Fans have long been wondering about Jisoo’s solo debut after all the other members have successfully released their own albums. Jennie was the first member to go solo in 2018. This was followed by members Rosé and Lisa in 2021.
YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s agency, put an end to the speculations and released an official statement saying, “BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is currently working hard on recording her solo album. While carrying out a busy world tour schedule since last year, she finished the album jacket photo shoot and worked on music production whenever she got the time in order to keep the promise with fans. She will greet [fans] soon with good news.”
Jisoo’s YouTube channel
To celebrate her birthday today, the singer launched her own YouTube channel named ‘HAPPY JISOO 103%’ (English translation). In Korean, the channel name is ‘Haengbok Jisoo 103%’ or ‘Happiness Jisoo 103%’ which reflects the artist’s hopes that everyone’s happiness index increases. It has reached over a million subscribers in less than 10 hours. She uploaded her first video titled ‘London Vlog’ in which she tours the city along with Lisa. Aside from being a channel made for Blinks, it also promises to donate its profits to charity. According to the vlog’s description, “All profit coming from the HAPPY JISOO 103% channel will be donated to those in need.”
