Solo album, Amortage
Jisoo’s debut solo album Me, released in 2023, saw widespread commercial success with its lead single “꽃 (Flower)”. Two years later, the BLACKPINK vocalist is set to make a comeback with Amortage this Valentine’s Day. Combining “amor”—the Latin word for “love”—with ‘montage’, the album is said to reflect the defining stages and moments of love.
Amortage also saw Jisoo signing a deal with Warner Records to promote her solo album. Post-departure from her previous management company YG Entertainment, Jisoo’s solo music will be released under BLISSOO, her personal label established in February 2024.
On 11 February, Jisoo dropped a music video teaser for “earthquake”, a track from her upcoming album. The music video is scheduled for release on 14 February 2025 at 2pm Korea Standard Time (1pm SGT).
Upcoming fan meetings in Asia
In support of Amortage, Jisoo also recently announced her first solo fan meetings to be held across seven cities in Asia. Titled “LIGHTS, LOVE, ACTION”, fans can look forward to seeing the star up close and in person after the release of Amortage.
K-drama comeback with Newtopia
The idol actress is also starring in the K-drama Newtopia, which premiered on 7 Feb 2025. Her lead role as the ex-girlfriend of Jae-yoon (played by Park Jeong Min) sees the pair playing a recently broken-up couple hoping to reconcile after a zombie outbreak in South Korea.
