Lisa Hints at New Solo Album During BLACKPINK Livestream
One year after Alter Ego, Lisa sparked fan frenzy with her playful reaction to a question about her next solo project during BLACKPINK's DEADLINE celebration.
March 3, 2026
Lisa sent fans into overdrive during BLACKPINK's surprise Instagram Live on February 28, 2026. The livestream, held to celebrate the group's comeback EP DEADLINE, turned into a moment of solo speculation when Lisa read a viewer comment aloud asking about her next solo album.
Her reaction, a knowing laugh and unmistakable smile, was all it took. Within hours, clips spread across social media as fans interpreted the moment as confirmation that new music is in development.
The timing adds weight to the speculation. Alter Ego, Lisa's debut studio album under LLOUD and RCA Records, dropped exactly one year earlier on February 28, 2025. That record debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, produced the hit singles "Rockstar" and "Born Again" featuring Doja Cat and RAYE, and established Lisa as a solo force capable of operating at global pop's highest level.
LLOUD has not announced any upcoming releases. Neither Lisa nor her team have commented on the speculation.
The livestream also carried news for BLACKPINK as a whole. Rosé closed the broadcast by confirming the group would return with another comeback in the future, a reassurance to fans amid the members' increasingly successful solo ventures.
DEADLINE, released the day before on February 27, marks BLACKPINK's first group project since their 2023 contract renewals. The EP features the title track "GO" and represents the quartet's return to group activities after an extended period of individual projects.
