On January 23, 2025, BLACKPINK's Jisoo took to the South Korean social media platform Bubble, where she addressed the ongoing issues related to her upcoming solo comeback. Jisoo's upcoming project will be released on February 14, 2025.
However, many fans are now claiming the promotion period for the album or track is too short. Many also expressed disappointment about the release of fewer clips or videos related to the album.
In her Bubble message, the idol explained the slow pace of her album launch schedule and said (as translated by X user @NEWSJISOO),
"I wanted to show you various things quickly, but I also wanted to show them perfectly, so... I ended up being a bit slow, haha."
BLACKPINK's Jisoo mentioned that decision-making, organization, and other details related to her upcoming project were tough
The Flower singer confessed that doing everything related to her upcoming project on her own was a tough job. She hoped that BLINKS, as BLACKPINK fans are called, would like her music.
She addressed concerns about the short promotional period and said,
"I've heard concerns about the sales period being short! I had my own worries and concerns too, but I think I chose a path because I wanted to show something better that I could truly be satisfied with! Hahaha. I hope everyone enjoys it when it comes out! That would make me happy too. Just wait a little bit longer, hehe."
BLACKPINK's Jisoo commented that she felt dejected about making fans wait for her music and added:
"It’s upsetting to make you wait even in 2025! But still, we have Youngjoo, so it’s okay, hahaha. I’m sorry and I love you. When something comes out, I’ll give you all my love. But in 2025, I’ll definitely show BLINK more of me!! hehe."
The artist mentioned that she was feeling stressed and conversing with BLINKs made her feel better.
BLACKPINK's Jisoo concluded the Bubble update by requesting fans to look forward to her upcoming album. She added, as translated by X user @NEWSJISOO:
"I still have no doubt that you’ll love it once it’s out! This isn’t a spoiler, though… hehe. I really want to show you photos soon. I’ll show them soon… very soon! But ‘soon’ is becoming my least favorite word of the year, haha."
BLACKPINK's Jisoo's much-anticipated drama, NewTopia, is slated for release on February 7, 2025. The show will be available on Coupang Play and Amazon Prime Video
