Jisoo posted a 7-second video on her official YouTube channel titled “Jisoo Coming Soon.” The video depicts a heart rate monitor drawing on a piece of paper and ends with the caption “14.2” — Valentine’s Day.
3 days ago, Osen reported that Jisoo is preparing for her solo comeback, which is expected to be released in February this year. However, Jisoo's management company BLISSOO responded, "It's hard to confirm."
With the latest announcement, the female idol will return to the music scene after nearly 2 years, since the single album "ME" and MV for the title song "Flower", released in March 2023.
Since the 4 Blackpink members separated from YG Entertainment (late 2023), Lisa, Jennie and Rose have released solo songs in 2024, achieving good results.
From June to October 2024, Lisa released three singles, “Rockstar”, “New Woman” (featuring Rosalia), “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me)”, and is expected to release a 12-track solo album “Alter Ego” in 2025.
On October 11, 2024, Jennie released the MV "Mantra", paving the way for her solo album that is expected to be released this year.
On October 18, 2024, Rose took the world by storm when she released the MV “APT.” featuring American artist Bruno Mars. On December 6, 2024, Rose’s debut solo album of 12 songs was officially released, setting a series of impressive records.
Meanwhile, Jisoo is mainly focusing on filming new projects. She stars alongside Park Jung Min in the zombie drama “Newtopia” on the Coupang Play platform, which will be released on February 7.
Jisoo has also completed filming for the movie "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" with main actors Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Soo Bin, Nana. The movie is expected to be released this summer.
Audiences have argued that Jisoo is “lazy to sing” because she only focuses on her acting career. And the music product marking Jisoo’s comeback on Valentine’s Day is the answer, showing that Jisoo still spends time producing new songs.
In an interview with Hypebeast, Jisoo confirmed that she invested a lot more effort into this album than the album "ME".
“Being directly involved in the entire album production process has its challenges. However, when I focus on what the fans will like and carefully prepare every detail, the experience becomes more enjoyable,” the singer added.
In a chat with fans on Bubble on the evening of January 13, Jisoo said that she decided to release music on Valentine's Day because she felt it was very romantic, it was a gift for everyone.
