SEOUL, (Reuters) – K-pop group Blackpink’s Jisoo became the last member to make a solo debut with her EP “ME” released on Friday.

Having debuted in 2016, Blackpink has become one of the biggest girl groups in the world, breaking records such as having the most subscribers on YouTube as an artist.

Local media reported this week that the group would put on a joint performance with pop star Lady Gaga at a state dinner U.S. President Joe Biden will host for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol in late April. 

YG Entertainment (122870.KQ), Blackpink’s agency, said it was reviewing the offer, though the presidential office denied the reports on Friday.

“We have our concerts and Coachella in April as a group. We have great things coming up.” Jisoo told fans in an online news conference.

Many meetings and a lot of thought went into her first record, she said, before adding that she was not nervous about her solo debut.

Jennie, another member of Blackpink, released her first solo work in 2018. Rose and Lisa also made their solo debut in 2021.

The group embarked on a world tour “Born Pink” in Seoul in October which is scheduled to continue until June.

YG Entertainment said pre-orders for Jisoo’s debut album surpassed 1.31 million copies as of Thursday.

Earlier this month, the K-pop superstars also became the most-streamed female band on streaming app Spotify, according to Guinness World Records.

Their songs had a whopping 8,880,030,049 individual streams, overtaking British pop group Little Mix, Guinness World Records said at that time.

Hollywood star Keanu Reeves has returned once again as John Wick, which fans have been waiting for a long time.

His longest dialogue in this new film was ‘You and I left a good life behind a long time ago, my friend’.

But the important thing is that Keanu Reeves got paid $39,473,000 (more than one crore 11 lakh Pakistani rupees) for each word.

It is believed that Keanu Reeves was paid over one and a half million dollars (over 4.25 billion Pakistani rupees) to act in this film.

That is, he earned $552,622,000 for speaking the longest dialogue of the film.

27% of Keanu Reeves’ dialogues in the film consisted of one word such as thanks, oh, right and what.

He was paid between 10 and 20 million dollars to work in the first part of the series.
