The K-pop act has kept active in recent months, closing out their album era while pursuing individual projects. For instance, Jennie has been promoting her solo work by being on tour with The Ruby Experience.

She and Lisa also performed at the Coachella music festival last month, continuing their visibility in international pop culture. Lisa again made headlines after collaborating with Maroon 5’s track Priceless, which dropped on May 2.

On the other hand, Rosé is contributing to the official soundtrack of the upcoming F1 movie, marking her debut on a Hollywood album. She will be featured on the fifth track, titled Messy, part of F1: The Album, which is scheduled to drop on June 27 alongside the film’s global premiere.
