BLACKPINK is proving its immense power in the music industry, with each member showcasing unparalleled solo success. Starting with Jennie's first solo debut in November 2018, the group has consistently delivered record-breaking hits. Now, with all four members actively engaged in solo projects, expectations for their full-group comeback later this year are skyrocketing.

Following Rosé's record-breaking hit 'APT.', which has set new milestones on global charts, Jennie and Lisa have also returned with new music, further cementing their individual artistry. Jisoo is set to make her solo comeback on February 14, marking her first release in two years, sparking curiosity about her distinct musical direction.

Rosé → Jennie & Lisa → Jisoo-BLACKPINK's Solo Era in Full Swing

Since Lisa's solo comeback last summer, BLACKPINK's 'solo showdown' has been heating up, with each member dominating their respective releases.

Rosé's 'APT.' continues to dominate global charts, remaining in the UK Official Singles Chart's Top 100 for four consecutive months. As of February 7, the song ranked No. 2, following Lola Young's 'Messy.' Originally debuting at No. 4, the track has held its position in the Top 2 for the past six weeks.

Her success extends to Billboard, where 'APT.' reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 on February 8. Having already made history as the first K-pop female artist to top the chart multiple times, Rosé is solidifying her long-term impact on the global music scene. On the Billboard Hot 100, 'APT.' reached No. 3 last week, surpassing her previous record of No. 5, the highest ranking for a K-pop female soloist.

While 'APT.' continues to dominate charts, Jisoo, Lisa, and Jennie are preparing their own solo comebacks. Jisoo is set to drop her mini-album 'Amortaj' on February 14, marking her first solo project in two years since 'Flower.' Fans are eager to see if she will surpass her previous success.

Lisa will release her first full-length solo album, 'Alter Ego,' on February 28. She recently collaborated with Doja Cat and Lay for the pre-release track 'Born Again,' solidifying her position as a global pop star.

Jennie is set to unveil her first full-length solo album, 'Ruby,' on March 7. Having teased fans with pre-release singles and visually striking music videos, she has demonstrated her evolution as a solo artist. Her collaboration with Dominic Fike, 'Love Hangover,' debuted at No. 64 on the UK Official Singles Chart, proving her growing influence in the international music industry.

YG Gears Up for BLACKPINK's Full-Group Comeback with Aggressive Promotions

With each member achieving remarkable solo success, anticipation for BLACKPINK's full-group comeback is at an all-time high. Their agency, YG Entertainment, has already begun laying the groundwork for their 2025 world tour, releasing an official teaser early on. While solo activities and their upcoming Coachella performance in April are still in full swing, hints of a reunion tour are sparking excitement among fans.

Industry insiders predict a massive impact, as BLACKPINK's individual successes have only heightened demand for their group return. Unlike many other groups, BLACKPINK's discography remains relatively exclusive, adding to their mystique and desirability.

One music critic stated, "BLACKPINK has always released fewer songs compared to their active years, making each comeback highly anticipated. Their unique blend of hip-hop, pop, and EDM has defined YG's signature style, which fans continuously crave."

YG Entertainment has reportedly dedicated an internal team solely to BLACKPINK, ensuring the group's successful return.

Another expert noted, "While fans are eager for a BLACKPINK reunion, balancing each member's individuality while maintaining group synergy will be YG's biggest challenge. With such strong solo careers, it remains to be seen how they will seamlessly blend their evolving styles."

With BLACKPINK's official 2025 comeback and world tour already in motion, expectations are through the roof, making this one of the most anticipated returns in K-pop history.
