In an interview with GQ Korea magazine, Jisoo (Blackpink) revealed that she has recently been living in music, actively preparing for both her group's album and her solo album.
I am currently preparing for both Blackpink's new album and my own solo album. In the process of collecting ideas and creating new music sources, I was very excited.
These days, it feels like I am completely immersed in music. Live fully and completely in it, Jisoo shared.
The singer added: "It's time for me to grow up. If I had previously held many different dreams, now is the time to give up a few things to choose to face reality.
For me, this is the time to start a new journey. When I look back at the past, I still feel a little regretful, but above all, I feel excited and ready to accept a new life that is opening up right before my eyes.
