The second member of BLACKPINK will be embarking on a solo career, releasing her much anticipated debut album on March 12.

Rosé took to Instagram to make the announcement and shared two teaser images from the album.

Details from the album, including the title and tracklist, have remained under locks, but the preview images provide some hints as to what to expect. In one of the images, under the singer’s name reads “No Way Out” and “You Are Now…”

The solo project was announced back in January with Rosé releasing a 30-second teaser and giving a sneak peek. She also performed the track “Gone” during BLACKPINK’s January Livestream concert The Show.

In other BLACKPINK news, at the end of February 2021, the groups’ video for “Ddu-du Ddu-du” reached 1.5 billion views and they were just named advocated for the UN Climate Change Conference.

Rosé follows fellow K-pop group member Jennie who embarked on a solo career back in 2018, releasing her chart-topping hit “Solo”. Jennie went on to become the first K-pop female to hit 600 million views on YouTube.
