Jennie was the first Blackpink member to release a solo single. She released her song “Solo” on November 12, 2018, which was a big success in South Korea and other countries. The song was performed for the first time during Blackpink’s concert in Seoul on November 10 and 11, 2018, just before its official release.
Jennie was chosen to release the first solo single because she was well-prepared and had gained a lot of popularity in South Korea. She had been training for a long time and was known for her strong performances. This made her a good choice for YG Entertainment to start with her solo project.
The song “Solo” is about being independent after a breakup, and it combines dance, pop, and hip-hop styles. It was very successful, topping several music charts and earning many awards. Jennie’s solo debut marked an important moment in her career and set the stage for other Blackpink members to release their own solo projects later on.
