae Square, South Korea. The scale of Jennie's promotion this time made people "shocked".

In the opposite situation, the youngest brother of the Black Huong group faced a series of noises and doubts about his ability. "Lisa, a member of the record-setting K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, needs to express herself in depth without the same group members. Alter Ego proves that she can't", was the supposedly cruelest comment that international music website Pitchfork gave Lisa with a modest score of 5.2 out of 10 out of a series of even disturbingly low numbers from the long-established British magazine The Guardian with a score of 4 out of 10. NME (3/5) to The Times.

In the midst of receiving a "storm" of criticism from music listeners and strict reviews from experts, the global Kpop idol is still in the top 1 of the most talked about characters, helping the world's most prestigious Oscars 2025 to reach record views in the past 5 years. Previously, her performance was listed by the New York Times as the Worst Moments at the 2025 Oscars. And mentioning Lisa's name at the Oscars, most of the positive comments were about her beauty and fashion style, while the performance was met with mixed opinions.

The 2 opposite extremes show the harsh reality that Lisa is facing in the journey to make a name for herself without BLACKPINK, just like how Pitchfork frankly stated about her: "At this point in her career, Lisa has become so strong that it is difficult to stumble commercially but difficult to succeed creatively."

Local products for the creativity of Thai female idols are continuously considered clichés by experts, while her commercial influence in many fields of entertainment and fashion is at the top level. As a music idol, does Lisa really want her career and reputation to be shaped like a commercial star?

Jennie - Lisa 'unboxed' new products together, Kpop fans were surprised by one thing? Kim Oanh17:01:14 19/02/2025After a long wait, BLACKPINK's Jennie has finally officially released the full track list for her latest solo album, Ruby, marking her return as a solo artist.
