BLACKPINK’s Jisoo makes solo comeback with AMORTAGE and lead single Earthquake
The eldest BLACKPINK member has officially returned as a soloist with her mini-album AMORTAGE. The album consists of 4 tracks, with Earthquake serving as the lead single.
Accompanying the release, she has unveiled the music video for Earthquake, which presents a striking concept blending fantasy and reality. The video follows an office worker whose monotonous routine is disrupted when she receives a text from her loved one at 10:10.
However, before she can respond, a black-gloved hand confiscates her phone and seals it in an evidence packet, hinting at a deeper mystery. The setting then shifts as the protagonist finds herself undergoing a lie detector test, where she is questioned about her true feelings.
In response, she compares her emotions to being hit by an "earthquake" and experiencing an overwhelming rush. As the intensity builds, a car crashes into the room, allowing her to retrieve her phone and reply to the text.
Musically, Earthquake contrasts with the BLACKPINK member’s debut solo track Flower from her 2023 album ME. While both songs explore themes of love, Earthquake features a stronger, more dynamic sound. The chorus delivers a pulsating beat drop, enhancing its energetic appeal.
The music video concludes with an unexpected twist, revealing that the high-stakes events were purely the protagonist’s imagination. The scene returns to reality as she continues her work, having only experienced a fleeting moment of excitement.
Lyrically, Earthquake conveys the intensity of attraction, comparing love to an uncontrollable force of nature. The track builds anticipation through its pre-chorus before delivering an explosive chorus that mirrors the unpredictability of an actual earthquake. The bridge further emphasizes surrendering to emotions despite the looming uncertainty.
The three other songs in AMORTAGE besides Earthquake are:
- Your Love
- Tears
- Hugs & Kisses
Each song represents a different stage of a relationship, making the album an exploration of love’s emotional journey.
To celebrate the release, the singer 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
Beyond music, Jisoo is also making waves in acting. She stars in the romantic zombie drama Newtopia, which premiered on February 7, 2025, on Coupang TV and is available for streaming on Prime Video.
