BLACKPINK's Lisa sets TikTok record, surpassing BTS' Jungkook and Rosé with 10 million followers in just 16 days

BLACKPINK’s Lisa continues to solidify her status as a global icon with yet another remarkable achievement on social media. Just days after joining TikTok, the popular platform known for its viral content and massive user engagement, Lisa has shattered records by reaching 10 million followers in a mere 16 days. This milestone not only makes her the fastest K-pop artist to achieve this feat but also the quickest Asian act in TikTok’s history to hit the 10 million mark.

Surpassing her bandmate Rosé, who previously achieved the milestone in 19 days, and BTS’ Jungkook, who took 21 days to reach 10 million followers, Lisa’s rapid ascent on TikTok underscores her popularity and global appeal. Even BTS, renowned for their massive international fanbase, took two months to achieve the same milestone after joining the platform.
Lisa’s TikTok journey began on June 7 when she launched her personal account, following in the footsteps of Rosé. Instantly setting a new Guinness World Records mark, she garnered an astounding 1 million followers within just 2 hours and 18 minutes, surpassing BTS’ previous record by over an hour. Her first video, teasing her return to the soloist stage, garnered millions of views and likes, fueling speculation and excitement among fans about her upcoming music endeavors.

Confirming her solo comeback shortly after with an announcement teaser and subsequent concept photos for her single ‘ROCKSTAR’, Lisa unveiled a bold and edgy persona that captivated global attention. Her transformation, featuring a striking pixie mullet hairstyle, tanned complexion, and avant-garde styling, further amplified anticipation for the release on June 28. Beyond her musical pursuits, Lisa is set to expand her horizons into acting with a confirmed role in the highly anticipated HBO series, ‘The White Lotus’ season 3.
