Lisa's "Alter Ego" Era: Chart Records And Artistic Vision
#LISACHELLA has gone viral on social media, as people are rallying behind Lisa over her impressive performance at Coachella. The "Rockstar" singer performed at the Sahara Tent, the biggest tent at the festival. In addition to her enigmatic and extravagant performance, Lisa's reptilian outfit, designed by Asher Levine, became a topic of conversation.

After departing from YG Entertainment, Lisa has been non-stop in pursuing her solo career — from performances at Victoria’s Secret and the 97th Academy Awards to Coachella. Her label, LLoud Co., also entered a partnership with RCA Records, an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment.
In 2025, she realized her artistic vision by releasing her debut solo album, "Alter Ego." According to Billboard, Alter Ego was the only debut to enter the top 10 on the latest Top Album Sales chart. She strategically released solo music with different concepts, later revealing that these personas were all parts of her artistic identity in "Alter Ego" album. Fans first met one of Lisa’s alter egos in the music video for the album’s lead single, “Rockstar,” which peaked at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in summer 2024.

The album includes a total of 15 songs, with collaborations from major artists such as Doja Cat, Rosalía, Megan Thee Stallion, and Tyla. Lisa is also venturing into acting with a role in HBO’s "White Lotus" while continuing as a Louis Vuitton ambassador.
Jennie’s "Ruby" Era: Fashion Icon Turned to Billboard Force
Everything Jennie wears sells out—that’s how powerful her influence is. Often referred to as “Human Chanel,” Jennie was one of the first K-Pop stars to become an ambassador for a luxury fashion house. Now, she’s dominating her solo career with equal force. She was honored with the Global Force Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, becoming the first-ever K-Pop solo artist to do so.

Along with Lisa, Jennie started her own agency after parting ways with YG Entertainment and concentrated on pursuing her solo career as a musician. She released "Mantra" in late 2024, peaking at No. 3 on Billboard's Global 200. Jennie fight back at her bashers with a diss track, "Like JENNIE," on her "Ruby" album. The album is her personal transition to finding her professional ideology and taking back her strength. It was an anthem of self-love, illustrating her rapping capabilities and vocal range. She has also made collaborations with other famous artists such as Doechii, Childish Gambino, and Kali Uchis.

Along with Lisa, Jennie trended online for her outdoor stage performance at Coachella, impressing fans with her high-intensity dance and vocal skills. #JENCHELLA trended globally. Her Coachella performance was so strong that "Like JENNIE" once again entered the Billboard Hot 100.
