Numerous fans were astounded when BLACKPINK released the "2021 Seasons Greetings" clip. In the said video, the South Korean girl group's devoted supporters saw Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rose to decorate cakes and taking selfies as they wrap up the previous year.

- March Girl Group Member Brand Reputation Rankings Announced
- BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s “SOLO” Becomes 1st Female K-Pop Solo Artist MV To Hit 1 Billion Views
The "Lovesick Girls" hitmakers also played a game called "Liars Game," which involved champagne and juice. For its mechanics, Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, and Rose have to guess who among them had the single champagne drink. All of them would have to drink the beverage they have, and the BLACKPINK member who has the champagne drink must make sure that the others would not notice that she did not drink the juice.
If the girls guessed right, the BLACKPINK member with the champagne drink would lose and be obliged to clean up after them. If they got it wrong, then one of them would have to clean up.
Jennie and Rose, at one point in the video, called Jisoo a liar after they finished sipping their drinks. The two BLACKPINK members became suspicious when Jisoo told Lisa only to take a sip. Jennie then asked Jisoo if that is her tactic because she does not like her drink.
As a response, Jisoo raised her glass as she tried to convince Jennie, Lisa, and Rose, that she did not drink champagne. She then told the other BLACKPINK members that she was not a liar and even recapped to the other girls the consequences if they are proven wrong.
However, Jennie, Lisa and Rose continued with their allegations. Lisa then pointed out that Jisoo was turning red, which could mean that she, actually, drank champagne. In the end, the three BLACKPINK members chose Jisoo as the liar. However, it turned out that Jennie was the first to accuse Jisoo - who drank the champagne.
Meanwhile, recent reports suggested that Lisa and Rose are already preparing for their upcoming solo debuts. YG Entertainment confirmed the news just a few hours before the world welcomed the new year. The agency even revealed that the twosome has been preparing to shoot their music videos.
YG Entertainment even stated that Lisa and Rose would have to make their solo debuts first since Jisso is currently busy filming her imminent television series called "Snowdrop." On the other hand, Jennie had her solo debut in 2018, wherein she released her solo debut track titled "Solo."
Other reports claimed that Rose would start filming her solo music video in mid-January. On the other hand, no other details about Lisa's solo track and music video have been made public as of this writing.
To recall, YG Entertainment has been very vocal about its plan to let all the members of BLACKPINK release their solo tracks. Aside from Lisa and Rose's forthcoming solo debuts, the girls are also busy preparing for their imminent virtual concert titled "YG Palm Stafe - 2020 BLACKPINK: The Show." It is slated to take place on Jan. 31, 2021. Jennie, Lisa, Rose, and Jisoo are expected to perform their popular tracks such as "Lovesick Girls," "Ice Cream," "How You Like That," and "Kill This Love," among others.
