The K-pop world is abuzz with rumors of BLACKPINK’s Lisa making her much-anticipated solo comeback.

On May 14, fans worldwide were sent into a frenzy as whispers of Lisa’s return started circulating.

The rumor mill went into overdrive when Ryan Tedder, the frontman of One Republic and renowned producer for artists like Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, and BLACKPINK, hinted at a collaboration with a Thai artist on his Instagram stories. Hours later, he tagged Lisa in a similar post, adding fuel to the speculation.

Adding to the excitement, hints of a special collaboration with Spanish sensation Rosalía have also surfaced.

Rosalía’s recent Instagram post featuring the Thai flag and the number 9 has fans speculating a September release for Lisa’s rumored album.

The possibility of a Lisa-Rosalía collab holds weight as Lisa had previously expressed her desire to work with Rosalía and Tyla in her vlog.

The two stars share a close bond, with Rosalía having met Lisa backstage at Coachella and Lisa spotted at Rosalía’s birthday bash in September 2023.

If the rumors hold true, this collaboration will undoubtedly be a chart-topping hit that fans eagerly await.
