With the highly anticipated releases of Lisa’s Moonlight Floor, Jennie’s Mantra, and Rosé’s collaboration with Bruno Mars, APT, the group continues to break records, defy expectations, and fill the long-awaited thirst of fans eager for new music from the K-pop superstars.
Lisa: Breaking Barriers and Making History
Lisa has had an unforgettable year, solidifying her position as a global icon. Her releases, ROCKSTAR and Moonlight Floor, have cemented her as a powerhouse in the music industry. But it was her jaw-dropping performances at the MTV VMAs, Global Citizen Festival, and her history-making appearance as a performer at this year’s Victoria's Secret show that truly captured global attention. These achievements broke barriers not just in K-pop, but for female artists worldwide.
