Jisoo begins new solo chapter with AMORTAGE, announces fan event and Asia tour

The BLACKPINK member has officially launched her solo career with the release of her debut extended play, AMORTAGE. Arriving on Valentine’s Day, the 4-track project represents a significant milestone as her first full-length solo endeavor, following her 2023 single album Me.

The EP explores the various emotional stages of love, blending rich storytelling with her distinct artistic style. The project marks a new chapter for Jisoo. After concluding Blackpink’s Born Pink World Tour in 2023, she departed from YG Entertainment to establish her independent label, Blissoo, in February 2024. Talking in an interview about AMORTAGE with Rolling Stone, the artist has said about the album,

“My debut mini album Amortage is finally here,” she then adds “It is a collection of stories about love – the highs, the lows and everything in between. I poured my heart into this project and I’m so excited to share it with you all. Thank you, Blinks, for your endless love and support. This one’s for you!”

AMORTAGE, the title merges the Latin word "amor," meaning love, with "montage," symbolizing the different phases of a relationship. This release paints a vivid picture of love’s journey, capturing its highs and lows through deeply personal storytelling.

The BLACKPINK member co-wrote all four tracks alongside Jordan Roman and other collaborators, while Blissoo and The Wavys handled the production. For the first time, the artist is independently unveiling a solo album, blending two Korean tracks with two English ones. Here is the tracklist of AMORTAGE :

1. Earthquake
2. Your Love
3. Tears
4. Hugs & Kisses

The album’s concept navigates the complexities of relationships, reflecting on the emotions that define each stage. Each song in the EP conveys a distinct emotion—Earthquake captures the electrifying rush of a new romance, Your Love, and expresses the happiness of being in love. Tears delves into the pain of heartbreak and Hugs & Kisses reflects the sense of liberation and self-growth after moving on.

The singer first made her solo debut in 2023 with the singles Flower and All Eyes on Me. However, AMORTAGE is her first fully developed project outside of Blackpink, aligning her with fellow members Lisa, Jennie, and Rosé, who have also pursued individual music ventures.

As a Blackpink member, she has contributed to nine Billboard Hot 100 hits and played a key role in the group's historic achievements. That includes becoming the first Korean act to headline Coachella and topping the Billboard 200 with Born Pink.

To celebrate the release, Jisoo will hold a special fan event, ‘Soo In Love,’ at CGV Cheongdam CineCity in Seoul. She will also connect with fans across Asia through a fan meeting tour, making stops in seven major cities, including Manila, Bangkok, and Tokyo.

The physical edition of AMORTAGE is available in four versions: Black, Purple, App (KIT), and Reels (NFC). Alongside her music career, Jisoo is also set to star in the upcoming romantic zombie drama Newtopia. The drama premiered on February 7, 2025, via Coupang TV and is available for streaming on Prime Video.
