Jisoo announced that her upcoming solo full-length album will arrive after BLACKPINK completes its confirmed comeback activities. The KPop star shared the update on January 14, 2026, when fans asked about the release date through her personal fan communication platform called the Jisoo App. In response to the question, she explained that giving a vague answer, such as “soon,” would not be helpful. Instead, she confirmed that she is preparing the project and waiting for the best moment to release it. Simultaneously, BLACKPINK confirmed their upcoming mini-album on the same day as Jisoo announced a time frame for her project. However, the group’s EP is already confirmed to be released on February 27, 2026.
In the same message, Jisoo wrote that schedules had become overwhelming in the past, hinting at the fact that group activities and their individual works happened at the same time. For context, BLACKPINK returned to stages last year with the Deadline World Tour, just as the members had finished promoting their own individual work. Still, Jisoo reassured fans that she is excited and confident about the new music.
Jisoo’s upcoming drama “Boyfriend on Demand” is another important factor influencing the timing of her solo release. The Netflix K-Drama stars Jisoo and Seo In Guk, and estimates indicate it will premiere in early 2026. Internet rumors suggest that February or Spring 2026 is a strong possibility. With BLACKPINK’s comeback beginning first, the K-Drama, and the solo album, fans are in for a treat in 2026.
