• LISA's Solo Album 'LALISA' Achieves More Than 800,000 Pre-order Album Sales

    BLACKPINK LISA's first solo single album 'LALISA' pre-ordered more than 800,000 copies, YG Entertainment announced on September 10. It is the momentum to challenge the million seller with the best record for a KPOP female solo ever.

    The highest record ever recorded by a single KPOP female solo artist is certain. Considering that she is spreading the wings of a bigger leap as a global pop star, becoming a million-seller is also something to look forward to.

    LISA will release her first solo single album 'LALISA' at 1 pm on the same day. As a member of the world's top girl group BLACKPINK and boasting overwhelming charisma, the news of her sortie has been attracting attention early on.

    YG Entertainment raised the fans' expectations to the highest level by launching the 'LALISA' D-DAY poster and a timer to inform that her sortie was imminent.

    In the poster, LISA exuded an unusual aura with her outfit adorned with gorgeous gold accessories and a mysterious atmosphere. In particular, her figure lying on the water in front of the intense red color background is very attractive.

    LISA said, “I’m happy and excited to be able to show you my new side and music".

    LISA's solo album contains a total of 4 tracks, including the title songs 'LALISA' and 'MONEY'. The title song 'LALISA' is a hip-hop genre that harmonizes with a provocative brass riff and dynamic rhythm. 'MONEY' is also a song that LISA's explosive swag is expected. The music and performance that contain LISA's identity, and the crystallization of hip charm were foretold.

    LISA meets fans first through 'COUNTDOWN LIVE', which is broadcast simultaneously through Naver V LIVE and TIKTOK an hour before the album's release. After that, she will then perform her first solo stage on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', an American NBC talk show.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
