Jisoo talks about Amortage and BLACKPINK's upcoming tour in recent interview with Billboard

In her interview with Billboard, the FLOWER vocalist also discussed the strategic release of her single Earthquake and album Amortage on Valentine's Day. She shared that since the theme of her album is love, releasing it on Valentine's Day seems quite appropriate. She stated:

"The title of the album is a combination of Amor and Montage, which brings together the themes of love and montage. The entire album is made up of short stories about love capturing different moments and emotions."

She concluded:

"So, I thought releasing it on that particular day would make it feel even more romantic, which is why I chose that date!"

During the interview, Jisoo also spoke about BLACKPINK's much-anticipated tour and shared what fans can look forward to. She enthusiastically remarked that they have all grown significantly while working on their solo careers, so fans can expect a spectacular performance.

"Last year, as each member focused on individual activities, we all grew a lot. Now, as we come together for this year, I feel like we’ll be able to return with an even bigger and more spectacular presence."

She concluded the interview by expressing her aspirations and hopes for the year ahead and admitted that has been eagerly anticipating a BLACKPINK reunion. She also confessed that working solo can be rather lonely.

"I am excited for BLACKPINK to unite. The energy between the four of us is something truly special. I can't wait for us to be together again, and just have fun. Working solo has been an amazing experience but honestly it can get a little lonely sometimes," she said.
