On February 21, BLACKPINK's Jisoo shared a TikTok video featuring her Newtopia co-star, Park Jeong-min, who joined her for the Earthquake Challenge. The dance challenge is based on Earthquake, the lead single from her album AMORTAGE, which was released on February 14, 2025.

All about Jisoo's latest solo release, AMORTAGE
Released on February 14, 2025, AMORTAGE marks Jisoo’s return as a solo artist, being her first drop under her own label after parting ways with YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023. The EP features four tracks, with Earthquake as its lead single. This project serves as her first full-length solo work following the success of her 2023 debut single album, Me.
Earthquake was accompanied by a visually captivating music video, blending elements of fantasy and reality. The song carries an intense, dynamic energy, contrasting with the EP’s overarching romantic theme.
Its lyrics liken love to an unstoppable natural force, building suspense before erupting into a powerful chorus. The bridge heightens the emotional pull, emphasizing the unpredictability of romantic emotions.
AMORTAGE delves into love’s evolving stages, weaving together emotions and storytelling. The record's title combines "amor," the Latin word for love, with "montage," representing the different phases of a relationship. Each song explores a unique emotional experience:
- Earthquake – The thrill of an all-consuming romance
- Your Love – The warmth of being deeply in love
- Tears – The sorrow of heartbreak
- Hugs & Kisses – The strength found in moving forward
Jisoo played an active role in crafting the EP, co-writing all four songs alongside Jordan Roman and other collaborators as the project balances Korean and English tracks.
