Why has Lisa chosen to go solo?

When is Lisa’s solo project going to be released?
Well, we don’t know, but as she said it herself, it’s COMING SOON. Will it be a summer drop or an autumn one?
Last week, fans noticed a leaked chat had hinted that the pre-order for Lisa’s album would be starting soon. This came days after South Korea’s music chart, Melon, confirmed that Lisa would be dropping her solo stuff.

It looks like Lisa’s release is all ready to go, as she’s even filmed the music video too.
YG Entertainment said, “Lisa will film the music video for her new song this week. She will be making her solo debut this summer.”
Exciting!
Has Lisa left BLACKPINK?
In short, no way. As previously mentioned, YG Entertainment has encouraged members to make a go of things on their own as well as work as a group.
BLACKPINK recently celebrated their fifth anniversary by launching a pop up exhibition and a custom-made BLACKPINK-themed island in the popular Nintendo Switch video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Don’t fret, they’re still very much together.
