One such example is Jennie from Blackpink, who debuted as a solo artist in 2018 with the hit song titled “SOLO.” She’s also known as one of the most popular group members in Korea. But for today’s topic, we are going to talk about girl group members who should’ve gotten an official solo debut by now. Are you guys curious about who they are? Well then, without any further ado, let’s dive into our topic for today!
BLACKPINK’s Rose
Blackpink’s main vocalist, Rose is very popular for her unique voice color. It was also allegedly reported long ago that she was supposed to have released her first-ever solo album, but up until now, there is no further information from YG Entertainment about her schedule. BLINKs (Blackpink’s fandom name) even keep asking the company about this matter, and we do hope that Rose will debut as a solo artist as soon as possible. But why do we choose her as one of the most anticipated idols to get a solo debut? Just like we said before, she has a super unique voice. Imagine how good she is to nail a song by herself, she also has a good stage presence. So even though Rose would perform on the stage alone, she would still be able to color up the stage easily. To prove that Rose is capable of being a great female solo artist, we will share some of her live solo performances during Blackpink’s concerts. Here is the compilation video for you guys!
