Despite how successful Solo was, I sincerely doubt she will ever have another solo. There was so much backlash from boths fans and bystanders about how she got a solo debut despite BlackPink having only a handful of songs that YG Ent had to pretend that the other girls were also going to receive a solo as well to appease everyone. I think she's really talented and could have had a thriving solo career on the side (like what Hyuna and Sunmi had done) while also still being acknowledged as a member of her own group if they actually had just a few more songs. People were rioting mainly because it didn't seem right for one idol to get a solo when they hadn't even had a full album at the time. Plus the name of the song was literally "Solo" which confused many people and gave the song negative connotations cause it seemed like Jennie was literally going solo before the song was released.
I doubt she will ever come back with another solo because of all of this plus all of the stress she seems to have developed. I don't know what's going on in her personal life and it's none of my business but I personally think she also may not want to go solo again because of all the comparing and negativity it brought to her career.
Creating my debut solo album in 2015 Looking Back: Flute Music by Joseph Schwantner was truly such a thrill. The experience made me eager to embark on my next project, but I knew I needed to find the perfect point of inspiration before moving forward.
The brand new solo single is Jennie's first in five years, which comes on the heels of her appearance as Dyanne in HBO's The Idol, which was created by Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and Euphoria's Sam Levinson.
According to the most recent platform update, Jennie's solo song "SOLO" has officially racked up over 400 million streams on Spotify, one of the largest music streaming sites. "SOLO," Jennie's solo debut song, was released on November 12, 2018. It reached the milestone three years and nine months later.
"SOLO" is Jennie's first song to reach the 400 million stream mark as well as the first song by a Korean soloist to do so. In addition, "SOLO" is the second song by a K-Pop soloist overall to hit the mark after Jennie's fellow member Lisa's "MONEY".
