BLACKPINK member Jisoo has finally unveiled the release date for her long-awaited solo music project.
A three-part post from the singer featuring a photo of a green, grass-filled expanse with the star’s name in small white letters, followed by another with a red piece of cloth crumpled in the foreground (and the words “Coming Soon” in red) and the March 31 release date for the project. The third panel confirms March 31 release date for the project.
At the start of the year, reports surfaced that Jisoo’s much-anticipated solo debut was finally in the works, making her the fourth and final member of the group to branch out with her own music.
Jennie was the first member to go solo, with the single “Solo” in 2018. She was followed by members Rosé and Lisa in 2021, with the releases “Lalisa” and “R”, respectively.
The last member of the girl group to go solo, Jisoo has long teased a solo venture, revealing that she was going to record an album in 2022.
In late February, Korean entertainment label YG Entertainment confirmed that Jisoo was preparing to release solo music in 2023.
Jisoo spoke about going solo during an interview in May 2022. “I’m not sure how much I want to go solo yet,” she told Rolling Stone at the time.
“The music I listen to, the music I can do, and the music I want to do — what should I choose? I love songs with lots of instruments. I love different bands and rock music. What do people want from me? There’s a chaos of conflicting questions. So I’m still tilting my head in confusion. I’m not sure what will happen with my solo plans this year.”
YG Entertainment announced that the project will come in “red” and “black” versions in a special commemorative box featuring a photo book, lyric sheet, random Polaroid, and random “selfie card,”.
