- Jennie: Announced her solo album titled "Ruby". This full - length album is expected to feature several big - name artists such as Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, and Kali Uchis. She has already released a music video for the song "Zen" from the album, which showcases a different, more fantasy - filled side compared to her previously released single "Mantra". She is also set to release "Love Hangover" with Dominic Fike on January 31st.
- Lisa: Has ventured into acting, set to appear in HBO's "White Lotus" Season 3, which is filmed in Thailand.
