‘Through this tour it felt like we all grew together,’ said by Rose, feels so important. Basically, our girls are free now – unlike most other K‑Pop idols who are tied to long‑term contracts. And even after a contract ends, it’s usually not easy for idols to stand on their own feet.

But Lisa, Jennie, Rose and Jisoo are so popular and successful that they can do whatever they want. So when Lisa says ‘I realized how much the members mean to me,’ it becomes a very strong statement.

Sure, they were all emotional, and we’ll see what happens in the next few months. But I think these sentences are powerful, and for me they carry more weight than what we heard after the Born Pink Tour. Now, with all 4 of them independent, their words feel more personal, more intentional, and more revealing.

What do you think? I’m sure they’ll continue doing their solo work – they love it. But beyond the rational argument that BP boosts their solo careers, I also think they’ve become closer now.

Did the tour change your opinion about their future?
