Lisa, the singer-rapper from BLACKPINK, hinted at releasing a second solo album this year.
She made this announcement in a YouTube video on 27 March, released by her label Lloud on her 27th birthday. Her debut solo album came out in 2021.
Birthday Reveal
Other than her second solo album, it’s revealed in the 15-minute “Special Birthday Q&A With Lisa: 27 Years Around The Sun” video that she might have potential collaborations with Rosalía, a Grammy-winning Spanish musician, and Tyla, a South African singer-songwriter.
She also revealed her 7.5 billion won (about S$7.5 million) home in Seongbuk-dong, Seoul, sharing personal spaces with fans for the first time on Lloud’s YouTube channel.
She discussed her best birthday memory, a surprise family holiday to Hong Kong Disneyland, and considered being a flight attendant as an alternative career.
She mentioned maintaining a work-life balance by disconnecting on days off.
BLACKPINK, consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, and Rose, is currently on hiatus after their “Born Pink World Tour” ended in September 2023, with each member pursuing individual projects.
Lisa was born on 27 March 1997 in Buriram, Thailand, and is the only non-Korean member of BLACKPINK, which is signed to the South Korean label YG Entertainment.
She is the youngest member of BLACKPINK, alongside Rosé.
She was the only one out of 4,000 applicants to successfully audition for YG Entertainment in Thailand in 2010.
This won’t be her first solo album.
Lisa made her solo debut in September 2021 with the single album “Lalisa”, which broke the record for the most-viewed music video by a soloist in 24 hours.
Outside of music, Lisa has appeared as a dance mentor on Chinese survival shows and has endorsement deals with brands like Moonshot and MAC Cosmetics.
She was just in Singapore early this month to attend two concerts: Shinee’s and Taylor Swift’s concert.
And of course, also for some Hai Di Lao.
