Seoul, Aug 13 (IANS): K-pop girl band Blackpink member Lisa has said that she struggles to express herself, although she's recently become more confident to say what she's thinking "out loud".

"To be honest, I’m not the type who’s really good at expressing my feelings. Lately, I feel more confident of what I think, and say it out loud," Lisa told ELLE.

The singer is currently preparing to release new solo material, and is happily taking more creative control of her new songs, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She also said that she's become much more decisive in recent times.

Lisa, who released her debut album, 'Lalisa', back in 2021, shared: "I think what I’ve learned from last time is me, myself, saying what I like and what I don’t like. I think that’s the most important. Because if I say, ‘Ah, it’s okay,’ (people) don’t know - like, am I really okay with it? So I have to be able to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Not in between."

Despite this, she feels proud of what she's managed to achieve with the sensational K-pop band.

She said: "When I’m onstage (with Blackpink), I share my energy with my members. If she gives 100, I’ll give 120. We can feel each other. And I love that energy."

Lisa is currently focused on her solo material, but she also remains committed to the girl group.

She explained: "Of course we’re continuing, for sure. We’re so proud of BLACKPINK, and I love BLACKPINK. It is not just because of our fans, it’s for ourselves. There was no doubt. This is our life."
