2nd june 2023, Mumbai: BLACKPINK’s management company, YG Entertainment, announced on June 1 that “BLACKPINK member Jisoo contracted COVID-19.” On May 30, Jisoo displayed minimal cold symptoms. Her negative result of a self-test was verified, but a different report said otherwise. They continued by saying that Jisoo had a strong desire to perform in order to keep her commitment to the supporters who had been patiently waiting for her.
However, Jisoo ultimately decided against taking part in the performance for the benefit of everyone’s security and the wellbeing of the other performers. The BORN PINK globe tour will stop in Osaka, Japan, on June 3 and 4, with only Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé performing. Because they are aware of the anticipation from the audience, they pleaded for their support as they did their best to deliver the show on time.
200 million streams of Jisoo’s debut album, “ME,” have been recorded on Spotify. The album, which included the popular song “FLOWER,” became the first by a Korean female solo artist to exceed 200 million streams in as little as 57 days. ME previously held the record for the album by a Korean female solo artist to surpass 100 million Spotify streams in the quickest time, which was 20 days. The album broke the first-week sales record for a K-pop female solo performer by selling a total of 1.17 million copies from March 31 to April 6, becoming a Million Seller.
