BLACKPINK's Jennie has etched a significant milestone in K-pop history with her solo single "SOLO," released on November 12, 2018. "SOLO" becomes the first song by a Korean soloist to reach 500 million steams on Spotify.
Despite the unwarranted criticism from detractors, Jennie's unyielding talent, resilience, and wide-ranging public support ensure her continuous rise in the music scene. Her performance in the HBO series "The Idol" has been a particular highlight, earning accolades from prominent media outlets. Even with limited screen time, she has captivated viewers, significantly boosting the show's visibility and viral appeal. Jennie's success story continues to unfold, demonstrating the power of talent and determination in the face of adversity.
This new achievement is added to those already accumulated by Jennie in her debut several years ago, at a time when Kpop was not as globally known as it is today, and even so it had marked historical milestones for any Korean soloist during those times.
Congratulations to BLACKPINK's Jennie!
Most streamed song by a Korean soloist? Jungkook of BTS has a song aiming for 700M streams. I think it's most streamed song by a "female" Korean soloist and first SOLO song to reach 500M.
