Jisoo of Blackpink has hit a major streaming milestone with her solo debut single "Flower," which surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, her agency Blissoo confirmed on Wednesday. Released as the lead track of her first solo album, Me, "Flower" quickly made waves globally and set records as the first million-selling album from a female K-pop soloist, with over 1.17 million copies sold in its first week.
Since the album 'Me' was released last year, "Flower" has remained a powerful representation of Jisoo’s musical versatility and appeal. The track blends traditional Korean sounds with modern pop elements, allowing Jisoo to carve out a unique sound as a solo artist distinct from her work with Blackpink.
In addition to her success with "Flower," Jisoo is reportedly preparing to release a new solo album by the end of this year. Local media reported last week that she will begin filming a music video for the upcoming album within the month. Although Blissoo has neither confirmed nor denied these reports, they acknowledged that details regarding the release have yet to be finalized.
Apart from her music career, Jisoo has recently been focusing on acting, further establishing her versatility in the entertainment industry. She has completed filming for The Prophet: Omniscient Reader, a highly anticipated movie adaptation of a popular web novel. Additionally, she is set to star as the female lead in Newtopia, a zombie apocalypse drama that is generating considerable excitement among fans and the general public alike.
Jisoo's expanding portfolio highlights her influence not only as a musician but also as a prominent actress. Her growing presence in both the music and acting worlds reflects her ambition to explore diverse artistic avenues and connect with a broader audience. Industry insiders speculate that her upcoming album could showcase an even deeper exploration of her musical identity, building on the success of Me and further solidifying her solo artist status.
As Jisoo’s popularity continues to soar internationally, her achievements represent the growing impact of K-pop female solo artists in the global music landscape. Fans and industry watchers alike eagerly await her next moves, both in music and acting, as she continues to make strides on both fronts.
