BLACKPINK’s Rise: From Group Activities to Successful Solo Projects

At the close of last year, the members of BLACKPINK renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment, paving the way for their individual projects under newly formed management companies. Jennie is now at the helm of Odd Atelier, Lisa operates Loud, Jisoo has founded Blisoo, and Rosé has joined The Black Label, collaborating with renowned producer Teddy.

On October 18, Rosé dropped her latest single “APT,” featuring pop sensation Bruno Mars. The song draws inspiration from the trending Korean game APT Game, boasting an enthralling melody and lyrics. It rapidly gained popularity, climbing up global music charts.

“APT” will be part of Rosé’s highly anticipated debut solo album, set to hit the shelves on December 6. Notably, she contributed to the lyrics of all twelve tracks on this album. The success of “APT” has amplified excitement surrounding the upcoming release.
