JISOO Talks ‘Earthquake’ Shakeup, Debut Solo Album ‘AMORTAGE,’ BLACKPINK Reunion Tour | Billboard News

BLACKPINK’s JISOO has released her debut solo mini-album, AMORTAGE. She walks us through her new pop sound, the reasons for releasing it now, her creative process for “Earthquake,” BLACKPINK’s upcoming summer tour reunion and more!

JISOO:
I’m in Billboard!

Tetris Kelly: 
Yes she is! She made it to Billboard. And I mean, we’re so happy to have you. The beginning of the year just kicked off, so what have you been up to?

Ah … These days, I’m always filming a drama. I’m shooting the drama and new series.

How was it to step into the acting world? What’s it been like?

So, I initially pursued acting because I loved the idea of transforming into a completely new person. Now, having been in several series, I find that with each role, I embody someone different. It’s a refreshing experience that offers a unique charm distinct from my work as a singer.

And I feel like you’re also a new character when you do new music. We’re here to talk about the new music today. “Earthquake” is so good. I was about to blow listening to it. So tell me why that song was the first one you wanted to offer up to your fans?

That song captures the thrill of experiencing first love. When I first heard it, I was immediately swept up by this intense, wonderful feeling — it was like butterflies in my stomach. It just clicked. The song lived up to its title perfectly, evoking that precise emotion from the very first listen. That’s exactly why I chose it.  

And do you feel like there was some inspiration behind that subject that made you want to really lock into it?
