And we send our unwavering support and faith to [fans].”
So what does 2024 have in store for Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé, and how will they take their careers and individual fortunes to new heights in 2024? Here’s what we know so far.
Lalisa Manobal, 26
As an ambassador for luxury brands including Bulgari, Celine, Mac and Prada, Thai “It” girl Lisa is already a busy woman. But, like her bandmate Jennie, Lisa is rumoured to be dipping her toes into the acting pool this year.
Media outlets worldwide have widely speculated that Lisa will be joining the cast of The Walking Dead for its next season. Lisa was seen travelling between Seoul and Paris, where the series was filming, and in November she was spotted at a Champions League football match in the company of Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. Both Reedus and the TV show’s official Instagram account started following the singer soon after, giving fans possible hints of what’s to come.
