BLACKPINK’s JISOO Announces New Musical Collaboration with Zayn Malik

On a quiet Monday, the music world buzzed with anticipation as JISOO of BLACKPINK posted a teaser on her social media. The image, shrouded in mystery, shows her alongside a shadowed figure with the phrase “EYESCLOSED” emblazoned across it, hinting at an intriguing collaboration.

Speculations were put to rest when it was announced that the figure in the shadows was none other than Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction. This duet marks a significant crossover between two powerhouse performers from divergent musical realms.

A Surprising Encounter and a Shared Stage

Zayn’s interest in BLACKPINK was first noted when he attended their New York concert on July 27. The outing was a family affair, as he brought along his daughter, Khai, showcasing his affection for the group. Subsequent social media posts by Zayn, where he thanked BLACKPINK and mentioned the enjoyment he and Khai experienced, sparked further interest among fans about a potential collaboration.

What This Collaboration Means for JISOO

The unveiling of this duet comes at a pivotal time. JISOO has been riding high with her successful solo EP, Amortage, released earlier in the year. Known for hits such as “Earthquake” and “Your Love,” this upcoming collaboration could explore new musical landscapes for JISOO.

Currently, JISOO is part of BLACKPINK’s ongoing ‘Deadline’ world tour. After electrifying performances in London, the group is set to grace the stage in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on October 18th, continuing to captivate audiences worldwide.
