While LISA is best known for her monumental success as part of BLACKPINK for several years, her solo creativity has also seen remarkable achievements across the board. The release of her solo album Lalisa in 2021 shattered records, making her the first female artist in South Korea to sell nearly 750,000 copies in the first week. Both viral hit tracks "Lalisa" and "Money" soared to the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 charts, with "Money" securing its place as the longest-charting song by a solo female K-pop artist on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and the U.K. Singles Chart.
Beyond setting herself up for a brand new era as an artist, LISA is currently looking to expand her horizons into acting with a role in the upcoming season of the critically acclaimed HBO Original series, The White Lotus for its third season. So needless to say, with her unwavering passion for creativity and boundary-pushing vision, LISA is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music industry and beyond.
