SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- Lisa and Jisoo, both members of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK, each released new solo singles Friday, a month after the group celebrated its 10th debut anniversary.
Lisa dropped "SaWaDiKa" at 9 a.m. (Korean time), while Jisoo followed with her track "Click" at 1 p.m., their respective agencies said.
SaWaDiKa, whose title is the Thai greeting for "hello," serves as a pre-release from Lisa's upcoming solo EP, "Press Play," due out Oct. 23.
Sony Music Entertainment Korea, the album's local distributor, described the song as a hip-hop-driven track showcasing Lisa's rapping.
The Thai-born rapper is also set to stage her "Viva La Lisa" concerts at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Nov. 13–14 and 27–28.
Jisoo's "Click" is the first pre-release single ahead of her debut full-length album, according to her agency Blissoo.
The company said the song captures an instinctive attraction between two people who know they should not be drawn to each other but "naturally click" anyway.
The music video for the song, released on the same day, was directed by Joseph Kahn, known for his work with global pop stars, including Taylor Swift and Eminem.
