In 2025, BLACKPINK is making headlines more than ever. Last year, there were worries about the group’s future because of uncertainty over contract renewals with their agency. But things have changed.
Now, the members of BLACKPINK have decided to continue with their group activities while also focusing on their solo careers.
They have all started their own individual labels, but they are still committed to the group. This shift has allowed them to explore new music and keep their place as global superstars.
Jennie’s Upcoming Album “Ruby” and Exciting Collaborations
In the first month of 2025, BLACKPINK members have made many announcements. Jennie revealed that she will release her album “Ruby“ in March.
The album will feature a music video for her prerelease track “Zen“ and a duet with Dominic Fike, an American singer-songwriter.
She has also teamed up with Doechii, a Grammy Award-winning rapper, for a track dropping soon.
Lisa’s Solo Release “Born Again” with Raye and Doja Cat
Lisa has joined the solo wave with her new single “Born Again,” released on February 7.
The song features British artist Raye, nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, and American rapper Doja Cat, who has received 19 Grammy nominations.
Jisoo’s Mini Album “AMORTAGE”
On February 14, Jisoo released her mini album “AMORTAGE,” which has earned praise for her involvement in writing, singing, performance design, and even visual direction.
Rose’s Hit Song “APT.” Makes a Strong Comeback
Rose has also been making waves. Her song “APT.“ from last year has seen a surprise resurgence.
It’s been dominating the music charts, even reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the U.K. Official Chart.
Solo Careers in K-pop
In the past, solo projects in K-pop were rare, as many fans feared they might break up groups. But the industry has changed.
Today, solo activities can bring positive results and even help groups grow stronger. BLACKPINK’s success shows how solo careers and group unity can go hand-in-hand.
A New Chapter for BLACKPINK
BLACKPINK’s solo releases mark the beginning of a new chapter for the group. With their individual projects, the members are showing that they can thrive both as solo artists and as a group.
This shift is bringing optimism for BLACKPINK’s future. Fans believe the members are setting the stage for a long-lasting career.
Jennie moves easily between different musical styles, from the charming “It Girl” to the dramatic “Zen.” Rose uses her music to share her personal journey.
Lisa brings her Thai background and hip-hop influences into her music. Jisoo is showing off her unique style in her new album and even acting in the new zombie comedy series “Newtopia.”
While the four members are finding success as individuals, they are also laying the foundation for BLACKPINK’s future together. Fans can expect more exciting things to come from the group in the years ahead.
