Just months after BLACKPINK’s “Deadline,” LISA is stepping into the spotlight solo — and fans can’t stop talking about it. On August 24, she unveiled the cover art for her upcoming EP “Press Play,” confirming an October 23 release that’s already being called her boldest, most personal project to date.

What We Know So Far
“Press Play” arrives as LISA’s follow-up to her debut full-length album, described as a celebration of how far she’s come while honoring her roots in Thailand. The 6-track EP caps off a massive breakout year for the star — one that included her role in “The White Lotus” Season 3, sold-out Las Vegas shows, and a documentary premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The announcement landed the same day as bandmate JISOO’s own solo teaser, with JENNIE having already revealed her solo EP plans earlier — signaling a full BLACKPINK “solo era” rollout. The lead single, “SaWaDiKa,” drops September 3, ahead of the full EP.
