BLACKPINK Fans Voice Frustration Over The Absence Of Jisoo’s Solo Debut
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie made her solo debut with the title track “SOLO” in 2018, establishing the precedent for the rest of the BLACKPINK members to make their solo debuts.
But fans had to wait until March 2021 for Rosé to make her solo debut with “On The Ground” and “Gone.”
Fans didn’t have to wait long for Lisa‘s solo debut with “LALISA” and “MONEY,” released in September 2021, just seven months after Rosé’s solo debut.
And while Jisoo made her acting debut with the K-Drama Snowdrop, captivating fans with her acting skills, there haven’t been official updates about her solo debut.
Instead, fans got hope about Jisoo’s solo debut happening sometime in 2022 based on a January fansign with the idol.
Fan: Can we anticipate ChuSolo this year?
Jisoo: Oh, of course!
And with rumors of BLACKPINK having a comeback and a tour soon…

Fans are voicing their displeasure that there still haven’t been any recent announcements about Jisoo’s solo debut.
06/01/2020 "we are currently preparing for jisoo solo as well"
12/30/2020 "jisoo's solo will follow after she has finished filming snowdrop"
07/23/2021 last day of filming snowdrop
07/01/2022 latest report but still no mention about her solo even from the past ones pic.twitter.com/o5nWFsDY6l— °ali (@CHUCARTIERDI0R) July 1, 2022
Fans are especially upset that BLACKPINK might go on tour before Jisoo’s solo is released, which would mean the rest of the members could perform their solo songs and Jisoo couldn’t.
Blackpink going on tour with Jisoo being the only one without having an original solo song, this is so frustrating because it's one thing on top of another, she's always the one who gets the least from the company and is always left last.

They’ve gotten used to her shining on her own and they don’t want to do anything for her, they don’t do anything for her career, why is she even still linked to YG? when they just sabotage and harm her.

completely fucking unfair that jisoo will have to sing someone else’s song on tour AGAIN while the others all have solos to perform, its not just unfair, its unreasonable because jisoo herself promised us her solo this year, yet there’s no mentions of it by yg?wtf??

And many fans are pointing out how excited Jisoo always seemed about her solo debut.
Look at JISOO being excited af about her solo now imagine how many times yg pushed her solo back and how many times they lied to her yall so ready to twist her words bc you never truly supported her WE WANT JISOO SOLO pic.twitter.com/cV5lCXuHWc

Still, other fans are referencing BLACKPINK’s recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where Jisoo voiced her concerns about her solo debut.
Jisoo herself said she isn’t ready for going solo
Let’s not do this— Forblackpink :) (@ForLalisa9) July 1, 2022
I’m not sure how much I want to go solo yet.
The music I listen to, the music I can do, and the music I want to do – what should I choose? I love songs with lots of instruments. I love different bands and rock music. What do people want from me? There’s a chaos of conflicting questions.
I love to perform, but I don’t always enjoy being part of the spotlight. I think it’s different for the other members: They love to receive the spotlight, feeling energized by the people who come to see us, and then getting a bit depressed when the stage is over and silence arrives. I’m a little different. When I’m onstage, I think about not making mistakes. Performing sometimes feels more like a test than something genuinely fun.
-Jisoo via Rolling Stone
But many fans believe that the interview was a misrepresentation of Jisoo’s feelings. Suggesting that Jisoo having hesitations about the genre she wants for her solo debut doesn’t mean she isn’t prepared.
some of u need to learn how to read bc jisoo never said that she’s not ready to have solo and yet u can see ppl saying it. she said that she don’t know what genre she should choose & she wants to show us HER so she won’t pick first random song they will suggest her.

Jisoo spoke excitedly about the plans for her solo, I will never forget that, nor will I forget how important her crafts are for her, making her own music, having her own sound. Her solo debut is something important to her that's why she puts so much thought into it

Hopefully YG Entertainment will make an official announcement about Jisoo’s solo debut soon.
#JISOO is the only member who doesn't have solo songs yet and that frustrates me because they will having a world tour! Chu deserves better 😭 @BLACKPINK pic.twitter.com/fKRcxPdvvZ
