Lisa’s Journey of Self-Discovery
Lisa Blackpink discussed the initial uncertainty she experienced while creating her debut solo album “Alter Ego,” highlighting her naturally reserved personality.
Going Independent
The K-POP idol spoke to the Wall Street Journal about her decision to pursue an independent solo career. “I am a shy girl inside,” Lisa explained. “In Blackpink, we each have a position. But if I don’t do this now, when am I going to do this?”
Lisa emphasized that her former Blackpink groupmates provided critical support during this transition. “We always discussed it: ‘How do you feel?’ ‘I feel the same.’ We spent three, four years training here – are you just going to go out and do something else? I don’t think you want that,” she shared. The group keeps in regular contact, and Lisa remarked, “I am so lucky to have them. After I perform at a VMA or a big show, they always reach out to me.”
Exploring New Musical Horizons
The singer discovered new dimensions of her musicality while working on “Alter Ego.” “I didn’t know I could do things like hip-hop. I want to surprise them,” she stated.
“Alter Ego” features collaborations with several artists, including Doja Cat, Raye, Megan Thee Stallion, Tyla, and Future, and includes singles such as “Rockstar” and “Born Away.”
