Lisa assures fans BLACKPINK will remain together despite members’ solo ventures

BLACKPINK's Lisa recently offfered a rare and intimate look into her life, career, and personal evolution. Known for her powerful stage presence and flawless performances, Lisa shares a more introspective side, discussing her journey toward self-acceptance amid the pressures of fame.

Lisa told ELLE, “To be honest, I’m not the type who’s really good at expressing my feelings. Lately, I feel more confident of what I think, and say it out loud”, as quoted by AllKpop. This newfound confidence is reflected in her solo projects, including new music and a highly anticipated performance at the Global Citizen Festival in New York in September, marking her first solo festival appearance.

Reflecting on her solo career, Lisa ADDED, "I think what I’ve learned from last time is me, myself, saying what I like and what I don’t like. I think that’s the most important. Because if I say, ‘Ah, it’s okay,’ [people] don’t know—like, am I really okay with it? So I have to be able to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Not in between”. This clarity extends to her ongoing commitment to BLACKPINK, while pursuing solo projects.

Despite her solo projects, Lisa reassures fans about BLACKPINK's future and quipped, "To Blackpink fans worried that the members’ solo pursuits mean an end to the group, Lisa offers reassurance. While she has parted ways with YG for her solo career (as have members Jennie, Jisoo, and Rosé), all four renewed their contracts for future work as a group. In July, YG founder Yang Hyun Suk teased a potential tour in 2025”.

She further affirmed, “Of course, we’re continuing, for sure. We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves. There was no doubt. This is our life”.
