In an exciting development for K-pop fans, BLACKPINK member Jisoo has made history with her debut solo album, ME. The album has officially surpassed 1 billion streams on YouTube Music, making it the first album by a Korean female soloist to achieve this remarkable milestone. Released earlier this year, ME features the hit single “Flower,” which has garnered an impressive 952 million views, showcasing Jisoo’s strong appeal and talent as a solo artist.
The success of ME is not just limited to streaming numbers. Within just two days of its release, the album sold over 1 million copies, setting a record for the best-selling album by a female soloist in South Korea. Jisoo’s ability to connect with her audience through her music is evident, as both tracks on the album—“Flower” and “All Eyes On Me”—have resonated deeply with fans.
Jisoo’s journey as a solo artist has been highly anticipated, especially as she is the last member of BLACKPINK to release solo music. Her previous work with the group has laid a strong foundation for her individual success. Notably, “Flower” reached number two on the Billboard Global 200 chart and made waves on various international charts, including the Canadian Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, making it the highest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist in those regions.
As Jisoo celebrates this significant achievement, BLACKPINK is also preparing for their 8th anniversary as a group, with a special fan event planned. This celebration highlights the group’s enduring impact and their commitment to engaging with fans, even as they pursue individual projects.
With her record-breaking success, Jisoo has firmly established herself as a powerhouse in the K-pop industry, and fans are eagerly awaiting her next moves in her solo career.
