In the interview, Lisa also revealed her true feelings after making her solo debut through her album, LALISA.

Before the Thai rapper took over the solo stage, two BLACKPINK members -- Jennie and Rose -- had already debuted individually. After seeing her fellow members having the best times in their solo debuts, she pushed herself to give her best on her album.

Her self-titled album already broke and made new records. It even conquered the Guinness Book of World Records by defeating other soloist's milestones.

The Guinness Book of World Records' official website revealed that Lisa dethroned Taylor Swift in the most-viewed YouTube music video by a solo artist in 24 hours. Swift's Me! garnered 65.2 million views in a day, while Lisa managed to get 73.6 million views.

BLACKPINK Lisa follows Rose on the website after the member set the record for most-viewed Youtube music video by a solo K-pop artist with her album's title song, On The Ground.

Both will appear on the Guinness World Records 2022 book, and BLINKs could not wait to see all BLACKPINK members enjoy the same milestone.
