Lisa’s Solo Career

This solo project is the next step in Lisa’s impressive career. After debuting with BLACKPINK in 2016, she quickly became one of the most recognized global figures in the K-pop industry. Her solo debut in 2021 with Lalisa proved to be a huge commercial success, with the title track and B-side Money gaining massive popularity. The release earned Lisa multiple accolades, including the MTV Video Music Award for Best K-pop in 2022.

Following her solo debut, Lisa continued to experiment with her sound, releasing singles like ROCKSTAR and New Woman in 2024. These songs have laid the groundwork for the upcoming album, with the title track hinting at a bold new direction for her music.

In 2023, Lisa parted ways with YG Entertainment for individual projects but remains a member of BLACKPINK. She also launched her own agency, LLOUD, in 2024, with ROCKSTAR being the first song released under the new label. Lisa has also ventured into acting, preparing for her debut role in The White Lotus, expected around 2025.

Behind the Scenes of ALTER EGO

According to Lisa, creating ALTER EGO has been a labor of perfectionism. In an interview with Billboard, she spoke about the creative process, sharing that she’s been meticulous in finalizing the tracklist for the album. “I think they’re going to be shocked at how capable I am at doing so many things,” she said, hinting at her diverse abilities as a performer.

The album will explore multiple aspects of Lisa’s identity, with the five locations featured in the teaser representing five different characters she embodies on the record. These characters are symbolized by the points on a star, which has become a central motif in the album’s campaign. The album is expected to offer fans a deeper look into Lisa’s personal evolution and artistic growth.

Fans of BLACKPINK can also look forward to a reunion of the group in 2025, as the band prepares for new group activities after Lisa’s solo album release. In the meantime, Lisa has expressed her support for her bandmates Rosé, Jennie, and Jisoo, each of whom is also exploring their own solo music journeys.

“We know each other so well and know how much energy we have to put into every single project,” Lisa shared, emphasizing the strong bond within BLACKPINK and their mutual support for each other’s solo efforts.

With ALTER EGO, Lisa is set to continue her reign as a trailblazer in both the K-pop and global music scenes, offering fans a glimpse into her evolving persona and expanding musical range.
