BLACKPINK members Lisa and Rosé are currently creating significant buzz in Korea and globally through their individual achievements and trendsetting influence. Lisa recently made history as the first Asian solo artist to win the MTV VMA 'Best Pop' award, while Rosé has garnered attention for her solo album and the unexpected popularity of her 'stress ball' accessory. The group's pervasive global impact means their activities, from music to personal style, quickly become major talking points.
Lisa's historic MTV VMA 'Best Pop' win was for her song 'Dream,' placing her in competition with global pop stars like Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, distinguishing it from K-Pop specific categories. Rosé's solo album 'rosie' includes tracks like 'APT.' and 'Toxic Till the End,' with the latter featuring her personal songwriting about past relationships. Her use of a Nidooh stress ball in various content led to it becoming a viral 'Rosé comfort item,' causing product shortages and resale interest. Additionally, BLACKPINK members' smartphone choices, whether iPhone or Galaxy, are closely observed by fans, turning devices into fashion statements.
Local bloggers express that BLACKPINK's members possess immense cultural influence, transforming their personal preferences into widespread trends. They observe that the members' ability to make everyday items, like smartphones or stress balls, fashionable highlights their status as style icons. The individual artistic endeavors, such as Lisa's genre-crossing award and Rosé's candid musical expressions, resonate deeply with fans, showcasing their evolution beyond group activities.
