FLOWER 🌺 is part of JISOO's first solo album, the album is called "ME" and consists of 2 songs: FLOWER, ALL EYES ON ME, the song FLOWER achieved 40 million views in its first 24 hours on RU-vid , the music video was recorded in LOS ANGELES, the song is a ballad (pop, r&b, edm), its concept is classic, sophisticated and elegant, also the album "ME" already has 2 historical records. - It is the kpop album with the most pre-sales in 24 hours (in the entire history of kpop) - and it is the album (by a kpop female soloist) with the most pre-sales in the history of kpop with more than 1.3 million albums in pre-sales. - In addition, JISOO sold 1 million albums in its first week of release, something that only ADELE AND TAYLOR SWIFT had achieved, and the song FLOWER reached #2 on the BILLBOARD 200 GLOBAL CHART. JISOO is the visual and lead vocalist of the group, she is also the oldest member of the group, her album was delayed due to the pandemic and the strange handling that the company gives to the group, the BLINKS have been waiting for this solo for 7 years and after seeing it we can say it was worth every damn second 👌🤩
Great reaction. Jisoo is not the most popular Blackpink member in the West, but in Korea and throughout Asia she is immensely popular. This music video came out in 2023 and was the most viewed RU-vid video by any Kpop act (male or female, group or solo) in 2023. Flower is included in her album "Me" which holds the record for sales by a solo female Kpop Idol. She is also an award winning Lead Dramatic Actress that is highly in demand for the most coveted roles in Korean cinema (currently filming a high-budget movie where she is the Lead Actress). That movie is penned by an Oscar winning screenwriter that previously penned the Korean movie that also won the Oscar for Best Film of the Year in 2020 (first foreign movie to win the Oscar for Best Film). Jisoo is a great underdog story. When she first debuted in 2016 she was attacked for allegedly only adding a pretty face and no talent to Blackpink and was even called the "Blackhole of Blackpink". In the beginning she was often ignored at Blackpink fan signings and other public events. At that time she said as long as she had one fan that was enough for her to be happy. Obviously, she is no longer ignored. There is even a clip of her at the Dior Fashion Week Show in Paris (she is Dior's global ambassador and was ranked as the most impactful influencer of Paris Fashion Week) where celebrities like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and others are surrounding Jisoo waiting to be introduced to her. It was kind of a hectic scrum around her the year before, where Charlize stepped forward to offer her services as her body guard against the swarm of photographers (and yes there is a RU-vid clip of that too).
Great Reaction Stu! ‘Flower’ is actually my favorite Solo song! Jisoo stuck to her roots and it turned out really amazing! YG Sent her to Universal Studios in L.A. to shoot this Music Video! Her B-Side is ‘All Eyes On Me’ Hope you have a chance to react to it as well! You can use a lyric video! Jisoo worked on her Solo project in the middle of BlackPinks World Tour! So she didn’t get to make a Music Video for her ‘All Eyes On Me’!
All the solos are great, but i think Jisoo is the most personal of the 4. Seems like this song screams Jisoo all over, the intriguing but captivating melody, subjective and eerie lyrics and the color palette and calmness of the MV, all seems so tied to her persona, i think this is the most accomplished solo from Blackpink, as in capturing the essence of the member
Once you watch the solo songs from all 4 members you will get to know why them as a group is the strongest and top tier group in the music industry. Each of them brings their unique element to the table. And of curse after listing to all their songs you will understnd how the Jisoo's solo song (flower) is unlike any of the blackpink song or kpop song. It is a master piece and unique in its own way.
If you are interested, every girl has solo projects: JENNIE - SOLO, YOU & ME dance performance video LISA - LALISA, MONEY ROSÈ - ON THE GROUND, GONE JISOO - FLOWER, ALL EYES ON ME there is no music video for this song, but there are color coded lyrics
please react to Rosé's solo songs 'On the Ground' and 'Gone' have music videos on Blackpink's channel, she sings a 3rd song 'Hard to Love' which doesn't have an m/v just the audio.
