Local media reported this week that the group
would put on a joint performance with pop star Lady Gaga at a
state dinner U.S. President Joe Biden will host for South Korean
President Yoon Suk Yeol in late April.
YG Entertainment, Blackpink's agency, said it was reviewing the
offer, though the presidential office denied the reports on
Friday.
"We have our concerts and Coachella in April as a group. We have
great things coming up." Jisoo told fans in an online news
conference.
Many meetings and a lot of thought went into her first record,
she said, before adding that she was not nervous about her solo
debut.
Jennie, another member of Blackpink, released her first solo
work in 2018. Rose and Lisa also made their solo debut in 2021.
The group embarked on a world tour "Born Pink" in Seoul in
October which is scheduled to continue until June.
YG Entertainment said pre-orders for Jisoo's debut album
surpassed 1.31 million copies as of Thursday.
Earlier this month, the K-pop superstars also became the
most-streamed female band on streaming app Spotify, according to
Guinness World Records.
Their songs had a whopping 8,880,030,049 individual streams,
overtaking British pop group Little Mix, Guinness World Records
said at that time.
