On the 1st, BLACKPINK’s Jennie announced through her official website that she will return with a new single titled “Mantra” on the 11th. Along with the announcement, promotion links were opened for fans to “pre-save” the song on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
A snippet of “Mantra” was also revealed for the first time, featuring a short but addictive melody that left a strong impression, raising anticipation for the full track.
A video featuring the phrase “Calling All Pretty Girls” attracted massive attention, with not only fans but also numerous global artists responding to it. The phrase quickly dominated the real-time trends across various countries and regions on X (formerly Twitter), proving its overwhelming popularity.
In addition to her activities with BLACKPINK, Jennie has been achieving remarkable success as a solo artist. Last year, she became the first Korean female soloist to earn Platinum certification from the RIAA with her collaboration track “One of the Girls” featuring The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp. Her debut solo track “SOLO” also surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube in April, making her the first K-pop female soloist to reach that milestone.
