LISA is looking back at her past as she gets ready to move forward as a soloist. In a Vanity Fair cover story published Tuesday (June 23), the BLACKPINK member reminisced on meeting her bandmates back when they were trainees and revealed that she’s already started work on her next album.

An origin story that many BLINKs may know by heart, LISA was the second of the quartet to enroll in YG Entertainment’s training program. There, she met JENNIE, who showed her the ropes, after which JISOO came along. “We went out together, even though I can barely speak Korean and she can barely speak English,” LISA told the publication, “but we figured out how to have a conversation, a great conversation.”
