BLACKPINK's Lisa Becomes ELLE's First K-Pop Solo Cover Star

BLACKPINK's Lisa graced the cover of ELLE USA's September issue, showcasing her latest solo work and affirming the group's continuity despite members pursuing individual projects. In her interview, Lisa reassured fans that BLACKPINK is not disbanding and expressed pride in the group, stating, "Of course we’re continuing, for sure." Recently, she released her first solo single 'Rockstar' and plans to collaborate with Rosalía on 'New Woman'. However, Lisa faced some backlash from fans for not posting group photos during BLACKPINK's 8th anniversary celebrations, leading to criticism about her perceived distance from the group. Despite these concerns, YG Entertainment announced a new comeback and world tour for BLACKPINK in 2025, alleviating fears of disbandment. Lisa's journey as an artist has included taking creative control through her label, LLOUD, and embracing new opportunities such as acting in 'The White Lotus'.
