BLACKPINK Solo: Jisoo’s Unique Rhythm and Confident Choice
Jennie and Ros é’s new work has sparked heated discussions
Recently, everyone’s social media platforms have been flooded with Jennie’s “Mantra” and Ros é’s collaboration with Bruno Mars on “APT”. Since the four members of BLACKPINK chose to go solo and not disband, Lisa, Jennie, and Ros é have successively released new works, showcasing their respective music styles in independent solo forms.
However, Jisoo has yet to make a new comeback, which has sparked a lot of attention and discussion among fans.
Jisoo’s Focus: Drama Work
Every singer has their own development schedule. Jisoo is currently mainly focused on drama work, so it is normal that no new music works have been released.
However, this arrangement unexpectedly sparked controversy, causing some fans to feel angry and disappointed.
New music works by the other three members
Since the four BLACKPINK members left YG Entertainment, they have each developed in different fields. Lisa was the first to release multiple works such as Rockstar, New Woman, and Moonlit Floor; Jennie tried a new music style through “Mantra”; Ros é also collaborated with Bruno Mars to bring a surprising song called ‘APT’. The three of them have different styles in their new works, which proves to the world that even without YG Entertainment, they can still handle various music styles independently.
However, Jisoo has not released any new solo music works since leaving YG and forming a new company, Blissoo. Some fans are anxious about this, even leaving messages directly on Blissoo’s social media platforms, reminding Jisoo not to forget that you are a singer. Some even assert that if Jisoo continues to have no new works, it is likely to lose a large number of fans.
Jisoo’s Work Focus and Fans’ Expectations
Fans’ concerns are not unreasonable, after all, seeing idols constantly releasing new works is the greatest happiness for music fans. However, for Jisoo, she is not “resting” or “slacking off”, but temporarily redirecting her energy towards the field of drama.
Make dramas and movies, but never forget your identity as a singer
Fans familiar with Jisoo know that she has always had a strong interest in acting. Therefore, after independent development, she chose to focus on her theatrical works first.
At present, Jisoo is known to have participated in the filming of the Korean drama “Influenza” and the movie “The Reader’s Perspective”, and is expected to collaborate with Xu Renguo on the new drama “Monthly Boyfriend”. These drama projects obviously took up most of her work time.
Meanwhile, Jisoo’s financial power and influence remain strong. During this period, she frequently appeared at brand events and fashion weeks. Recently, she became Tommy Hilfiger’s autumn spokesperson, which makes people eagerly anticipate her future collaboration with the brand.
Jisoo’s response: There are plans for the future
Although Jisoo has a clear plan for her own development, she also cares about the voices of her fans. Recently, she shared her future development trends on social media, so that fans don’t have to worry, stating that she will definitely bring satisfactory works to everyone. She emphasized that she will not only release multiple solo works, but also continue to return to the music stage as a BLACKPINK member.
Earlier, YG Entertainment also revealed that BLACKPINK will return as a group in 2025 and embark on another world tour to meet fans from around the world.
Jisoo, who insists on an independent rhythm: moving forward in a comfortable way for oneself
As the ‘big sister’ in BLACKPINK’s team, Jisoo has always been known for her high emotional intelligence. When her teammates released solo works one by one, she did not feel pressure from external expectations, but chose to follow her own pace and wait for the truly suitable works to be shared with everyone.
Her calm and composed demeanor actually made fans look forward to her music even more.
Flowers and All Eyes On Me: Unique Charm
Although “Flower” and “All Eyes On Me”, which Jisoo released only 7 years after her debut, may seem “slightly late” to some, these works showcase Jisoo’s most confident and carefree side with their unique musical style and expressive power, and have received high praise. She once said that she doesn’t like to compare herself to others and is more concerned about whether she has made progress. This Buddhist attitude may be the key to her finding balance in the competitive and high-pressure entertainment industry.
Go your own way: Jisoo’s persistence and belief
Jisoo insists on walking the path that suits her best at her most comfortable pace. In this rhythm, she doesn’t have to follow the crowd or compete with others. Those fans who truly love her will naturally wait for her works. And those who don’t understand her, no matter what she does, will not be satisfied.
Jisoo’s persistence and composure not only earned her more respect, but also helped her find a unique balance between music and drama. She tells everyone through her actions that life doesn’t have to always follow the footsteps of others. Finding your own rhythm is the most important thing.
