Immediately after airing, Jisoo's product quickly topped search trends on platforms, thanks to the catchy melody and attractive beauty of the female idol.

Up to now, the MV has reached 43 million views after more than 24 hours of release. Previously, the MV reached the top of Korean iChart music charts such as: top 6 on Bugs, top 10 on Genie and top 16 on Melon, reaching more than 6.5 million views on YouTube, after only 1 hour.

Even the hashtag "#Jisoo_Blooming_With_Me" reached more than 1.9 million mentions just a few hours after the MV was released.

Not only that, Soompi noted that Jisoo's album Me has reached 1.3 million pre-orders, the highest in history for a Korean female solo singer, and sales on the first day also recorded a positive number.

Despite the impressive achievement, Jisoo's achievement is still far behind her junior Lisa.

Previously, the MV "Lalisa" recorded 70.3 million views on YouTube after 24 hours of release. Blackpink's youngest member became the Kpop solo artist with the most viewed music video in the first 24 hours at that time.

She is also the female Kpop idol with the fastest solo MV to reach 70 million views on YouTube. At the same time, Lisa owns the MV with the highest number of likes (5.3 million likes).

Jisoo's new MV causes controversy

"Flower" is a dance song with a catchy beat. No Cut News commented that the song has a unique sound. The lyrical lyrics and melody blend harmoniously with Jisoo's voice, creating a dreamy, novel atmosphere.

The MV was filmed in the US and YG introduced it as BlackPink's most expensive production ever. The MV was made with a film camera and invested in costumes.

Sharing about the title track, Jisoo said that this is the song that can most clearly portray the version she wants people to see of herself, including music, melody, performance, and image.

“The first time I heard the demo, I felt like I met the destiny I had been looking for all this time,” the eldest member of BlackPink confided.

However, on the Korean forum Theqoo, viewers are debating Jisoo's product. They think the song's melody is good but doesn't suit the voice of the oldest member of BlackPink.

In addition, her choreography and body control were criticized for being less smooth and her movements lacking decisiveness.

"Jisoo is pretty but her choreography is terrible", "Beautiful face, outfit and background, but her dance moves are very awkward"... are some comments from the audience on Theqoo.

At the moment, Blackpink is still continuing their world tour and this is the reason why it is difficult for the group to arrange their schedule.

Over the past few months, Blackpink's oldest member has been constantly juggling her time between touring with the group and practicing for her solo performance.
