BLACKPINK is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2026 with an unexpected series of simultaneous solo comebacks from its members, rather than a full group release. This strategy has generated significant buzz among fans and the K-pop industry, as Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo have all released new music within a week of each other, showcasing their individual musical colors.
Jennie initiated the solo relay on August 28, 2026, with her digital EP 'Fallen Angel,' which quickly entered the Melon HOT100 chart. Lisa followed on September 3 with the pre-release single 'SaWaDiKa' and is set to release the mini-album 'Press Play' on October 23. Jisoo also made her comeback on September 4 with the new single 'CLICK,' approximately 11 months after her previous solo activity. This period also saw a controversy surrounding a small-scale fan meeting at the National Museum on August 8, where public access was restricted for the event.
Local bloggers note the unique enjoyment of comparing each member's distinct musical style as they release tracks almost simultaneously. Lisa's releases are highlighted for their extended narrative, with 'SaWaDiKa' serving as a prelude to her upcoming mini-album, while Jisoo's 'CLICK' focuses on a strong single concept. The discussion also included Jennie's 10th-anniversary event fashion, which received mixed reviews for its unique design.
