JISOO Explains Why She ‘Felt the Need’ to Make a Solo Album After BLACKPINK Success on ‘Hot Ones’
BLACKPINK’s JISOO appeared on Hot Ones, where she discussed her forthcoming debut solo album and explained that moving beyond group work made her want to explore her own artistic identity more fully. Her comments matter because the album will be her first full-length solo release following BLACKPINK’s continued global success and her 2025 EP, AMORTAGE.
JISOO said she aimed to include musical styles she enjoys to give the record greater variety and colour. She handled the spicy-wing challenge better than most of her bandmates, although she eventually turned to milk and ice cream; she also said eating spicy food before concerts relaxes her throat, helps her sing and relieves stress. BLACKPINK’s EP Deadline reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 after the group’s recent comeback tour.
In short
- JISOO is finishing her first full-length solo album.
- She wants to show more of her individual artistic identity.
- She largely coped well with Hot Ones’ spicy challenge.
Explained simply
JISOO is a member of BLACKPINK, one of the world's most commercially successful music groups. She is preparing to release her first full-length solo album following the group's continued global success and a solo EP released in 2025. When established group members pursue solo work, it marks a significant moment as they develop their individual artistic identities.
Hot Ones is a celebrity interview show where guests discuss their lives whilst eating increasingly spicy chicken wings. The informal, relaxed format often encourages artists to speak openly about their creative decisions. JISOO's appearance provided a platform for her to discuss her forthcoming solo project.
Solo albums by members of successful groups matter because they allow artists to explore musical directions that may differ from the group's established sound. They signal to audiences the breadth of an artist's individual creativity whilst their main group remains active, and show how members develop as independent artists.
