• BlackPink Lisa's Solo Album 'Money' Special Performance Video Is Confirmed

    A special performance video for Blackpink Lisa's solo album 'MONEY' has been confirmed.

    YG Entertainment stated that Lisa's 'MONEY Exclusive Performance Video will be released at 00:00 on September 23rd.

    'MONEY' is a hip-hop genre with a minimalistic yet sophisticated sense.  Lisa's vivid and splendid charm as a solo artist doubled as she kept the texture of the music she had presented through Blackpink's activities. Featuring addictive brass riffs, intense piano sounds, and unstoppable lyrics.

    For this reason, after the release of the sound source, Blink received a response as great as the title song 'LALISA' from the album. However, 'MONEY' had no music video or music broadcast stage, so the fans were very disappointed.

    YG said, "For the many global fans who are waiting for Lisa's 'MONEY stage, we prepared a special performance video on our own.

    Previously, YG boasted an overwhelming scale and high level of perfection with the special stage video for 'LALISA' that is produced in-house. This is why fans' expectations for this 'MONEY' exclusive performance video are growing.

    It is expected that the performance video contains Lisa's powerful hip swag. Especially 'MONEY'

    Meanwhile, after releasing her solo album 'LALISA' on the 10th, Lisa hit various global charts. After touring the top of iTunes Top Song Charts in 72 countries so far, it entered the 15th spot on the Spotify global chart. In addition, it also ranked first on the global YouTube song chart, making us realize once again the ripple effect of Lisa in the mainstream pop market.

    Lisa made new records. The music video for the title song 'LALISA' achieved 73.6 million views on YouTube in the first 24 hours, breaking the world record for a solo artist. And in two days, it surpassed 100 million views, breaking the new record for the shortest time as a K-pop solo artist.

    The Initial Chodong sales of the album 'LALISA' also record high. The Initial Chodong record released by Hanteo Chart on the 17th was a total of 73,622 copies. This surpassed the Initial Chodong sales of Black Pink's 'THE ALBUM', which recorded about 690,000 copies on the Hanteo Chart. Including overseas sales, it is understood that more than 800,000 copies have been sold.

  • 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!
