Lisa
In September, Lisa made her solo debut at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, performing two of her latest releases, the major bop Rockstar, and New Woman which features Spanish singer Rosalía. The Thai singer-rapper recently released Moonlit Floor, her latest solo single which samples Sixpence None the Richer’s 1997 hit, Kiss Me.

Rose
Blinks are in for a treat as Rose will finally be releasing her first full-length solo album, Rosie. Shortly after announcing her solo contract with Atlantic Records, the singer dropped an Instagram post to reveal a teaser of her new music. “I have poured my blood and tears into this album. I cannot wait for you to listen to this little journal of mine. Rosie is the name I allow my friends and family to call me. With this album, I hope you all feel that much closer to me,” she wrote in her Instagram post.

While Jisoo is relatively quiet on the musical front compared to her members, she has been busy in the acting side of the entertainment industry. She’s currently filming the upcoming K-drama Monthly Boyfriend, which also stars singer-songwriter and actor Seo In-guk (She Was Pretty, Doom at Your Service).

Lainey was the Digital Director of Tatler Malaysia. When not whiling away the hours watching documentaries, the latest K-drama, or reruns of Friends, she can be found indulging her wanderlust by stalking travel platforms or feeding her obsession with music. She loves animals, running, all things social media, a good conversation over coffee or soju or wine (often rambling on if nobody pulls the brakes on her), and is an avid fan of bursting-at-the-seams laughter.
