On January 23, it was reported that BLACKPINK’s Jisoo unexpectedly faced complaints and criticism from some viewers regarding shortcomings in promoting her upcoming music release.
A portion of netizens expressed dissatisfaction with the minimal teasers, especially considering the rapidly approaching release date. Some have expressed concern, stating: “Nobody promotes an album in just 20 days. It makes more sense to release a single on February 14th, then the album 2-3 weeks later. If Blissoo wants to release an album on February 14, promotion should have started last week. Otherwise he’s worse than YG.”
Many of Jisoo’s fans are growing increasingly impatient, especially after seeing her BLACKPINK bandmates – Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa – successfully make their mark with solo projects.
In response to the growing criticism, Jisoo addressed the issue directly through a fan communication platform. Jisoo took a moment to express her feelings and reassure her supporters.
He stated: “I’ve heard concerns about the shortness of the sale period! I had my worries and worries too, but… I think I chose a path because I wanted to show something better that I could actually be happy with!”
Jisoo also offered insight into her approach to preparing for her solo debut. “I wanted to show you various things quickly, but I also wanted to show them perfectly, so… I ended up being a little slow, haha. I do everything by myself: deciding, organizing,… It’s really hard! But I think BLINKs will like it, so I stay strong and work hard!” he explained, highlighting his dedication to providing a high-quality product to his fans.
Here is the heartfelt message that Jisoo shared with her fans:
I wanted to show you various things quickly, but I also wanted to show them perfectly, so… I ended up being a little slow, haha. I do everything by myself: deciding, organizing,… It’s really hard! But I think BLINKs will like it, so I stay strong and work hard! Hehe.
I’ve heard concerns about the shortness of the sale period! I had my worries and worries too, but… I think I chose a path because I wanted to show something better that I could actually be happy with! hahaha. I hope everyone will like it when it comes out! This would make me happy too. Wait a little longer, hehe.
It’s shocking to make you wait even in 2025! But we still have Youngjoo, so that’s good, hahaha. I’m sorry and I love you 🥹💟 When something comes up, I will give you all my love. But in 2025 I will definitely show BLINKs more!! hehe.
Oh, I was feeling a little stressed, but talking to BLINK makes me feel better, hehe. As expected, I’m that simple. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting when I know you’re excited! I’ll go bam bam bam and release it all at once so you’ll be like, ‘Whoa! What is all this?!’ Hehe
Although it seems a little tight and short, and I was wondering, ‘What if BLINK doesn’t like it?’ I still have no doubt that you will love it once it comes out! …This isn’t a spoiler though… hehe. I really want to show you the photos soon… I will show them soon… very soon! But “soon” is becoming my least favorite word of the year, haha. Please wait waiting for everything. Hehe. Soon; Hehe. I love you, see you ♥️🥺
