Blackpink's Jisoo releases debut solo EP 'Me' led by single 'Flower'

On 31 March 2023, Jisoo, one of the four members of the South Korean group Blackpink, released her first solo project, the EP 'Me'. It was issued through YG Entertainment, the agency that manages the group, and was led by the single 'Flower', with a music video released alongside it.

Jisoo was the third Blackpink member to step out solo, after Jennie and Rosé, and the last of the four to do so as the group's members pursued individual careers alongside their shared work. 'Flower' drew wide international attention and entered charts in a number of countries, helping to raise her profile beyond the group.

The EP also performed strongly at home, where it was reported to have set first-week sales records in South Korea for a female soloist. The release mattered because it established Jisoo as a solo artist in her own right. It laid the groundwork for later steps in her career, including her expanding work outside music and the international representation deals that followed.
