Jisoo Exceeds 2 Million Domestic Album Sales, Surpassing Lisa and Rosé to Top K-POP Female Soloists

Jisoo of BLACKPINK has set a historic record in terms of domestic album sales. According to Circle Chart (formerly Gaon Chart), her cumulative solo album sales have surpassed 2 million units, a figure that exceeds not only her groupmates Lisa’s 1 million units and Rosé’s 1.5 million units but also that of veteran artist IU’s 1.84 million units. Jisoo released her first full solo album, “ME,” on March 31, and achieved this milestone solely through six solo tracks, including her solo single “Flower” (2023) and the title track “Earthquake” from her recent mini-album “AMORTAGE.” “ME” sold 1.5 million copies, while “AMORTAGE” added another 462,057 units, pushing the total cumulative sales past 2 million. Jisoo had already secured the top spot for female soloist album sales back in December 2024. Meanwhile, the group members are also making significant strides in their individual careers during the same period. Rosé reached second place on the Billboard Global 200 chart with her collaboration song “APT” featuring singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, while Jennie serves as an ambassador for Chanel’s “Chanel 25” handbag line. Lisa is boosting her international profile by appearing in Season 3 of the drama series “The White Lotus.” Jisoo successfully concluded her solo tour “Lights, Love, Action!” across seven Asian cities—Manila, Bangkok, Tokyo, Macau, Taipei, Hong Kong, and Hanoi—from March 14 to 30—and was also cast in the Korean drama “Boyfriend on Demand.” Despite splitting into individual agencies after their contract with YG Entertainment expired in 2023, all four members of BLACKPINK are delivering outstanding results as solo artists. Including Lisa and Jisoo, who are under contracts with agencies like Galaxy Corporation, Jennie and Rosé are also carving out their own paths. This demonstrates how the group’s global influence is extending to their individual activities. With 412.6 million Instagram followers and 151.7 million TikTok followers, BLACKPINK has caught the attention of world-class luxury brands such as Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, and Tiffany. The group is set to resume its world tour in July, marking a potential reunion, which has heightened fans’ expectations for the synergy between their solo and group activities.
